Archicad

Archicad. BIM, built for architects. Adapted for the Nordics.

  • The exclusive Archicad partner across Finland, Norway and Sweden.
  • Twenty Archicad specialists, in your language and your time zone.
  • We build on Archicad ourselves, not just sell it.
Available in Norway Sweden Finland

What Archicad does for a Nordic team

Most BIM tools were built somewhere else, for someone else. These are the day-to-day problems Archicad solves for the teams that design, build and deliver across the Nordics.

Plans, sections, schedules and details are live views of the same Archicad model. Change one wall and every drawing updates with it. No re-export, no orphan files, no rebuilding the documentation set when the design moves.

Archicad-drawing-linked

From sketch to construction, in one Archicad model

One file, one tool, every stage. Archicad takes a project from the first concept sketch to construction documents and the data downstream teams build from, with the model staying live throughout.
Sketchup-meets-bim

Sketch the idea

Block out volumes and shapes the way you would on paper. Push, pull, morph. No parameters required at this stage.

Rhino-refine-with-grasshopper

Build the model

Walls, slabs, roofs, structure, openings, finishes. All native, all parametric, all in one Archicad file, with timber and prefab detailing through ArchiFrame.

Archicad-coordinate

Coordinate and check

Move models between Archicad, Solibri and your consultants' tools through IFC. Catch issues before they reach the site.

Archicad-document

Document and deliver

Plans, sections, schedules and details, all live views of one model. Plus the data downstream teams build from.

Why Nordic teams pick Archicad

Six things Archicad does well that show up on the first project, whether you are designing a building, manufacturing it, building it, or fitting out a space.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-documentation-sync
One model, every drawing

All views generated from the same Archicad file. Change once, update everywhere. Documentation stays coordinated with the design as it moves.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-architecture-design-aurora-1
Made by architects

Spatial-first tools, plan-led documentation, the way studios actually think about a project. Built by architects and used across AEC.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-IFC
Open by default

IFC, BCF, and IDS since the formats existed. Move data in and out of any openBIM-aware tool without losing structure or intent.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-runs-offline
Nordic standards, built in

Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish templates, libraries and reports, built by Nordic BIM Group so your office does not set them up from scratch.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons_bim-switch
Mac and Windows

Fully compatible across platforms. Teamwork files open in mixed offices, file formats match and Mac and Windows users sit on the same project.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-team
Made for teamwork

A shared model on BIMcloud lets a whole team work in one project at once, across offices and disciplines, with changes visible as they happen.

Built for AEC. Built for the Nordics.

Archicad serves four kinds of business across the Nordics, and Nordic BIM Group stands behind each of them: architectural firms, house builders, contractors and retail.

Architectural firms were the starting point, and they remain our largest group. Around 60% of Nordic architectural firms have chosen Archicad and through our exclusive partnership across Finland, Norway and Sweden, roughly six in ten are Nordic BIM Group customers.

House builders like Østerhus and Kontiotuote run timber-frame and log construction through ArchiFrame and ArchiLogs, from design straight to CNC. Contractors like Volt Entreprenør take the model to the site in BIMx and coordinate with consultants through IFC. Retail chains like Rusta design a store once, document it automatically and run it from the data behind the floor plan.

  • Architectural firms. From the small studio to the landmark project. Concept, documentation, coordination, all in one model.
  • House builders. Timber-frame and log construction with ArchiFrame and ArchiLogs. From design to CNC, in one Archicad file.
  • Contractors. BIMx on the site, IFC to the consultants, models that match what is actually being built.
  • Retail teams. Store rollouts designed once, documented automatically, and run from the data behind the floor plan.

Works with the rest of your stack

Archicad does not stand alone. Nordic BIM Group builds the integrations that keep it useful in a Nordic project: our own NordicTools, the local add-ons, and the Graphisoft pieces that ship with the platform. Through Nordic BIM Group Development Center at Graphisoft Park, we build the add-ons and integrations that run inside it. As Graphisoft moves toward AI-assisted, data-informed design, we plan to bring that direction to the Nordics the way we bring every Archicad release: adapted, trained, and supported locally.
