A free localized starting template is included with Archicad in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. We build your office standard on top of it: created from the ground up, optimized to match how you work, or migrated to the current version.
When is it time to fix the template?
By our own estimate, an architect spends around 70% of the working day inside the BIM tool, and most of that time runs through whatever template the project started from. Three signs yours is costing you time and money.
Every project starts from scratch
There is no real office template. Settings get rebuilt per person and per project, and the output varies with who drew it. We design one from the ground up, around your projects and your standards.
Your template no longer matches how you work
The template exists, but it was built years ago and the workarounds have piled up. We sharpen what you have until it matches how the team actually works and what your customers ask for.
Your template is stuck on Archicad 27 or older
Archicad 28 changed how libraries and templates are delivered. A template from 27 or older needs a one-time lift to the current version. After it, future upgrades stop being template projects.
Typical outcomes.
A template is infrastructure. The payoff repeats in every project that starts from it.
One language across the office
Same attributes, same names, same way of working. Colleagues can support each other, and project handovers stop costing days.
Fewer clicks in every project
Pre-set Favorites and views remove the set-up work that repeats in every project. Small savings, multiplied across most of every working day.
Faster project starts
New projects open with views, layouts, and schedules ready. New hires ramp up on the office standard instead of on someone's habits.
Correct output, every time
Standardized exports and quality-control views mean drawings and data leave the office consistent. What you deliver can be trusted, and checked less.
Who this is for
For organisations that run Archicad in production: architectural practices first, plus contractors and house builders with in-house design teams.
Offices where everyone works their own way
Principals and BIM managers who see inconsistent output and slow starts across the team. More discipline will not fix a structural problem. The template is the structure, and setting it right is cheaper than living with the spread.
The template owner who never gets time
The power user who maintains the template between projects, usually alone. We work with them, not around them, and we leave documentation behind so the standard outlives any one person's tenure.
Firms standardizing across teams or offices
Multi-team and multi-office firms that need one standard across locations and disciplines. The templates we build are made for architects, interior architects, and landscape architects working together through Teamwork and BIMcloud.
