The Archicad 27 Solution

1. Modeling: The team used Archicad 27’s new Curtain Wall tool to map the angled facade in 6 hours—a task that previously took 3 days.

3. Rendering: The Integrated Visualizer produced client-ready marketing images every week without outsourcing, saving the firm €15,000 in rendering services.
4. Result: The project completed design development 20% faster than estimated, with 90% fewer clash reports compared to their previous Archicad 26 workflow.
