Great design starts with communication

All communication is handled right inside the project for fast, informed decision-making. Learn more.
BIMx PRO functions and integrated team messaging
Bridge the gap between the design studio, the client’s office, and the construction site with award-winning BIMx. Use your mobile device to send messages in the model context directly to Archicad and resolve design or construction issues without having to return to the office. Joining BIMcloud from BIMx enables PRO features — explore Teamwork projects regardless of 3D model size, print, and save Favorite views for custom presentations.
Advanced Teamworking
As projects get bigger, so do the teams working on them. Thanks to the Reservation Assistant and Intelligent Project Libraries, all team members will benefit from advanced permission control when working on their own assigned project areas without interfering with others.
Works fast for teams around the corner or around the globe
Pick up the pace on large project files thanks to multi-site optimization with BIMcloud Delta Cache technology.
Share all project files
Sharing files is easy too — Our multi-disciplinary model hub keeps everyone coordinated by publishing and uploading models, drawings, and any other project files directly to BIMcloud.
Join Teamwork from your application
The BIMcloud API makes it easy to access hosted files and project information — manage, upload, and download files directly from other software applications.
