MUNICH, November 22, 2022 - Archicad is Architects' Darling again this year! This was determined by Heinze Market Research in a survey of almost 2,000 architects and planners. The BIM planning software Archicad was once again chosen as the 2022 gold award winner in the "Architects' Software" category. Graphisoft thus receives the coveted Brand Award for the third time in a row.

Nine software solutions were put to the vote. They were evaluated by the respondents in five different criteria: Flexibility, Usability, Clarity, Efficiency and Compatibility of the software. Archicad was voted the best software in each criterion.

Great importance has always been attached to these criteria in the development of the BIM planning software Archicad. They have been part of the program DNA since the first Archicad version appeared in 1984. The software is easy to learn, flexible and designed so that all users can work efficiently with it.

"We are happy about the 'Darling', but above all as a further incentive for us. Especially in the current difficult times, more efficiency, digitalization and BIM are essential for the success of architectural firms. The fact that our customers and users see themselves at an advantage with Archicad gives us further positive impetus," says Eberhard Stegner, Managing Director of Graphisoft Germany, about winning the award.

The survey conducted by Heinze market research also showed that Archicad has the highest level of awareness in the field of architectural software among the participants. In addition to the new Architects' Darling Archicad, ComputerWorks, AVAPlan, Projekt Pro, Bechmann, Cosoba, G&W, Enscape and Xeometric also took part in the survey of almost 2,000 architects and planners. This is the third time Archicad has been able to secure the coveted Brand Award, which is presented every two years, after 2018 and 2020.

About Graphisoft and Archicad

Graphisoft launched Archicad, the first model-based design software - what is now considered BIM - in 1984. Working with Archicad is particularly intuitive thanks to its user-friendly interface and allows users to work with a central model from which all drawings and calculations are derived live. The company also leads the industry with innovative solutions such as BIMcloud®, which enables simultaneous collaboration between all partners.
