Strengthening the proposal foundation for diverse operations through BIM deployment.
An architect from the Ito Toyo Office talks about the power of BIM (Archicad). Completing 150 drawings alone and accelerating client consensus through VR.
We would like to introduce the Archicad implementation case of "Maeda Kentaro Architectural Design Office," which is based in Tokyo and Niigata and handles a wide range of projects from residential buildings to public architecture such as train stations and schools. The representative, Mr. Maeda, was previously engaged in complex and famous architectural projects at Ito Toyo Architectural Design Office. After becoming independent, he introduced Archicad to foster early development of young staff and improve productivity. Since the implementation, the staff has achieved an astonishing efficiency that was impossible with conventional CAD, completing 150 detailed design drawings in just six months with one staff member. ■ Three Benefits of BIM Ensuring Consistency: By extracting drawings from a 3D model, discrepancies between plans and elevations are resolved, eliminating rework. Enhancing Proposal Power: Utilizing VR allows clients to intuitively understand kitchen sizes and sunlight, facilitating smoother consensus building. Stabilizing Management: Efficiently managing public projects (passive) and private projects (active) with BIM to achieve strategic management. What are the latest design methods of Mr. Maeda, who states that "BIM is an indispensable presence like air conditioning," looking ahead to the use of AI? *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "National Roadshow," which has been held at various venues across Japan, will be transformed into an "online format." In this online seminar, we will organize and clearly explain the overview of the BIM drawing review system, the concepts behind the review, and the key points that should be understood in practice, providing the foundational knowledge necessary for confirmation application work. We will also address questions such as "What should I prepare first?" and "To what level should I respond with BIM?" from a practical perspective. Please join us as we take the first step towards confirmation applications utilizing BIM and as a platform for organizing information right after the system starts. Since it will be held online, you can participate from anywhere in the country.

In conjunction with the launch of Bluebeam sales, we will be conducting the "Bluebeam Kickoff Campaign" until June 20th.
We are pleased to announce the "Bluebeam Kickoff Campaign" in conjunction with the launch of Bluebeam, which will run until June 20. "Bluebeam" is a PDF solution for the architecture industry that enhances BIM and drawing-based workflows through integration with Archicad. It features functionalities that streamline drawing reviews, quantity takeoffs, markups, and team collaboration, particularly excelling in improving productivity in communication centered around drawings. By combining it with Archicad, it integrates model information and drawing information, facilitating smoother collaboration among stakeholders during the design and construction phases. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to further utilize architectural data and enhance productivity. Please feel free to contact us for details about the campaign, including pricing.
