ARC5D: The Estimating Solution for ARCHICAD

As seen on:

ARC5D is the first and only integrated ARCHICAD estimating solution that enables users to easily derive quantity take-offs and cost estimates throughout the project lifecycle.

With ARC5D you'll be able to set up your ARCHICAD model to  produce target budgets in early conceptual design, then accurately track components and building materials as the model develops into detailed construction drawings.

ARC5D is based on the ground-breaking work of John Hallgarth (ContraBIM and 3DCONSTRUCTOR) and the Best Practices methodology and MasterTemplate framework created by internationally recognized ARCHICAD educator Eric Bobrow. It provides a practical, easy to implement, flexible and comprehensive approach to an area that has been a tantalizing dream yet an extremely challenging puzzle for users.

If you've ever wanted to get detailed quantity take-offs and cost estimates for your ARCHICAD models, now you can do this yourself! In the Quantities and Cost Estimating Course, you'll learn the key principles as well as the interlinked tools and step by step methods that make this possible, and even fun, to implement.

The ARC5D course was presented as a series of 7 weekly webcasts during August and September 2019. Recordings of the sessions are posted in the member area for convenient permanent reference.
