Great architecture starts with collaboration
BIMcloud – work hybrid
A solid platform for multidisciplinary design collaboration makes BIMcloud the tool architects and engineers can count on. The latest innovations focus on security and data synchronization.
BIMcloud SaaS
BIMcloud SaaS closes the gap between the home, office, construction site, and project stakeholders — regardless of location or software used.
New Multi-Factor Authentication
Keep your BIM project data safe at all times! BIMcloud SaaS delivers multi-factor authentication and a secure password mandate option to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and strengthen the overall protection of sensitive project data, intellectual property, and business operations. Coming soon!
Work Hybrid
The global pandemic compelled architectural design practices to change the way they work almost overnight — and working from anywhere created an instant need for online collaboration and remote access to office infrastructure.
We're using the Archicad Teamwork function. It's terrific to have everyone on the same platform and in the same environment.

Great design starts with communication
BIMcloud is your go-to project communication platform — discuss design intent and questions with team members using real-time messaging displayed in the project context, making it easier to understand the information. 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.
Security
BIMcloud keeps your data safe with multi-level backups and a preemptive monitoring and warning system. And security is guaranteed even when collaborating over the internet.
We set up our BIM platform to help us manage and support our internal and external collaboration tasks
