Online ROI Calculator Offers Architects a Window Into ArchiCAD’s Commercial Advantage

Graphisoft releases their online Return-on-Investment calculator that allows the architect to explore the commercial advantages of implementing ArchiCAD within their practise.

Budapest June 13, 2005: Graphisoft has launched its online Return-on-Investment (ROI) calculator, designed to allow architects to assess how effective ArchiCAD^® 3D modeling could be to their bottom line once implemented.

The architect can input data specific to their practise, allowing the ROI calculator to consider their variables and build an accurate picture of the expected financial benefits, time savings and profitability which can be achieved by integrating ArchiCAD into their workflow and design process. "We're proud to say that since we chose ArchiCAD as our design, documentation, and presentation solution, the Orcutt/Winslow Partnership has experienced steady growth and an increase in design and documentation quality," explains Russ Sanders. "We are producing a higher quality of work with fewer staff, and ArchiCAD plays a big part in this trend." Such competitive benefits are being enjoyed by over 100,000 users globally.

The backbone to the calculation engine is data gathered through a global survey, which provides evidence of the critical benefits of using ArchiCAD. The respondents’ data confirms productivity gains, more time to focus on design and increased profitability. These firms, which have fully embraced ArchiCAD into their processes, reveal that ArchiCAD has delivered an average profit contribution of 12%!

"Changing to ArchiCAD is the best business decision I've made," confirms Catherine Roha, AIA, U.S. "It guarantees that I will remain productive and effective for years to come."

Graphisoft invites architects to assess their potential competitiveness and profitability in relation to global ROI trends when using ArchiCAD.
