Choosing the best CAD/BIM tool for the job

0 Comments

Choosing the best CAD/BIM tool for the job is an infinite endeavor...

All over the world, in all spheres and industries we find a few universal or burning questions that repeatedly comes up exactly the same, decade after decade, year after year.

I recently stumbled across a video on YouTube trying to answer one such question that keeps burning up the minds, screens and internet lines of Architects and Engineers in the AEC Industry.

"Revit vs ArchiCAD - Which is Better?!?"

This YouTube video was posted July 2018 and to date has 270+ comments (the number of views are not really important). The fact that the video fails to even attempt to answer the question was disappointing.

What is important and valuable to me in this conversation though, is the common thread in what people are saying in these comments.

fusionBIM review of Revit vs ArchiCAD - Which is Better?

No matter in what field of the AEC Industry we work or where our products or services fits into a project lifecycle. We all have to find the answer to this key question: "which software will be the best CAD/BIM tool for the job I have to do"

But is this the correct question to ask? Well let's see if we can find some answers that would make some real sense.
