BricsCAD® BIM EN

BricsCAD® BIM is professional CAD software that delivers industry-specific 3D and BIM tools for the AEC sector, enhanced by powerful AI capabilities. Built on the DWG file format, it offers a familiar environment for CAD users and simplifies the transition to BIM workflows.

The platform enables users to model in 3D, import or create BIM data for collaboration, and produce accurate models ready for construction and fabrication.

BricsCAD® BIM streamlines BIM modeling by automating complex tasks such as data handling, level of detail (LOD) management, and documentation generation. It allows users to convert CAD geometry into BIM elements, build conceptual models, and generate detailed drawings and takeoffs at any project stage. The integration of BIM and plant models supports more effective stakeholder collaboration.

BricsCAD® BIM is ideal for architects, construction firms, BIM managers, BIM designers, and civil engineers looking for a flexible, accessible, and DWG-based BIM solution.
