Overview

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it," Alan Kay.

Graphisoft is the pioneer and leader in developing Virtual BuildingTM solutions. It is widely acknowledged as the world's #1 supplier of model-based software and services for the building industry. Our clients are at the forefront of the industry - delivering projects that are better designed, more predictable to construct and less expensive to operate. Graphisoft® is ranked today among the largest Architecture/Engineering/Construction CAD software companies in the world on PC and Macintosh.

In its 24-year history, Graphisoft has revolutionized architectural design and communications with its Virtual BuildingTM concept - introducing many innovations that are now considered essential to Computer Aided Design (*CAD), including object-based 3 Dimensional modeling, building simulation and collaborative architecture. ArchiCAD®, Graphisoft's flagship product, is an object-oriented and fully integrated 2D/3D CAD solution for architecture and the building industry. Available on the current Windows and Macintosh operating systems, it is sold in 80 countries and in 22 language versions through its independent distributor partners and 5 wholly-owned subsidiaries. Graphisoft's products are used by over 100,000 design professionals and builders worldwide, who have completed over a million buildings. The company launched the world's first 5D virtual construction solution that addresses the multi-billion dollar building construction sector.

The multinational company employs close to 300 people in its Budapest headquarters with 6 offices worldwide and one representative office in Singapore. One-third of the staff are architects to ensure it is the most user-friendly design solution in the world. Graphisoft lists its shares on the Budapest (GRAPHI) Stock Exchange.

The firm's mission is to take billions of dollars per year out of the building construction process by providing software platforms based upon open standards so that all the constituents in the process can effectively create data and move them efficiently - without recreation. Constant recreation of the same data is costly, slow - and almost always introduces mistakes. Graphisoft's goal is to make all this dramatically easier. Instead of data ‘recreation', data ‘enrichment' is the mantra for Graphisoft solutions.

Customer satisfaction is the most important factor in the company's success. Graphisoft strives to provide customers with solutions to their business problems that they could not even dream about. In today's increasingly competitive environment, innovation and rapid delivery are a must.

Speed of innovation and delivery are key elements in strengthening our company's position in the market. Graphisoft is a company driven by passionate people. It takes pride in everything that is done for the customer, partner and the widest community of architects. Graphisoft operates to the highest ethical standards with fellow employees and with external partner and supplier community.
