Archicad runs natively on macOS and Apple silicon — no virtualization, no workarounds. Design, document, visualize, and collaborate on a full BIM workflow, right on your Mac.
One product. Every stage of the project.
One BIM model, every project stage
Design, document, and coordinate your building model in a single environment — from early concept through construction documentation — without exporting between disconnected tools.
Visualize as you design
Generate presentation-quality visualizations directly from your working model, so design decisions and client conversations stay grounded in the actual project.
Native performance on your Mac
Archicad runs natively on macOS and Apple silicon, delivering a responsive modeling experience without the need for emulation or virtual machines.
Built for Open BIM collaboration
Share and coordinate BIM models, drawings, and project information with structural engineers, MEP consultants, contractors, and other disciplines using open standards, interoperable file formats and connected collaboration workflows—so your Mac-based practice stays fully connected to the project.
I was looking for a program to make documentation and modeling easier, and conversion faster. Another consideration was the operating system. The software that best suited those two conditions – a BIM tool that runs on Mac – was Archicad.
