I would recommend this software to other architecture and interior design firms.

As an Architect + Planner + Interior Architect & Designer. Having the ‘Verticle Market’ solutions available like Vectorworks ‘Architect’ & ‘Designer’ is so very valuable.

When we factor in money, easy answer VectorWorks. We are a full BIM FIRM and VECTORWORKS does everything we need.

And the built in rendering tools are awesome as well, the result is more than enough to be used for project presentation.

We are finding now that some of our consultants are now using the software therefore the sharing of files is extremely easy. BUT the exporting of files to AutoCad are great too.

This is a pain as when it is needed across the office the dongle has to be physically passed over. We would prefer an online based license moving system.

Because of the limited use of this program in some markets, collaborating with others can be difficult.

It's safe to say VectorWorks is at the top of their game when it comes to architectural design.

And for BIM, it is hard to justify not using the industry standard software. So where is the edge for Vectorworks.

We take advantage of the software’s BIM capabilities to generate elevations, schedules, and smart tags. This program is visually appealing and easy to navigate.

BIM capabilities, ease of learning, ease of use, ease of rendering, Smart tools, exceptional customer service, stability and speed of work.

We use this software for early concept design as it simple and easy to use and produces beautiful concept plans and elevations.

We love this software for early concept design. The squiggly line affect means we can produce production quality drawings with ease that do not scare clients in the way a technical drawing would.

Has had issues with iOS updates in the past and time has been wasted waiting for patches. Very occasionally crashes for bizarre reasons.

The only downside of Vectorworks is that it won't work well when you need to collaborate with those who don't use it.

Easy to setup and create drawings. The tools are intuitive.

It is a bit complex to setup design layers, and also troublesome to sort the classes.

The cost of the program makes it difficult to acquire it.

Complicated and feature-rich, requires a level of training and skill to properly utilize it to its potential. Difficult transition from AutoCAD.

The ease of use, the customer support from the software company, and the ease of training.

Solid set of features for a variety of use cases. Fairly easy to use, and offers lots of automated features that help speed up drafting tasks.

Vector works allow for collaboration with other CAD software, like REVIT ARCHITECTURE, its a perfect BIM tool.

The transition has been a smooth and good experience so far.

There was no new versions since I use it 2 years from now.

In general I have enjoyed the use of this software, I have become an active associate and I have recommended it to other colleagues, providing advice and implementation courses.

The program has allowed me to keep the inventory of the company very organized and the reports it offers have allowed the company to maintain a better control of the costs and profits of a project.

Because is a fantástic aplication for travel very complete and I love it.

Excellent support service. Simplifies and streamlines business processes.

Billing processes are much more accurate. Integration with other software solutions already existing in our company through API is powerful (in real time) and simple.

Very useful tool, totally worth the investment.

The new version does allow working on MAC browsers and that is a very favorable point.

In my daily job, I constantly draw up budgets, because it's important to know the costs of buying and selling of the services we provide.

There is a world of materials out there a BrickControl helps locate the one's I want.

Brickcontrol is the best software, it helps you to have total control of all the tasks of construction work in a very simple way.

Los informes de análisis de costes y previsiones de pagos, no se puede modificar a mano.

Very easy way to create or import budgets (Estimates). The way to put the progrees tracking too.

BrickControl - An easy to use method of tracking construction expenses.

I love that the software integrates all the information of my company and allows me have more efficient activities.

I love how easily my team was able to track our construction expenses using the intuitive BrickControl platform.

Very easy to keep track of expenses, materials and bills.

Efficient integration of Profiles in a Project.

We believe that BrickControl is a good ally for the growth of our company. I recommend it to all those who want to take good control of their projects.

The design of the interface is visually obsolete, but the new version solves this problem.

The information whit which acount, makes so easy to calculate the activities.
