“ArchiCAD has enabled me to push myself as a designer”

Jim Fogarty has deliberately kept his landscape design business in Melbourne small, so he can focus on an important question: What makes a great garden? Jim specialises in highly personal and detailed designs, and his unique signature is evident in the award winning gardens of private residences and commercial projects around Australia and, increasingly, overseas.

Jim Fogarty Design

Jim Fogarty Design provides a landscape design and consultancy service for residential and commercial clients, both in Australia and overseas. Jim’s commissioned work ranges from small outdoor rooms to large estates and commercial projects. His attention to detail combined with his extensive knowledge of a wide range of plants has established Jim as one of Australia’s top Landscape & Garden Designers.

Case Study Overview

ArchiCAD does more than just assist Jim in developing his designs to a higher calibre – it also helps him expand his horizons. “I’m able to better communicate my designs to clients and contractors. With 3D, clients can ‘walk through’ their gardens, and contractors can more easily grasp details and challenges. ArchiCAD’s ability to vividly demonstrate a true to life model means that, whenever I work internationally, language is no longer a barrier.”  “ArchiCAD’s ability to let you look at a model and manipulate the design is brilliant,” says Jim. “Design is an ever changing learning curve for me, so the technology side of design is something I value greatly. With ArchiCAD I now do all my own design and drafting, which is a huge benefit compared with previous years when I used older technology and had three full-time and three part-time staff.”
