Graphisoft Newsletter May 2011

Dear Subscriber

What a busy time it's been for all and what an amazing progress we have seen in our industry with Building Information Modeling (BIM). We have completed our tour of Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne for the MESH BuildingSMART conference and it was a great success. We are extremely proud that GRAPHISOFT was referred to as the leader in BIM software due to the support of open collaboration between all disciplines. The constant message with MESH was to get on board with BIM so we're extra proud of all of you for being the leaders in this adoption!
Take a look at our website as new case studies have been added and our aim is to continue to build on this library of success stories across the ArchiCAD community. We want to show the Industry the fabulous stories of BIM adoption to continue the message from MESH loud and clear to get the rest of the 2D lovers onboard and show them it's worth all the effort and change!
We are always happy to hear feedback on the content of this newsletter so please send your comments to info@graphisoft.com.au .
