BIM technology is on the rise with many design firms moving into the 3D world of Architecture. GCD has been using 3D since the early 1990s starting with 3Dworks to Allplan by Nemectshek the leading European software then moving to Graphisoft ArchiCAD. This allows GCD to be more compatible with Revit AutoDesk and other platforms and gain greater flexibility.

3D presentations can be as simple as a block model to photo-realistic motion movies. VR vision tours are possible to get a feel for space and distances before getting into drawing production drawings and reduce the number of design changes, saves time and money in the overall project budget.

All-inclusive or a la carte

We believe that the client should have choices. Each project is unique in how it should be developed so we listen to the needs of our clients and adapt to best suit the project. The end result should be a successful project while building long-term relationships.
