All DevicesAccuracy is essential in architecture and construction. For this reason, architects and designers are looking for software programs that provide them with high accuracy. Modern construction applications should also support the collaboration of all those involved in projects, and must be easy to use.

Only such applications will really help simplify and streamline work. The ability to look anywhere, even outside the office, into construction plans and other documentation, in addition to 3D, is now their indispensable benefit.

There are a number of software solutions for architects and designers, and choosing from them may not be easy for companies and construction professionals in normal operation. Here is a selection of five applications that are worth trying.

PlanRadar
The great benefit of this application is the connection of all participants in the construction process in real time, from architects, through designers, engineers, construction managers, general contractors to investors. Everyone can work with current construction documentation, such as floor plans, views and various sections, in which they also see the changes made, which are color-coded. With their device, users have access only to the data that has been made available to them.
An interesting feature is the so-called requirements, which are immediately recorded in the plan. A request, which can be, for example, the correction of a certain defect, can be entered as a task to the responsible person with the touch of a finger and additional information can be added to the task. There is also the possibility of creating reports and PlanRadar has newly added a BIM module that can be used to work with 3D models.

BIMx
BIMx is a mobile extension of Archicad software primarily intended for architects, designers and engineers. They can view plans in 2D and 3D as well as in volume models. The application is a useful helper in presentations for investors and clients, as it allows quick views, visualization of objects from a bird's eye view or exploring interiors.

AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a well-known software solution for architects. It offers a mobile approach that allows flexible editing of documents and plans outside the office. Drawing tools can be used, with which architects and designers can revise floor plan previews. In the application it is possible to print the documentation, work with DWG files and use the navigation in the plan via the GPS module.

FormIt
For architects and designers who need to capture their spontaneous ideas and not enough pencil and paper, Autodesk FormIt is interesting, which combines the information entered by the architect with its own database. This makes it easier to create different forms, adaptations, but also light studies or quick tests of materials and surfaces can be created. This application also supports BIM, so there is the ability to browse 3D models, make changes in an instant and share everything with colleagues.

SketchUP
SketchUP is an interesting solution for a wide group of users. It can be used not only by architects, but also by lay people. The essence of this application is the offer of products from other manufacturers, which can be used very well in terms of navigation, camera positioning, zooming and the right perspective. It is a very simple solution that allows you to display three-dimensional objects outside the office.
