Even after more than two decades of proven success, openBIM is still seen by many as an ideal rather than a standard reality. In this webinar, dRofus and Graphisoft—two leading voices from the Nemetschek Group—offer distinct perspectives on what’s working, what’s not, and where the industry must go next to unlock the full potential of open workflows.Through real-world insights, dRofus will explore the core challenges—fragmented workflows, undefined data structures, and a lack of precise owner requirements, and how these barriers hinder project success and discuss actionable solutions, including empowering owners to define structured data upfront and leveraging tools to align stakeholders. Following this, Graphisoft will shift the lens to the design side—exploring how Archicad users are actively delivering high-performing projects with openBIM at the core. Through practical examples and selected case studies, we’ll showcase how intuitive, model-based design can thrive alongside IFC-based collaboration, empowering architects to work fluidly across tools and teams. Together, these presentations will offer a candid look at the current state of openBIM and inspire actionable steps toward more open, efficient, and resilient project delivery.
