Over the past 15 years I’ve subscribed to three other template systems but CONTRABIM 'stuck the landing' for fit and feel. The learning content has become our in-house training resource, freeing up time and helping us be more productive.

The ContraBIM template reflects a deep understanding of construction and industry standards. Because it is built around a logical framework we’ve been able to jump right in and focus on design, knowing the information we need will be organized in a way that works

Before discovering ContraBIM, working in ArchiCAD often felt chaotic due to the lack of a clear process for managing both design and project workflows. However, the ContraBIM method has brought structure and efficiency, streamlining my approach and allowing me to work more effectively. This system ensures smoother workflows, resulting in consistent, high-quality outcomes that have greatly benefited my clients.

Looking back 6 years since John & I started regularly discussing all things templates & workflows for Archicad, a few things stand out.
For me as a designer, John's unique perspective & deep insight in construction & quantification within Archicad was enlightening early on.
The CONTRABIM courses & community, built on his serving character and exceptional knowledge of Archicad, really improves the day-to-day work for his members, including me.

I wanted to share my experience prior to making the CB purchase. To be honest, I was totally on the fence prior to seeing how fleshed out this template was. I mean, I'm blown away by how thorough and comprehensive it is. To be frank, before purchasing, I was thinking "well, it's a chunk of change, but it's probably worth it even if it's not totally fleshed out. I hope it's worth the purchase." Then AFTER purchasing and going through the template, I would have paid triple. What I've saved myself in non-billable time and my clients in billable time setting things up is just extraordinary.

I am a big fan of CONTRABIM and what you have created. In a region that is dominated by Revit, I chose Archicad for my business in part to the support that you and your team provide (in addition to it being a superior tool). Thanks for all you do and I’m really looking forward to how CONTRABIM 2.0 will unfold and how it will make the workflow even more efficient and standardized between projects.

AND TRAINER JOHN HALLGARTH


When I first started learning Archicad BIM software over 15 years ago, there were very few training resources available, and certainly no advanced training courses that went beyond the basics. There were also very few resources available for those doing Design-Build type projects, where a large focus was on the coordination and construction of design. That is why, after years of frustration, I set out to build an Archicad BIM template and training program that would help users similar to myself, take advantage of the full potential behind this powerful BIM tool. Since then, we’ve helped over a 1,000 users through structured training programs, BIM templates, and community training and built an audience on Youtube of over 18,000 subscribers. I’m looking forward to working with you!
