All software listed is suitable for commercial AEC use, with options for annual, multi-year, and volume licensing.
Autodesk AEC Software
Autodesk delivers BIM-driven AEC workflows that reduce coordination risk, improve design accuracy, and enable constructible outcomes from concept through construction and handover.
Best for: Architects, structural and civil consulting engineers, BIM managers, and multidisciplinary firms delivering coordinated, constructible AEC projects.
Core Autodesk AEC Products
AutoCAD
Reliable 2D drafting and documentation for architectural, structural, and civil teams, solving the need for precise detailing, standardised drawings, and universally compatible deliverables.
Revit
Multidisciplinary BIM authoring that enables architects, structural, and MEP engineers to design within a single coordinated model, reducing clashes and maintaining data consistency across disciplines.
Civil 3D
Dynamic civil infrastructure design for roads, earthworks, grading, and utilities, solving complex geometry changes through data-driven models that update automatically as designs evolve.
BIM Collaborate / BIM Collaborate Pro
Cloud-based model coordination and design collaboration that eliminates file version conflicts, enables real-time issue tracking, and supports distributed project teams.
Prokon Software
Prokon is a structural engineering analysis and design software suite supporting, but not limited to, reinforced concrete, structural steel, composite, timber and masonry design in accordance with international and regional design codes.
Best for: Structural engineers and consulting firms focused on analysis and design of structural elements.
IDEA StatiCa Software
IDEA StatiCa is specialised software for the code-based verification and optimisation of steel connections of any complexity, the design of standard and compound steel members, and the analysis and design of concrete elements such as shear walls and concrete.
Best for: Engineers requiring accurate connection design, verification, and collaboration with BIM and analysis models.
Lumion Software
Lumion is a real-time 3D visualisation platform that enables architects and designers to create high-quality renders, animations, and walkthroughs directly from their CAD and BIM models.
Best for: Architectural visualisation, client presentations, and design reviews.
Chaos (Enscape & V-Ray)
Chaos delivers professional rendering and visualisation tools used across architecture and design.
- Enscape enables real-time rendering and immersive design reviews directly within Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and Archicad.
- V-Ray provides photorealistic rendering for advanced visualisation and marketing-grade output.
Best for: Design teams needing real-time feedback or high-end visual realism.
These solutions are commonly used by:
- Architectural practices
- Structural and civil engineering consultancies
- BIM and digital construction teams
- Infrastructure and industrial design firms
- Contractors and design-build organisations
