[Be.Smart solutions for building design]

Full Modern Power for Building Design.

Achieve Optimal Design with Holistic Digital Solutions

Tomorrow’s design technologies integrated into tailored BIM workflows for timber, light-gauge steel and precast building projects as well as highly advanced façades and MEP systems.

Complete your projects faster, at less cost, with higher quality, ensuring a smooth and responsible experience for everyone involved – from idea to handover and beyond.

End-to-end value

Getting digital construction projects right from the design stage maximizes savings and efficiency across the building lifecycle. Our solutions help you work faster, consider more options, and pass on better models, data and documentation. For functionality, sustainability and well-being.

Holistic approach

The elements of each solution work as a unified system, generally with Revit as a common environment. That lets you focus on sound decisions to unlock the full potential of good design.

Access to advances

From robots to AI and beyond, new building technologies require timely data in the right form. ARKANCE enables that. In data management, classification and exchange, we’re ahead of the industry. So, whatever you design can be fabricated, built and operated in the most effective modern way.

Quality assurance

True BIM technology is built into Be.Smart software – drawings and take-offs update automatically as a model evolves. That’s unique. And it avoids errors, ensuring your data and documentation are always accurate. Clashes, too, are found and fixed in virtual space.

Expert resources

Solutions draw on not just our own tools and custom development expertise, but also partner technologies. And in-house engineers who know the industry inside and out. And an impressive international network of expert AEC practitioners and trainer-consultants.

Industry focus

Architects and engineers should spend their time making good design decisions and passing on quality information for use in later project stages. So, we automate drafting, data entry, calculations and documentation. And we optimize your processes in collaborative workflows that leverage the specifics of wood, steel, concrete and other types of construction. Be.Smart solutions by ARKANCE create specific value for the diverse stakeholders in each building industry.

Timber construction

Metal framing

Concrete design

MEP engineering

Timber construction

BIM software, like Autodesk® Revit® and ARKANCE Be.Smart applications, permits precise, efficient and flexible 3D modelling and management of building information for traditional wood framing, heavy-timber post-and-beam structures, CLT, SIPS and more. Analysis in virtual space enables better design choices as well as clash detection and resolution with no physical cost. Data sharing and 3D visualizations help stakeholders spot errors and reconsider poor design decisions early. All of which helps to unlock wood’s benefits for ecology and human well-being.

Metal framing

BIM software, like Revit platform and ARKANCE Be.Smart applications, permits precise, efficient and flexible 3D modelling and management of building information with real-time collaboration by architects and structural and MEP engineers. For clean, highly efficient projects. Analysis in virtual space enables better design choices as well as clash detection and resolution with no physical cost. Data sharing and 3D visualizations help stakeholders spot errors and reconsider poor design decisions early. All of which helps unlock steel’s advantages of near-zero waste, recyclability/reusability, and ease of insulation.

Reinforced concrete design

BIM software, like Revit and ARKANCE Be.Smart applications, permits precise, efficient and flexible 3D modelling and management of building information. For smooth processes and durable, versatile results. Analysis in virtual space enables better design choices as well as clash detection and resolution. Data sharing and 3D visualizations help stakeholders spot errors and reconsider poor design decisions early. This avoids not just errors but also waste of materials and costly rework on site. All of which helps unlock the full potential of prefabrication, automation and digitalization to minimize concrete’s negatives and maximize its long-term benefits.

MEP system design

BIM software, like Autodesk® Revit® and ARKANCE Be.Smart applications, permits precise, efficient and flexible 3D modelling and management of building information for HVAC and other MEP systems. This enables engineers and designers to coordinate complex layouts in virtual space, avoiding costly clashes and rework on site. Data sharing and 3D visualizations ensure that architects, structural engineers and MEP specialists stay aligned, spotting issues early and improving design decisions. All of which helps deliver safe, sustainable, and efficient building systems that meet modern demands for comfort, performance and environmental responsibility.

Eliminate routine drafting

Detailing is easy with batch insertion of connectors, support elements, openings, etc. Designers (architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers) get precise drawings and data straight from the 3D model for easy sharing with other stakeholders.

Improved productivity & quality

BIM managers enjoy increased productivity and higher project quality. In large part, that’s due to great coordination between different disciplines.

Forecast costs more accurately

Cost estimators forecast project costs better to find the most profitable design solutions. They know exactly what quantities of rebar, connectors and bracing are needed. They can compare alternatives in real time and exchange information with contractors faster and more accurately.

Manage construction easily

Contractors and subcontractors more easily manage prefabrication planning and construction tasks. They save costs and resources and improve communication and collaboration. All this contributes to higher quality and better project results.

Be confident of your project results

Ultimate clients and project sponsors receive a digital prototype of their building to know early on what it will look like and cost. They can have confidence that they will live or work in a precisely designed precast structure. Built well, on time, on budget, and with a better sustainability rating.
