Join us in celebrating 30 YEARS OF INNOVATION
Explore this special page to join us in marking a major milestone and looking ahead to the future!
For 30 years now we've been driving innovation
in architecture, engineering, and construction with advances in computer-aided design and building information management. As specialists in BIM and digital construction, we build on the insights of leading practitioners, our clients, to benefit the AEC community.
Visionary from the start
AGACAD has always been Ahead of it's time
From its early days pioneering AutoCAD, to the promotion of 3D design, to Building Information Modeling (BIM) expertise and the development of common BIM standards.
We've trained innumerable professionals, advised on thousands of projects, and built the world's biggest selection of Autodesk® Revit® expert tools.
Worldwide expansion
Proudly based in Lithuania – a dynamic and tech-savvy EU economy and international IT-service hub – we're excited by our current global growth.
Over 13 000 clients in 130 countries now trust in our vision, advice and solutions for digital construction, including top design firms like AECOM, ARUP, Atkins, ATP Architects & Engineers, Cannon Design COWI, Foster & Partners, Henn Architekten, HDR Architecture, GRONTMIJ, Ramboll Architecture & Planning, KEO International, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Stantec, Woods Bagot, and others.
TODAY'S REALITY:Digitalization
The AEC industry today has to handle huge amounts of data. BIM has enabled 3D, 4D, and 5D work. Now design is adding 6D and 7D while construction and management are shifting to Virtual and/or Augmented Reality. Building projects need real computing power
Enter AGACAD, with its worldwide expertise in BIM system implementation, project-specific consulting, and specialized productivity software for managing the full building lifecycle.
AGACAD implements solutions for 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, and 7D BIM. They're fully tested and integrated. And they're based on the insights and wish-lists of the most advanced practitioners, so industry best-practices are built-in.

Tomorrow's vision
AGACAD's vision is, together with our clients, to contribute to the further evolution of the AEC industry. Not just to deliver tomorrow's AEC, but to help create it.
Very soon construction will be based not on drawings, but on information.
At building sites, 3D information will be used rather than plans, with augmented and/or virtual reality tools putting exact data in each exact place. And on-site 3D printing technologies are also rapidly advancing.
The key will be building information "management" rather than modeling.
AEC professionals will speak not about models, but about rapid exchanges of information, precise amounts of data, and the specific information needs at a given time.
Already now at AGACAD we have solutions for outputting from a BIM model directly to CNC machines, any cloud, project management software, cost estimation software, and even ERP. Today it's possible to assemble all the information needed to 3D-print a building and send it somewhere, say to Mars, for actual output.
Our current R&D focus is "∞D BIM" and buildings with Artificial Intelligence – an unavoidable part of the AEC future. CEO Donatas Aksomitas has begun examining key related issues for effective BIM data management and exchange on his new blog BIMAXON
