INSTITUTION PARTNERSHIPS
PUT YOUR STANDARDS WHERE DESIGNERS
Actually work.
Trade associations and standards bodies produce exceptional technical knowledge. Most never makes it into the tools designers use to make specification decisions. CONTRABIM embeds your knowledge directly into Archicad workflows — reaching your audience at the moment it matters most.
THE PROBLEM
Your standards exist. Designers just can't find them when they need them.
Institutions produce the most authoritative technical content in AEC. But it lives in PDFs, spec guides, and generic training programs — separate from the BIM environment where design decisions are actually made.
"We produce excellent technical guides and CPD content. But we can't measure how many designers actually apply it on projects."
No measurable impact on specification
"Our content isn't formatted for BIM workflows. Designers who find it still have to manually apply it to their models."
Knowledge doesn't reach the tool
"We have almost no presence in the Archicad market. Our training and standards are built around Revit users."
Archicad users are an untapped audience
"We want to promote our trade and get it specified — but generic marketing doesn't reach designers at the right moment."
Reach without relevance
THE TRADE COMMUNITY
Your technical staff as the trusted expert — inside the designer's workflow.
A dedicated channel to reach active Archicad designers and builders with knowledge they're actively seeking. Not advertising. Knowledge — at the moment they need it.
Measurable influence on how your trade gets specified.
When a designer asks about moisture management, structural connections, or fire-rated assemblies — your institution's technical staff is in the room to answer. That's not a passive brand impression. It's active knowledge transfer that directly influences specification. And unlike a PDF download, you see exactly who engaged and how.
Share standards & codes
Post updates to codes, standards, and best practices directly to designers working on real projects.
Deliver CPD content
Share continuing-education content in context — when designers are actively working in your trade category.
Influence specification
Your technical staff answers real project questions. Specification influence at the highest-value moment.
