BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sep 21, 2020 – GRAPHISOFT, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solution for architecture, announced today that SIMBIM, its distributor in Spain, has signed agreements with the Collegi d’Aparelladors, Arquitectes Tècnics i Enginyers d’Edificació de Barcelona (CAATEEB), designed to benefit BIM professionals in Spain in their use of Archicad.
Located in Barcelona, CAATEEB is Spain’s largest association of surveyors, technical architects, and building engineers, and a leading authority on building engineering in the country. According to the agreement, GRAPHISOFT distributor and exclusive training center SIMBIM will provide official training and BIM manager certification programs based on Archicad.
