Kitchen Design Software from ArtiCAD
|
Kitchen design is challenging and complex. Not only does it demand enormous attention to detail in terms of layout, placement of kitchen cabinets and appliances, storage options and lighting but it must also be able to translate — and satisfy — the increasingly sophisticated and fashion-led demands of today’s consumers.
ArtiCAD-Pro is a CAD software program that makes kitchen design fast, easy and accurate. At the same time, it supports and encourages kitchen designers to use all their skills and creative flair to create stunning representations of the planned room. Because it’s so easy and so fast, designers are able to create and amend kitchen designs in front of clients — with confidence — engaging directly with them and obtaining their buy-in. It’s a powerful combination which makes it faster and easier for you to sell your kitchen designs.
ArtiCAD-Pro has been developed specifically for kitchen designers in conjunction with bedroom and bathroom designers over a period of more than fifteen years:
Fast and easy to learn — a typical kitchen with working plans, elevations, multiple 3D perspectives, photorealistic impressions, detailed parts lists and costings can be produced in just ten minutes.
Allows kitchen designers to make changes — instantaneously — in front of the customer and present revised designs and plans.
Produces millimetre-accurate kitchen plans at the touch of a button which can be shared with suppliers, manufacturers, installers and contractors to avoid mistakes and delay on site.
Includes extensive manufacturer-specific and generic catalogues of kitchen abinets, doors, worktops, accessories, flooring and tiling — all of which can be simply dragged & dropped into the design.
Every copy of ArtiCAD-Pro comes provided with comprehensive training, plus a 12 month Support Plan and assistance from our client care team.
Easy to integrate with other software packages and processes to provide a seamless operation. |

For us, ArtiCAD has dramatically reduced the aggravation of customers thinking they’ve bought something which they haven’t.” — Ken Whyte, Tecaz |
