Instead of going through the process of developing software, which is costly and long, Cadvisual had the opinion that every good idea one has, somebody else has had before. Therefore, it was decided to import ready made, top of the bill or highly innovative, software systems and try and make them talk to one another in an object oriented and intelligent manner. The first product, EliteCAD Architecture, led to a company called DDS and Bjorn Stangeland. He gave a day long, lecture on the benefits of IFC, BIM and the IAI in general. As this immediately solved the communication problem, and gave the company access to many more innovative companies such as Jotne, Powel, Nosyko, Granlund and Octaga, the Cadvisual Group has grown exponentally ever since. The Cadvisual Group has been instrumental in the start up of the Benelux chapter of buildingSMART and promoting IFC as the means of data communication in the building industry in the 21st century. The company, in the Benelux market, is now regarded as the major force and market leader in offering solutions and services for systems and process integration for the AEC industry.
The Cadvisual Group conception is clear that the focus of the services and products must be on innovation of the AEC industry and contribute to the value chain of process integration.
