Archeform is not a side project by someone who read about construction. It exists because a practice needed it, and every feature in it was demanded by a real job.
I am Aleš Zvěřina, a chartered engineer in Prague — ČKAIT 0401711. I run a small practice, and like a lot of small practices I model in SketchUp because it is fast and it does not fight me.
What SketchUp would not do was the paperwork. The model was finished and then the plans and sections got drawn a second time by hand, and every change had to be made twice. The IFC an authority or a consultant asked for came out as a mesh with a name on it.
The obvious answer was to buy a full BIM suite. I priced one, looked at the retraining, and started writing walls instead.
How it gets built
Every feature is used on a live project before it ships. That is not a slogan about quality — it is how the decisions get made. Mitres that stay mitred, openings that survive a stretched wall, hatching that is still legible after printing at 1:100: all of those exist because the alternative cost me an evening.
It also means the awkward parts are documented rather than hidden. The docs say where spiral stairs are missing and where a joint is baked instead of live, because finding that out at eleven at night is worse than reading it in advance.
The company
Archeform s.r.o. is a Czech company in Prague. It sells Archeform BIM and it is where two further tools are being built — Archeform Draft, an assistant for producing DXF drawings, and Archeform Office, an information system for small practices and builders.
No investors, no roadmap written by someone who has never dimensioned a stair.
