What is ALLPLAN

ALLPLAN is a BIM and CAD software suite used to design, document, and coordinate building and civil engineering projects. It supports 2D drafting and 3D model-based workflows for architects, engineers, and construction documentation teams. The product emphasizes detailed modeling, drawing production, and interoperability for multidisciplinary collaboration, including open BIM exchange formats.

pros

BIM-to-documentation workflow

ALLPLAN supports creating coordinated 3D models and generating construction documentation from the model, including drawings and schedules. It is designed for teams that need strong control over detailing and deliverables. This helps reduce rework when design changes occur because model and documentation stay linked.

Strong detailing and reinforcement

ALLPLAN includes capabilities commonly used for structural detailing, including reinforced concrete modeling and rebar detailing workflows (depending on modules and licensing). This makes it suitable for projects where engineering-level detail is required alongside architectural documentation. It can reduce reliance on separate specialist tools for certain detailing tasks.

Open BIM interoperability options

ALLPLAN supports industry exchange standards such as IFC for model exchange across different authoring and coordination tools. This is useful when project stakeholders use different platforms across design and construction. Interoperability features help teams participate in multi-vendor BIM workflows without requiring all parties to standardize on one system.

cons

Complex licensing and modules

ALLPLAN functionality varies by edition and add-on modules, which can make scoping and procurement more complex. Organizations may need careful license planning to ensure each discipline has the required capabilities. This can also complicate cost comparisons across BIM/CAD suites.

Learning curve for new users

Teams moving from general-purpose CAD or other BIM authoring tools often face a non-trivial onboarding period. The interface, modeling approach, and documentation conventions can require training to use efficiently. Productivity may dip during migration and template/standard setup.

Ecosystem varies by region

Availability of local content libraries, third-party integrations, and experienced talent can be uneven depending on country and market segment. This can affect implementation speed and the ease of hiring experienced users. Some firms may need to invest more in internal standards and custom content.
