▸ SECT · 07 · DOCUMENTATION

Before you decide.

Common questions, answered directly. No marketing fluff.

001I don't use Archicad yet.

Start with a free 30-day trial. We'll send you a getting-started guide and walk you through the workflow before you commit.

002Templates never work for me.

CB2.0 isn't a fixed template — it's a system designed to adapt to your projects and firm standards. CONTRABIM Fonts deploys your typography system-wide in under 2 minutes.

003I don't have time.

You're already losing time to a system that isn't working. CB2.0 reduces setup drag — you don't need to configure everything on day one.

004This seems too complex.

The system is built for step-by-step adoption. Start with one trade, one workflow. The structure is there when you're ready for more.

005I'm a small firm.

Built specifically for small and mid-sized teams trying to move faster with fewer people. The community means you're not figuring it out alone.

006How is this different from Graphisoft training?

Graphisoft teaches the software. CONTRABIM teaches the system — built on twenty years of construction-side coordination.
