Edificius review
A broad Windows BIM package for design, documentation, rendering and takeoffs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Edificius is desktop BIM software from ACCA software S.p.A. for architects, engineers, surveyors and other AEC professionals. Its scope covers 2D and 3D architectural modeling with parametric objects, automatic floor plans, elevations, sections and construction drawings, plus landscape, terrain and MEP modeling. It also combines design with rendering, real-time visualization, virtual reality, cost estimates and online BIM model sharing, making it suited to teams that want authoring and downstream project documentation in one Windows application.
According to the published pricing details, Edificius is a paid product with a listed starting price of €799 per year. The published subscription options describe monthly, annual and longer-term billing, while the named Edificius plan highlights BIM architectural design, rendering and visualization, and construction documentation. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Teams evaluating the product should therefore assess the annual commitment against their need for integrated documentation, visualization and quantity workflows.
Its ecosystem fit is centered on common AEC exchange and visualization workflows. Edificius supports IFC import and export, including IFC 2x3, and lists compatibility with Revit, SketchUp, Blender, Rhino/Grasshopper, usBIM, DWG/DXF and IFC. Point-cloud and scan-to-BIM workflows extend its usefulness for existing-condition projects, while online model viewing and sharing support collaboration. Windows-based BIM teams needing rendering, construction documents and takeoffs should find the feature mix relevant; teams requiring another operating system should choose a different platform.
