Pros

“There is a reason why Revit dominates the US market and will continue to do so if they do not make some drastic changes.”

Jared H.

Owner

“this software is very good thanks to its rendering, and with it you don't have to draw the internal elements of a house yourself.”

lionel z.

CEO

“Most robust 3D CAD/ BIM software available.”

Jared H.

Owner

Pros

“Our overall experience has been great, the integrated background removal tool for the product schedule has been a nice touch to create a clean display for clients and our team.”

Drake P.

Head of Design

“I also love the URL import tool; it makes it incredibly easy to bring in furniture and decor directly from the internet while automatically picking up the key details I need. Since I curate a collection of non-toxic, sustainable, and wellness-focused products, having everything stored and specified in one place feels effortless.”

Eugenia A.

Interior Designer Founder

“It keeps everything organized, streamlines communication with vendors, and reduces errors during purchasing. While it lacks client-onboarding tools like contracts and forms, its project management and purchasing workflow are efficient and reliable, making it an essential part of my daily operations.”

Benjo H.

Interior Designer - Owner

Cons

“Struggles with larger scale work, some of the functions are non-intuitive and occasionally struggles to find a reason why elements have disappeared”

Simon M.

Architectural assistant

“Probably my biggest annoyance isn't with the software itself at this point, more with the fact that I feel sometimes we don't use the software to it's full capacity, often because we aren't aware of a feature / ability it has until someone stumbles upon it.”

Ann M.

Drafter

“The biggest con is that most engineering firms use Revit, so the collaborative element with outside firms is limited.”

Brian W.

Architect

Cons

“I am about to switch to a new Programa account (as we have two companies now), but there is no way for me to share the existing projects I have with the new Programa account, meaning I have to manage two accounts for a while.”

Heather C.

Lead Designer and Business Manager

“when in the schedule, it takes a while to load and have to refresh as it wont fully load all items.”

Melissa L.

Founder, Lead Interior Designer

“For a whole house, the volume of items slows down navigation too much to place them all in one schedule. ”

Melissa N.
