Allplan is a Munich-headquartered European provider of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software serving architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals across the design-to-build workflow. The company markets itself as an "intelligent BIM platform," and its customer base spans flagship infrastructure and building projects, with named enterprise users including Deutsche Bahn, AFRY, Wayss & Freytag, WTM Engineers, Schmidt Plöcker Architekten, SBP, Krebs & Kiefer, Witteveen+Bos, Autobahn SW, Emch-Berger, Vollack, ASH, Pieper Power, and DUW. Allplan reports 240,000+ users across 23 international locations and a workforce of 700+ employees. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the publicly-listed Nemetschek Group (MDAX/TecDAX: NEM), and its operational network spans wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States (Design Data Corp., Lincoln, Nebraska), and Singapore (Nemetschek APAC Pte. Ltd.).

The product portfolio centers on the ALLPLAN platform and is extended by vertical modules: ALLPLAN Civil for bridge and infrastructure engineering, ALLPLAN Precast for precast fabrication, SDS2 and the new AI-powered Steel Genie for structural steel detailing and cost estimation, SCIA and FRILO for structural analysis, BIMPLUS for interdisciplinary collaboration, and MANUFACTON and TIM for prefabrication production management. Underlying technology follows openBIM principles for open standards and cross-discipline interoperability, paired with cloud-based real-time collaboration. The 2025-2026 roadmap layered in an AI Assistant for workflow guidance, an AI-powered cost-estimation tool (Steel Genie), automated reinforcement detailing, IFC export enhancements, and a Preoptima CONCEPT integration for early-stage carbon assessment. Allplan also holds ISO 27001 certification for information security.

The business model is a multi-tiered annual software subscription (per user per month, billed yearly) with public list prices ranging from $241 to $827 per seat depending on product and tier (Concept, Professional, Ultimate for both ALLPLAN and SCIA), supplemented by 14-day free trials, demos, and a 1-month subscription option for short-term commercial use.

Direct peers

• Autodesk: Autodesk's Revit and AutoCAD products are the dominant BIM and general-purpose design platforms for AEC professionals, directly competing with ALLPLAN across architectural design, structural engineering, and infrastructure workflows globally.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems provides OpenBuildings, OpenRoads, OpenBridge and other infrastructure-focused BIM applications, competing head-to-head with ALLPLAN Civil and ALLPLAN's bridge/infrastructure modules among civil engineers and infrastructure owners.
• Trimble (Tekla Structures): Trimble's Tekla Structures is a leading BIM software for structural engineering and steel/concrete detailing, directly comparable to ALLPLAN's SDS2, SCIA and Precast offerings for fabricators and structural engineers.
• Graphisoft (ArchiCAD): Graphisoft's ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM platform owned by ALLPLAN's parent Nemetschek Group. It directly competes with ALLPLAN in the architectural design segment and is the closest internal sibling brand.
• RIB Software: RIB Software provides iTWO construction and estimating software targeting AEC and infrastructure projects in Europe and Asia. It is a direct competitor in design-to-build construction workflows that overlap with ALLPLAN's planning and prefabrication capabilities.
• Bluebeam: Bluebeam (also owned by Nemetschek Group) provides Revu and collaboration tools for AEC professionals. It competes with ALLPLAN's BIMPLUS collaboration platform and shares the same parent, making it a closely adjacent peer.
• Vectorworks: Vectorworks (Nemetschek Group) provides BIM and CAD software for architecture, landscape and entertainment design. It is a sibling brand that competes with ALLPLAN in architectural design but with a different persona focus.

Broad incumbents

• Dassault Systèmes: Dassault Systèmes offers the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with CATIA and Civil Design applications that compete in infrastructure and large-project AEC contexts. It is a broader PLM incumbent rather than an AEC-specialist.
• Hexagon (BricsCAD / Hexagon PPM): Hexagon's BricsCAD CAD platform and PPM division serve architectural, MEP and infrastructure design. They overlap with ALLPLAN but Hexagon operates across many industries beyond AEC.

Emerging players

• Procore Technologies: Procore is a leading construction management SaaS platform for project execution. It does not directly compete in design BIM but increasingly intersects with ALLPLAN's downstream construction-planning workflows.
