GRAITEC

What GRAITEC does

GRAITEC is a global provider of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software and digital transformation services for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry. Founded in 1997 as an Autodesk partner and now operating as an Autodesk Platinum Partner across Canada, the United States, and Europe, the company combines proprietary software development with one of the largest Autodesk product distribution footprints globally. Headquartered with a major regional hub in Canada and serving clients across 14+ countries including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand, GRAITEC employs 700+ digital transformation experts and 200 dedicated software developers and reports an installed base of 270,000+ clients worldwide. The firm has completed acquisitions of Microsol Resources and Applied Software (2025) as well as Ideate Software, while introducing sub-brands such as Strucsoft in product positioning.

GRAITEC's proprietary technology stack centers on Advance Design (finite element analysis and structural engineering), GRAITEC STEEL (steel design and fabrication), Advance Workshop (fabrication management), File Sync (cross-platform collaboration), Data Connect (AEC business-system integration), the PowerPack add-on family for Autodesk Advance Steel and Plant 3D, and the Ideate Software Revit plugin suite. The 2027 release roadmap introduces an 'AI for AECO' framework operating across three horizons — AI that assists, AI that automates, and AI that generates — built on 40 years of structural and AECO domain expertise. As an Autodesk Platinum Partner, GRAITEC also resells and supports the broader Autodesk AEC and manufacturing portfolio (Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Advance Steel, Inventor, Vault, Plant 3D, AEC Collection, BIM Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Construction Cloud, PDM Collection, Bluebeam), supplied alongside its own software through Direct Enterprise Sales and product-led free-trial channels.

GRAITEC monetizes through four interlocking revenue streams: (1) Autodesk software resale and subscription renewals across the AEC and manufacturing product lines; (2) proprietary product licensing, subscriptions, and maintenance for GRAITEC-developed software; (3) training services delivered through classroom programs, e-learning (Pinnacle Series), and customized curricula for Autodesk and GRAITEC software; and (4) digital transformation consulting under programs branded BIMUP (Construction BIM), the Construction BIM Program, MFG Program, Up & Ready, EmpowerUp, and technical consulting. Customer segments are segmented vertically into Architecture, Engineering, Construction (primary), and Manufacturing, Fabrication, Product Design, and Workflow & Data Management (secondary), with a consultative, quote-based pricing approach and free trials supporting self-evaluation. Notable customers include JCB Construction, GKC Architecture & Design, WSP, STRANA Experts-Conseils, Pomerleau, LH2, Byrom Associates, and I J Murray Associates.
