A-NULL Bausoftware

What A-NULL Bausoftware does

A-NULL Bausoftware GmbH is a Vienna-headquartered private Austrian SME (GmbH) that provides Building Information Modeling (BIM) training, consulting, and third-party software distribution, with a wholly-owned German subsidiary (A-NULL Deutschland GmbH) in Ulm and a Berlin training academy. The firm operates as an authorised Graphisoft Center partner — the official hub for Archicad distribution and certified training in Austria — and as a buildingSMART-authorised examination center for Foundation-level professional qualification certification in both Austria and Germany.

The company's offering rests on three pillars: (1) a hybrid training catalogue (in-person in Vienna/Ulm/Berlin plus online via Zoom) covering Archicad, Solibri, ArchiPHYSIK, Rhinoceros/Grasshopper, BIMcollab, Twinmotion, and BIM methodology, packaged into recurring products including the person-bound A-NULL Fitnesscard (course flatrate starting EUR 2,680) and the company-wide A-NULL Club (membership from EUR 1,340 with -20% training and -10% consulting discounts); (2) consulting services spanning office analysis, office-standard development, BIM coordination, project accompaniment, and BIM2CAD workflows; and (3) distribution of nine third-party BIM software products bundled with proprietary assets such as the A-NULL Vorlage Archicad template and a library of Club-only add-ons.

The go-to-market is sales-led and education-centric, combining a public e-commerce course catalogue, free downloadable lead magnets (Archicad templates, update handbooks), email newsletter, social channels, and the annual ZIP community event. Revenue mixes transactional training fees, recurring Club/Fitnesscard subscriptions, project-based consulting, and software resale margins. Primary customers are SMB and mid-market architecture and engineering firms in the DACH region, with a secondary segment of individual job-seekers routed through Austrian public funding programs (FFG Skills Scheck, Wien Digital, AMS).

Direct peers

• Mensch und Maschine: German CAD/BIM software reseller and training provider with a DACH-wide branch network, closely mirroring A-NULL's combination of software distribution and certified training services.
• Microdesk: US-based BIM and design technology consultancy offering training, consulting, and software implementation services for architecture, engineering, and construction firms — a direct counterpart to A-NULL's BIM services practice.
• VIATechnik: Global BIM/VDC consulting and technology services firm serving architecture and construction clients with training, implementation, and project support — directly comparable to A-NULL's consulting arm.
• Cadac Group: Dutch-headquartered CAD/BIM software reseller with strong DACH presence, combining software distribution with training and consulting — directly parallel to A-NULL's training + software distribution + consulting model.
• Ideate Software: Autodesk-focused BIM/CAD software developer and Authorized Training Center offering tools, training, and consulting to architecture firms — a comparable AEC ecosystem partner.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: AEC software and hardware provider (Tekla, SketchUp, Trimble Connect) with its own training and certification programs that overlap with A-NULL's BIM training portfolio.
• GRAPHISOFT: Developer of Archicad and the primary vendor partner of A-NULL; offers training and certification directly but at a smaller scale than A-NULL's localized, language-specific delivery.
• Autodesk: Dominant global BIM/CAD software vendor (Revit, AutoCAD) whose competing products and large partner network shape the broader market that A-NULL's Archicad-centric training and distribution business competes against.
• Nemetschek Group: Parent company of Graphisoft (and Allplan, Vectorworks, Bluebeam), operating broadly across AEC software — A-NULL sits inside this ecosystem as a specialized channel partner.

Others

• buildingSMART: International openBIM standards body that authorizes A-NULL as an exam center for Foundation certification in Austria and Germany — an enabling partner rather than a competitor.
