The specialized BIM software for mixed construction projects using steel, timber, glass, and light metal
HYBRID CONSTRUCTION: DIGITAL DESIGN, DETAILING AND PREFABRICATION IN ONE TOOL
Rethinking Hybrid Construction – Efficiently Modeling Material Diversity
bocad Hybrid is the BIM solution for projects with steel, timber, glass, and light metal – from design to fabrication. The software unites model-based, cross-trade planning with high precision and enables efficient processes for new builds, renovations, and modular construction.

Model = Fabrication – Digitally consistent, ecologically advantageous
All planning and execution data in bocad Hybrid are based on a central, intelligent 3D model. Bills of materials, drawings, and NC data are automatically synchronized and always up to date – this increases the level of prefabrication, reduces sources of error, and supports CO₂-optimized construction. Cloud-based collaboration and open interfaces ensure seamless exchange with structural engineering, architectural, and production systems. The close integration with Revit enables a continuous digital workflow from design to assembly.

MODEL = DRAWING
bocad reduces the number of work steps and errors. Drawings and 3D models are based on a common database. Changes are immediately visible, ensuring that both forms of representation are always up to date and consistent. This continuous planning saves time and minimizes errors.
