A Three Pillar Partnership

The collaboration between Nemetschek and Google Cloud rests on three main goals: driving AI-powered innovation and simplification, speeding up global market growth, and enhancing efficiency and sustainability.

The first pillar focuses on making AI and cloud technologies accessible and effective. Nemetschek Group is developing a multi-cloud AI layered ecosystem that supports collaboration and automation across its design and construction tools. As part of the first pillar, Nemetschek is integrating Google Cloud AI to boost productivity and creativity in design and construction for architects and engineers. One of Nemetschek’s BIM authoring brands, Graphisoft, has a collaboration with Google Cloud, playing a pivotal role in scaling its cloud-based solutions like its collaboration platform BIMcloud. Over the years, the collaboration has helped Graphisoft grow in users, engagement, enhancements and news innovations. The adoption of geospatial integration with Google Maps and Earth will enable the BIM authoring brands of the Nemetschek Group, such as ALLPLAN and Vectorworks, to optimize planning and resource allocation. The Nemetschek AI implementation will be guided by three core principles: privacy and data governance, protecting IP rights and creativity, and business integrity, ensuring responsible and transparent adoption.

The second pillar centers on business growth, with Nemetschek integrating its solutions within the Google Cloud Marketplace and Google Workspace Marketplace ecosystems to increase Workspace integration, expand market reach and unlock revenue opportunities. This includes a series of initiatives Nemetschek brands like Bluebeam, GoCanvas, Spacewell and Vectorworks. The efforts focus on speeding up digital adoption to improve collaboration and expand customer access. The Workspace and Marketplace initiatives will benefit small and medium-sized architects, engineers, construction companies, and large enterprises alike.

Sustainability is a key focus of the third pillar. The Nemetschek Group and Google Cloud are working together to position Nemetschek as a leader in sustainability technology for AEC/O. Google Cloud’s AI-powered solutions will help the industry reduce carbon footprints, assess lifecycle impacts, and improve energy efficiency. Brands like ALLPLAN, Graphisoft, and Vectorworks are embedding AI-driven services to facilitate sustainable design and regulatory compliance. Meanwhile, Spacewell is advancing smart facility management solutions to boost energy efficiency during building operations.
