Challenge	Bastiaan van der Steen, the entrepreneur behind IQTA, a versatile real estate company based in the Netherlands, was facing a challenge. His company, which is involved in a variety of projects from systemized construction to regular project development, needed a more efficient way to manage its diverse portfolio. IQTA was developing multiple projects, including temporary housing using high-quality design containers and tiny houses similar in size to a sea container. Additionally, they were developing an apartment complex with a parking garage in a former car showroom. The complexity and diversity of these projects required collaboration with multiple parties, which prompted Bastiaan to start looking for new CAD software. The existing solutions were not able to meet the diverse needs of the company, especially when it came to managing mechanical engineering aspects of their projects. Read More

Solution	IQTA found its solution in BricsCAD Ultimate, a comprehensive CAD package that includes BIM and Mechanical features. This software was particularly appealing to Bastiaan because of his real estate background and the mechanical engineering character of several of his projects. With BricsCAD Ultimate, he was able to edit all kinds of mechanical parts in his projects, something that was not possible with his previous software. Additionally, the software offered everything in one workspace, making it easier to manage and oversee all aspects of a project. Another significant advantage of BricsCAD Ultimate was its cost-effectiveness compared to other packages. To further enhance the capabilities of BricsCAD, Bastiaan combined his license with Enscape, a plug-in for real-time rendering and virtual reality. This allowed him to quickly make renders of his designs, a task that was previously outsourced to a third party. Read More Log in to view content
