Newforma is another well-established and powerful project management tool designed specifically for architecture and engineering firms. The company started in New Hampshire in 2003 with its flagship project information management product . It is used by nearly 1,500 different architectural firms around the world.

Pros: What makes Newforma unique on this list is that it includes both BIM (as an add-on module) and project management features, as well as the document management features it is best known for. Newforma also integrates with AutoCAD and Revit to form a complete architectural design and project management package.

Cons: As a friend of mine discovered, while Newforma advertising database solves a few problems—along with ArchiCAD, it's the only product on this list that includes both design and project management features—it's not deep enough in either discipline to replace dedicated software in those categories. However, with additional modules and integrations, Newforma could fit well into a firm's dedicated design tools.

Pricing: Newforma does not list their prices online, but you can request information here .

6. WorkflowMax


WorkflowMax

WorkflowMax is a product of New Zealand-based accounting and payroll software developer Xero. It aims to be a one-stop job management tool for everyone from architects to lawyers.

Pros: As an architectural tool, WorkflowMax offers contract, document, and proposal management features . As a project management tool, it offers budget and resource management, collaboration, and time and task management. That's a lot of value for a competitively priced software package.

Cons: It lacks some features on both sides - like the design elements of architecture software and visualization tools like Gantt charts and Kanban boards on the project management side - but if you're just looking for something to do the tasks listed above, WorkflowMax is a great little tool.

Pricing: WorkflowMax offers a free trial, and plans start at $49 per month for up to five users, with an individual plan for $15 per month.
