Alex • 2012

In general what is/are the rule(s) about buying BIM software from certain companies or resellers over others.

Marco Antonio, Architect

For example Revit (or AutoCAD products) is available through several resellers, but to me the resellers job here is not just offering the product (hopefully at a good price!) but assisting product usage, so if you take this view, the reseller is very important as each I think will offer you different levels and kinds of service. Good luck! 1 More Answer
