If you are an architect, you should be making the most use out of technology because it has proven to be useful in increasing productivity and efficiency. Of course, you should have already installed or purchased computer applications to help you with work. But architecture-related smartphone applications are also making waves in the industry because they help both professionals and neophytes work smarter.

Below are some of the best apps in the Apple Store or Google Play Store:
AutoCAD 360
Wouldn’t it be nice if you were able to access your AutoCAD DWGs on the go? By installing AutoCAD 360, you can be able to view your drawings, comment on them, or share them with your teammates even if you are not in the office. Purchase the pro version and pay a monthly fee and you will gain a boatload of other features, including comprehensive editing capabilities.
BIMx eXplorer
Hailed the best mobile app in the 2016 A+Awards, this app allows users to access detailed 2- and 3-D documentation whether they are in the office, with clients, or on the construction site. The efficient viewing of building information modeling can be attributed to the app’s trademark mobile-friendly interface.
RoomScan or MagicPlan
These two apps have a similar function: generation of floor plans with accurate measurements by taking pictures of the rooms, walls, and even stairs and the building exterior.
