By Rose Barfield – I’m always happy to talk to BricsCAD users, but and time and time again I hear the same misconceptions. Today I’m going to put these to bed once and for all!

Here are the top 5 myths about BricsCAD:

Myth #1 BricsCAD is Made in China

Bricsys is a global company, however, the majority of the BricsCAD product is designed and developed in Belgium. The headquarters are situated in the picturesque city of Gent, a true architect’s delight!

We also have offices all over the world:
