What do you like best about Higharc?

Higharc brings a centralized data approach to residential construction. The central data model eliminates the possibilities of differences between marketing, design, and construction documents. Let the customer configure their home plan options, look at it in 3D, then get immediate construction documents. The interface for the customer is fantastic.

Customer support is good. Very attentive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

Expect 6+ months for plans to be in production in a showroom environment, possibly longer than that for construction documents. Their Procure (estimating) product is the newest portion of the system and doesn't do roof systems yet. (But will.) Cost is on another level. However, there is no competitor in the market that can do everything that Higharc can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

A modern way to present our homes to our customers and quickly creating construction documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Higharc?

Unlike our other experiences with onboarding new technology, the HighArc team has been excellent in their communication of timelines and meeting those timelines. With their help we are in the process of the fastest community launch we've ever had. We just got a look at our first configurable model and are extremely pleased and excited about its marketing power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

Nothing as of yet. As stated we're still in the beginning of our journey but very optimistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Go to market cycle time is currently too slow. We're thus far optimistic that we can cut this cycle time in half.

Our digital assets have been ok, but the 3D visualization of floor plans, options and color palettes with HighArc should fuel our presale ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

The amount of time to train new users to really understand the entire platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining the home building process. Decreasing the amount of time from point of sale to time of dig. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Conor Sedam of Higharc

marketing and sales to construction, making home information just a few clicks away is exactly the kind of streamlined solution we aim to provide. 🚀

It’s great to know you find the dashboard well-organized and the automation within studio files a huge time-saver—eliminating repetitive tasks is a win we love hearing about! And your recognition of how quickly changes can be implemented and communicated makes us so proud. 💡

We appreciate your feedback about training new users. While the platform’s capabilities are extensive, we’re always looking for ways to make onboarding easier and faster. Your input helps us improve that experience.

Hearing how Higharc is helping decrease the time from point of sale to breaking ground is so exciting! Thank you for highlighting the support from our team and your enthusiasm for the future features—we’re just as excited for what’s to come. Thank you for being a valued part of the Higharc community! 🏡✨😊

What do you like best about Higharc?

I am brand new to Higharc but in the matter of two hours was able to get myself trained and the sales team trained on how customers and staff would interface with the software in the sales process. Also appreciate the ability to control what level of details are displayed for public facing interfaces (i.e. website) vs what can be displayed for private customer appointments.

Higharc has bas been very timely and responsive through the whole implementation process. When implementing custom models there are always unique challenges -- Higharc has been very collaborative and fast in addressing those challenges Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

Only complaint is the UX design and interface is a bit dated when it comes to the visuals and color schemes. Just a visual thing - the experience is still really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Higharc is enabling one source of truth when it comes to what the customer thinks they have selected, what they have actually selected, and the construction documents in order to deliver that. It is also enabling a much more seamless customer sales process in which they can walk out the door with a specific home plan and price which in the past would have taken longer to generate.

What do you like best about Higharc?

The most helpful thing about HighArc is the ability to create multiple elevation styles of one floorplan in one central location as one file.

The upsides to using HighArc I think will be the ability to add more options and make all the options viewable in 3D for our buyers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

The least helpful thing about HighArc is how different it is from setting up a simple house plan compared to something like AutoCAD with simple lines. HighArc uses layouts that I am just learing how to use but it is not as straight forward as a simple line drawing. I am not sure if I know what the downsides of using HighArc are yet since I have not had a chance to dive into it too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

HighArc will make it easier to make changes when it is just in one location for a home layout instead of 8 different files for different elevation types as well as garage left and right and 2 and 3 car garages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Higharc?

Our experience with Higharc has been impressive so far as we go through the training and implementation phase. Sarah, Ed, Anthony, Maria, and the team have done an outstanding job working with us at Eddy Homes, treating us as a true partner rather than just a customer. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and dedication to our success have made a complex transition much smoother. Although we’re still in the early stages, we’re excited about the potential Higharc offers to streamline and elevate our operations. Highly recommend them to other builders looking for a collaborative and proactive partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

We have no dislikes about Higharc at this time; however, we’re still in the learning phase of the program and continuing to explore its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

We chose Higharc for its potential to enhance our drafting speed, provide instant lot-specific construction drawings, improve estimating accuracy, integrate seamlessly with our ERP, and streamline option management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Higharc?

Higharc has been most helpful in not only its evolving user interfaces but also its ability to make work life easier. The ease of the implementation of our house has been a great asset and improved how efficient we will be in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

there's no downsides, if Iever have an issue I just message in Slack and my problem will most likely have a solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Higharc is solving greatly improves the ability to make changes to our plan by being able to make one change that can change all plans. By being able to have all our plans in a more uniform way of doing things. We will be able to make more plans with more features without the hassle of having to change one thing at a time. It is a very expansive resource not only in the drawing aspect but in being able to be utilized for the sales team, with eventually being able to provide to be built in our repertoire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Higharc?

We are currently in the onboarding process of Higharc. We decided to embark on this journey for the ease of transitioning the sale of a home to the start of a home. Taking a customer facing interface and turning it into a set of buildable CDs is amazing. We are looking forward to the many other awesome things that Higharc can provide, such as procurement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

Not sure what to say here, so far we have loved everything about Higharc. There are weekly meetings, and sometimes it feels over-the-top, but I understand the process of them. If we create/build things correctly upfront, we have a much better chance of launching it to our team successfully. We are starting our Studio training and the things we have talked anout are becoming more clear, such as the CDM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

It will provide accurate site specific CDs that benefit our internal builders as well as our trades. The ease of which we will be able to access updated plans, in real time, is a major benefit of Higharc. Pushing changes from a CDM to a plans at a community level will be helpful in the land planning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Conor Sedam of Higharc

Thank you for sharing your early impressions, Dallas! 🌟 It’s so exciting to hear how Higharc is already making an impact during your onboarding process. The ability to transition seamlessly from a customer-facing interface to buildable CDs is one of our favorite features too, and we can’t wait for you to experience all the other benefits Higharc has to offer—procurement included! 🚀

We appreciate your feedback on the weekly meetings. While they might feel a bit much at times, it’s fantastic to hear you recognize the value of setting things up correctly upfront for a smooth launch. Your commitment to learning and implementing Higharc is inspiring! 💪

Accurate, site-specific CDs, real-time updates, and streamlined land planning are all game-changers, and we’re thrilled that you’re seeing the potential for these tools to transform your workflow. Thank you for choosing Higharc and sharing your journey—we’re here to support you every step of the way! 🏡✨

What do you like best about Higharc?

Higharc enables many capabilities in all aspects of our business. Drafting and Architecture are a big shift in thinking and help to set up a strong product strategy. In Sales and Marketing it allows us to communicate more clearly to our customers what they will be getting with their home. And on the Operations side we are still pealing back the onion on the efficiencies that it will bring us. It is such an amazing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

I can't call this a dislike, but the transition from other drafting softwares is a learning curve. There's a mindset and strategy that are just different with it. It takes some patience up front especially if you've been using another tool for a decade. There is tremendous value that comes downstream in the maintenance and usage of all your plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plan set maintenance and variance. It enables efficient and clear management of option upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Conor Sedam of Higharc

Thank you for such a thoughtful and enthusiastic review, Philip! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear how Higharc is making an impact across so many aspects of your business. From transforming Drafting and Architecture to empowering Sales and Marketing with clearer communication, it’s amazing to see how Higharc is helping you build a stronger product strategy. And the potential efficiencies you’re uncovering in Operations? That’s music to our ears! 🎶

We completely understand that transitioning from long-standing tools comes with a learning curve, and we deeply appreciate your patience and commitment to embracing this shift. It’s so rewarding to hear that the downstream benefits in plan maintenance and usage are already shining through.

Thank you for recognizing Higharc as an amazing tool—we’re honored to be a part of your journey and excited to continue supporting your success! 🚀🏡✨

What do you like best about Higharc?

Most CAD programs are slow, taxing on a computers hardware, and often make processes take longer than needed. I like the fact that Higharc is web based and isnt super taxing on the computers hardware. I also like the speed at which everything operates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Higharc?

I dislike the lack of tools that would make drafting through studio easier/smoother, however, with that being said, the changes and features we would like to be implamented into studio have been addressed and will be looked into in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Higharc solving and how is that benefiting you?

When using Chief Architect we run into a time issue with all of our Optional Floor Plans, Elevations, and luxury level items. Higharc solves this issue by having all of these options built into one plan with the simplicity of enabling and disabling each option with a click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Conor Sedam of Higharc

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Tony! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying Higharc’s web-based platform and its speed. Eliminating the hardware strain and streamlining processes is exactly what we aim to achieve, so it’s great to know it’s making a difference for you. 🚀

We appreciate your feedback about drafting tools in Studio. It’s fantastic to hear that you’ve shared your ideas with us, and rest assured, we’re committed to addressing and improving these features in future updates. Your input helps us shape the platform to better meet your needs! 💡

It’s exciting to hear how Higharc is solving time issues by consolidating optional floor plans, elevations, and luxury-level items into one plan. The ability to enable and disable options with a single click is one of our favorite features, and we’re so glad it’s helping you work more efficiently. Thank you for being a part of the Higharc community—we’re excited to keep supporting your success! 🏡✨😊
