MagiCAD Empowers the Built Environment with Innovative MEP Design in 40 Years

Throughout its rich history, the world of MEP design has witnessed a remarkable evolution driven by groundbreaking technological advancements, visionary collaborations, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. This continuous transformation has not only reshaped the way we construct buildings but has also laid the foundation for a future where intelligent systems and sustainable practices seamlessly converge to create a harmonious built environment.

Keeping Innovating for 40 Years

Founded in 1983 as Progman in Rauma, Finland, MagiCAD Group has a rich history of technological advancements, partnerships, and collaborations shaping the future of MEP design and other digital solutions for the built environment. Its focus on MEP design and information modelling began early on, driven by a passion for understanding what makes buildings work. The name "MagiCAD" was inspired by the software's ability to perform design automatically, just like magic.

Over the years, MagiCAD Group has continued to develop innovative solutions for MEP design, including MagiCAD Cloud, a comprehensive BIM content platform for MEP design including products from 300+ manufacturers. In 2014, it became part of Glodon Company Limited, one of the world's largest AEC software companies.

Driving Efficient MEP Design Forward

Today, MagiCAD Group's team of passionate software professionals continues to provide intelligent solutions to make engineering, design, and construction management easier, faster, and more profitable. 

Its newly released MagiCAD 2024 offers designers powerful tools to design and calculate variable air volume (VAV) systems in both Revit and AutoCAD environments. With the new functionality, users are able to simulate different usage scenarios in order to find the optimal balance of comfort and energy efficiency.

Other highlights in MagiCAD 2024 for Revit, include a Project Wizard tool that combines everything needed to start a new project in one easy-to-use window, and a View Manager tool, for creating and managing views. Modelling work is easier with the possibility to copy branches between levels and electrical designers will also benefit from multiple new additions, such as ELV data for products.

MagiCAD 2024 for AutoCAD provides the possibility to assign classification standards for systems, enabling automatic classification codes to be added for objects during the design. Other improvements that help the daily work of MEP designers include labeling objects to enable custom filtering in reporting and file exports and the possibility to update saved products directly from MagiCAD Cloud.

As we celebrate the remarkable advancements in MEP design, we embrace the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. The industry is poised for further digitalization, automation, and integration, with technologies like BIM, IoT, and AI revolutionizing the way we conceive, design, and operate buildings. The future of MEP design holds promises of enhanced energy efficiency, optimized systems, and seamless connectivity, resulting in buildings that are not only functional but also sustainable, adaptable, and human-centric.
