Finally, a case study was conducted using ArchiCAD ® and Revit ® to demonstrate the results and to show the reliability of the proposed method. The application of the method shows that ArchiCAD ® has an advantage over Revit® in respect to the identified factors and the evaluations of these factors by experts from a different perspective. The developed method 3 can be considered as a decision support tool and can be applied to compare other software.

This method aims to calculate each software score taken into consideration the identified factors. This study develops a comparison method based on the weighted average method and the identified factors from the literature review. The comparison was made from three fronts: 1) common advantages, 2) common limitations, and 3) identified factors. This comparison introduces several factors that affect the efficiency of the software to meet the architect's needs. Needless to say that projects complexity and the number of available BIM software are continuously increasing which generates the urge need to a comparison among this different software in order to select the best software. It should determine which the best software is and make it easy for users to let them know what the best software is for them depending on their requirement and project. This study aims to compare two BIM software ArchiCAD ® and Revit ® from an architectural perspective in order to identify the best software in terms of users' satisfaction. It also facilitated the integration of the model with scheduling and cost control processes. This led some developers to implement the building information modeling (BIM) in their software which helps architects to generate more accurate, reliable, and informative 3D models. The increasing demand of the construction industry generates pressure on the architects from different perspectives such as 1) time and 2) cost. Building information modeling (BIM) has been introduced to meet the complexity and productivity requirements of projects.
