Archify

Archify is a free and comprehensive digital platform for streamlining your design and specification process. Packed with useful collaborative features, Archify provides design professionals with essential information and tools all in the one place. Users can also undertake free certified CPD courses on demand via Archify Education.

Understanding that architects and design professionals turn to search engines when researching products, sourcing specifications and for completing CPD was the first step to providing a solution.

Working in collaboration with product suppliers, the Archify team have taken tens of thousands of products, collating any and all information onto one platform. Our support helps brands deliver their product information to professionals and enables them to experience unprecedented collaboration with architects and designers. On Archify, users are empowered to choose products based on merit, not what is easiest to find on Google. Although supporting materials and case studies help provide information on the appropriateness of products, without easily available information products will simply be overlooked. Removing these barriers is essential for discovering new solutions for our built environment.

Design professionals have access to a library of over 20,000 products from over 600 industry leading brands, with technical information, drawing files, brochures and additional resources attached to each product. Archify constantly improves by listening and delivering to the ever-changing needs of the industry. One of these improvements is the ability to easily find sustainable products, and to see products with attached PDF, DWG and RVT drawing files at a glance. Sustainability is at the forefront of design and becoming a necessity for design professionals when specifying for projects. Product suppliers and manufacturers are making a conscious effort to facilitate criteria such as energy efficiency, low embodied carbon, low water consumption, recyclable materials, recyclable packaging and sustainable manufacturing processes. Attached drawing files allow design professionals to rapidly integrate products into their preferred design software. This is important to gauge how a product visually fits within a project.

Archify’s product library enables design professionals to filter by drawing files and sustainable products, saving even more time when browsing Archify. Products have been examined and, where suitable, badged with sustainability criteria icons, empowering users to make better, greener choices.

But it doesn’t stop there. Archify has a range of collaborative tools to facilitate the entire design process. From saving preferred products to project specific design folders, to generating mood boards and specification sheets; Archify’s intuitive platform provides not only technical information but a digital catalogue of products that might normally take weeks to collate.

You won’t only find products on Archify; over 60+ hours of informal and formal CPD content is available to design professionals for continued development and to learn about new industry trends at their own pace.

Archify continuously evolves to serve the needs of design professionals and aims to maintain momentum in expanding the platform’s product range.
