Case Study: Pierre Marais Architectural Designs achieves faster plan approvals and repeat business with AllyCAD

Pierre Marais Architectural Designs - Customer Case Study

Pierre Marais Architectural Designs, based in Cape Town, creates detailed home designs and manages municipality approvals for clients across South Africa. The firm needed a way to produce accurate plans quickly while handling surveys, contours, and complex design requirements efficiently. AllyCAD was used alongside related Knowledge Base software to help streamline this work.

AllyCAD enabled Pierre Marais Architectural Designs to complete designs in record time, with the Design Centre module helping generate plot contours from survey coordinates and assess foundation positions before drafting. Using AllyCAD, Pierre says he can impress clients with a high standard of design, which has led to repeat business, positive referrals, and the need to rely less on advertising; one Knysna house design was approved in just four days.
