OpenBuildings Speedikon is a specialized design and documentation solution for German and European markets, enabling architects and engineers to efficiently design, analyze, and document buildings of any scale. It delivers high-quality LOD-based representations and supports DIN and VOB standards through a German data set, while smart, flexible tools enable both standardization and customization. 

If you want to receive tailored training or attend an OpenBuildings Speedikon course, our eStore offers extra training and mentoring services. You can choose from tailor-made training, on-demand learning, consulting services, mentoring and more. Access all the learning you need here. 

OpenBuildings Speedikon is not available for individual purchase. It is included with the purchase of OpenBuildings Designer. 

Building design and documentation software enables architects and engineers to create intelligent 3D models that integrate geometry with project data. It supports coordinated design workflows and automatically generates accurate drawings and documentation from the model, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and better collaboration throughout the project lifecycle. 

OpenBuildings Speedikon supports BIM workflows by enabling integrated, information-rich modeling, seamless coordination across disciplines, and automatic generation of consistent drawings and documentation—ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and alignment throughout the project lifecycle. 

LOD in BIM defines the degree of completeness and accuracy of a model element at different stages of a project. It indicates how much information—both graphical (geometry) and non-graphical (data)—is developed and reliable for use. 

LOD helps teams understand: 

  • What information is available at each stage 
  • How reliable that information is for decision-making 
  • Who is responsible for developing specific elements
