Archify

Overview

Archify is an all-in-one digital platform for architectural design and product specification operated by BCI Central. It serves as a centralized hub connecting architects, interior designers, and construction specifiers across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia with verified building product manufacturers. The platform enables design professionals to discover materials, save product libraries, create digital mood boards, and integrate directly with specification tools like NBS Chorus to streamline project documentation workflows.

What it does

• Provides a searchable digital catalog of verified building materials, architectural products, and CAD/BIM downloads
• Integrates directly with specification software such as NBS Chorus to auto-populate building product details
• Offers tailored design mood boards and personal product library tools for architectural planning
• Facilitates continuous professional development through hosted formal CPD webinars and technical presentations.

Who it's for

• Architects & Interior Designers
• Construction Specifiers & Engineers
• Building Product Manufacturers & Suppliers
• Property Developers & Project Managers

Why it works

• Strategic integration with NBS Chorus connects product discovery directly into formal architectural specification workflows
• Backing from BCI Central provides extensive distribution access across established construction networks in ANZ and Asia
• B2B supplier membership monetization gives specifiers free, unrestricted search and specification capabilities
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation draws high-intent architectural professionals to the platform regularly.

Founder story

Archify was launched in 2019 as a strategic digital platform initiative by BCI Central (formerly BCI Media Group). Founded to solve the fragmented manual process of architectural product specification across the Asia-Pacific region, BCI Central built Archify to digitize material catalogs, streamline supplier connections, and bridge technical product data directly into architectural documentation workflows.

Alternatives

• Architonic
• ArchiProducts
• SpecChek
• MagneBuilding Solutions

Comparison overview

• Archify incorporates localized product catalogs for APAC and directly synchronizes specifications with NBS Chorus, whereas global platforms like Architonic focus primarily on design inspiration galleries.
• Archify operates on a free-tier model for architects while charging supplier listing memberships, unlike software tools that charge per-seat fees to specifiers.
