I'm always happy to talk to BricsCAD users, but and time and time again I hear the same misconceptions. Today I'm going to put these to bed once and for all!
Here are the top 5 myths about BricsCAD:
Myth #1 BricsCAD is Made in China
Bricsys is a global company, however, the majority of the BricsCAD product is designed and developed in Belgium. The headquarters are situated in the picturesque city of Gent, a true architect's delight!
We also have offices all over the world:

Bricsys USA: A growing number of the Bricsys teamwork directly from the USA.
Bricsys UK: In 2020 Bricsys started its team based in the UK.
Bricsys APAC office Singapore: In 2020 Bricsys opened the doors to its APAC HQ in Singapore, allowing us to offer more region-specific help and support.
International resellers: In addition to all of this, Bricsys works closely with a number of resellers across the globe, so Bricsys never really sleeps. This allows us to provide you with help and support, when you need it, in most languages.
