Architect using NCS+
"The Vectorworks/NCS+ integration has been fantastic for my workflow. I've been able to create complex mood boards and share them with clients to help engage them in the design process. In this way, NCS+ and the NCS System allows me to use the same model and language to move from early design phases, straight through to working documents for tenders and on to construction management. Overall, it's been a fantastic time saver, allowing me to focus more on creativity and less on logistics."
— Jason Danziger, Architect at ThinkBuild Architecture
