The Collaborative Building Design Platform

Join Altaf Ghanihar, founder of Snaptrude, as he delves into his journey of developing a revolutionary design tool for architects. With a research background in geometry and computer graphics, Altaf contributed to a large-scale national project focused on reconstructing a UNESCO World Heritage site in 3D. This experience exposed him to the outdated tools and workflows of architects from the 80s and 90s, sparking his desire to assist. Initially creating plugins to address specific workflow needs, Altaf realized that these were mere band-aids for a much larger issue. Over a decade, it became clear that the entire design ecosystem needed an overhaul.

In this podcast, Altaf shares the story behind Snaptrude, a tool that combines the simplicity of SketchUp with the power of BIM. Discover how Snaptrude aims to connect people, data, and tools in a cloud-first environment, creating a single source of truth for design software. Altaf explores the future of design tools, emphasizing collaborative and intelligent design mechanisms and the integration of code analysis and regulations. Tune in to learn how Snaptrude is set to transform the architecture and design industry.

This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Collaborative Building Design Platform with Altaf Ganihar.

Connect with Altaf online at Snaptrude, and find him on LinkedIn.
