Built for schematic design exploration
Forma Building Design is a cloud-based design and analysis software for schematic design. Explore more ideas, shape options before complex modelling, and use easy tools to add details to buildings quickly and test building performance live. Then continue into Revit with native BIM geometry.

Get started with Forma Building Design
Site context
Set up your site faster with automatic contextual data.
Design automations
Create and edit floor plans and modular facades with automations. Customize unit layouts and track unit mix with area metrics.
Integrated analysis
Improve building performance as you design with sun hours, daylight potential for facades and windows, and total carbon analysis.
Direct connection with Revit
Turn your project into a geolocated, native Revit model with site context and families for windows, slabs, and walls. Keep projects connected in the Forma Industry Cloud.
Forma Board
Keep design reviews agile and connected from day one. Align direction, compare options, and capture design progression in a collaborative visual workspace linked to BIM.

Questions? We have answers.
Forma Building Design is a design and analysis software for the schematic design phase. Architects and designers use it to explore more ideas before it’s time for BIM — so they can shape options, test performance, and then move forward with confidence.
It’s built for architects working on schematic design projects, especially on larger-scale residential and mixed-use urban projects with repetition across facades and floor plans.
Forma Site Design helps teams understand wider site conditions and optimize the site’s potential for a feasibility study. It suits site planning and site analysis.
Forma Building Design helps teams determine building design direction for specific plots and blocks, including unit mix — so they can explore more ideas before it’s time for BIM and then move forward. It is used for schematic design.
