Where can I find a list of US architectural firms using ArchiCAD?

I don't think there is any official one, though you could probably collect quite a few notes from this Forum.

There are reasons on all sides that such a list is not available. Many firms don't want to publicize what they consider to be a competitive advantage, dealers (obviously) don't want to release their client list, and Graphisoft needs to respect these as well as be concerned about what its competitors would do with such information.

As Tom suggests, the best approach is the good, old, political standby of "press the flesh", virtually speaking of course.

You could of course post an ad but the first question that you have to answer is, "Why do you want to know?"

We are an Lebanese architectural firm with offices in Cairo, Geneva and Los Angeles. We are a total of almost 90 architects. The reason I am looking for this list is very simple. I am searching for potential consultants/firms that would be ready to support our office in securing large projects (50 millions usd and above) in the GCC region. Having the same platform will facilitate the coordination.

Huh? I don't think this is obvious at all.

e.g. www.bobrow.com
www.digitalvis.com
www.archvista.com
etc.

All have client lists.

This is interesting Richard! How did you find it? Do you have any more lists?

I think we could all benefit by collecting this kind of data. I would encourage anyone with such a list to submit it here too. Certainly the more people that can be contacted collectively regarding ArchiCad issues, promotions, etc the better it is for the whole community.

These are just the dealers I happen to know of in California. If you go to GS's website, you can get website addresses for most, if not all, of their dealers.

I stand corrected.
