ArchiCAD is used primarily by small to medium sized firms but many if not most of these use Revit. In the US Revit dominates the large scale building market. Revit has an advantage coordinating between disciplines due to its various engineering tools but this can be worked around using IFC.

Both are good at automating document production but ArchiCAD is much easier and more sophisticated in its capabilities in this regard. Revit has far more features for building engineering but it is frankly pretty much crap as a design tool. ArchiCAD for almost 30 years and Revit for over 10.ĪrchiCAD is by far the better tool for architectural design.
