Spotlight on HPP Architects

HPP Architects is one of Europe’s leading architectural partnerships. Founded by Professor Hentrich, it offers a full range of architectural and master planning services.


Today’s fifth generation of HPP comprises a global team of more than 480 architects, engineers, urban designers, and specialists in 13 offices, including eight regional offices in Germany and five international branches in Turkey, China, and the Netherlands. Its headquarters are in the Düsseldorf Media Harbor, and its other offices are in Amsterdam, Beijing, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Istanbul, Leipzig, Munich, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Stuttgart.


HPP and Ideate Software



“HPP has been successfully using Ideate Software tools for many years,” said Sandra Bethke, BIM Manager/IT, HPP. “We use Ideate BIMLink the most, and it saves us a lot of time by enabling us to export data to Excel where people who don’t know Revit can audit data, enter new data, and update existing data.” 


An Example 


With Ideate BIMLink, HPP exports component lists from Revit models into Microsoft Excel files and makes them available to specialist planners who quickly and easily fill in parameter values using familiar Excel tools. When the data is imported back into Revit, the completed parameter data is automatically assigned to the respective components. “This way of working saves a lot of time, especially in very large component lists, such as doors,” said Sandra.


More Time Savings in the Future


HPP recently purchased a three-year subscription to the Ideate Software bundle, which includes Ideate BIMLink, Ideate Explorer, Ideate Sticky, Ideate StyleManager, and IdeateApps.


“Each tool allows us to perform specific tasks better and faster,” said Sandra. “The team is looking forward to using them all as they work to create economical, ecological, technical, social, and aesthetic value for our customers and communities.”
