Higharc is a homebuilding software company that sells a cloud design and construction-document platform to home builders. Its legal entity is Higharc, Inc. in Durham, North Carolina. It addresses slow plan design, manual estimating and permit drawings that must be redone whenever plans change.
Builders use enterprise modules Studio, Config, Showroom, Estimate, Build and Photoreal to design homes, configure plans, show 3D visuals to buyers and generate lot-specific estimates and permit-ready documents.
