Givemepower Announces Acquisition and Beta Launch of Powercad Architect Software for Building Design and Construction Industries
POWERCAD ARCHITECT™ SIMPLIFIES CREATION OF AUTOCAD®-COMPATIBLE BUILDING DESIGNS USING AUTOMATED SINGLE MODEL APPROACH AND FLEXIBLE USER INTERFACE
NEW YORK, New York - GiveMePower Corporation (OTCBB:GMPW), a rapidly emerging provider of desktop, mobile and wireless software solutions for the design/build industry, today announced the acquisition and official public beta launch of PowerCAD Architect™, a user-friendly software system that automates 2 and 3-dimensional design for small, medium and large-scale enterprises involved in residential building design and light commercial construction.
Targeting architects, drafters, developers, design consultants, builders, builder supply houses, renovation companies, professional hobbyists and educators seeking a cost-effective, AutoCAD-compatible design system, PowerCAD Architect retails for $995, less than 25% of its closest rivals in terms of power according to the Company. Scheduled for commercial release in Q4, 2002, GiveMePower is offering a $500 discount to qualified beta testers who can now register at http://www.givemepower.com to assist in the final stages of product testing.
"PowerCAD Architect delivers 2 and 3D building design automation normally found only in systems costing thousands of dollars more per license," said Bill Walton, President and CEO of GiveMePower. "And unlike most higher-end systems, PowerCAD Architect speaks in a language people can understand so even entry-level operators can create professional quality results right out of the box."
Walton continued, "PowerCAD Architect represents a significant intellectual property acquisition for GiveMePower shareholders and allows us to securely expand into high-growth vertical markets with an expanded product line targeting a broader range of customers seeking the exceptional value, industry compatibility and ease of use that all our products deliver."
Offering flexible interfaces for novice, advanced and AutoCAD familiar users, PowerCAD Architect uses a single model approach to automatically create and dynamically link intelligent 2 and 3D elements such as walls, windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, and roofs.
