I see new builds of BlenderBIM only support 3.1 and up now, but Archipack is quite buggy under 3.1 and Stephen seems to have disappeared (life happens?).
What is the recommended process for making structures now? I need decent fidelity for renders (e.g. good window and door models).
Or do I just need to use an older version for 3.0?If so, what is the best version of BlenderBIM for 3.0?

Noticed this too, archipack is a great tool. I wonder if more people are able to support it?

Just an idea, can't you get your hands on some existing IFC models and extract doors and windows from that with the BlenderBIM add-on?

Stephen is active on the Archipack discord channel FWIW., there is a troubleshooting section there.

Hurra! Someone checked the wiki for information! Let's see more of that. This forum is for discussions, durable information should be on the wiki.

Thanks, I clicked on the link and to my great surprise I see it bookmarked it sometime and then completely forgot about it
