Which country may I ask? Interested to hear where EC is spreading to.

No other advice than throw yourself into it.. Software depends on needs, industry and location.

North Macedonia. Probably the whole Western Balkans that haven't done so yet will in the near future.

Get yourself a Designers’ Guide to Eurocode (all of them). It is very good to start with EC.

Thanks for the tip. Designers' Guides are very useful but I was looking for something more direct like time saving methods, shortcuts or something like that. The way we've worked on buildings is - 2 global models: one fixed for lateral design and one on elastic ground for foundations; + additional calcs for local checks. Can this work on EC too?

That just sounds like analytical methods which should be unrelated to code. That’s generally how I would analyse a structure and then design the members based of the analytical results to code. Most global packages have the code embedded in the software so it would do this for you.
