• GoCanvas is a leading provider of SaaS solutions for enhancing productivity and safety through paperless collection, reporting and integration of field data in construction
• Perfect fit with Nemetschek’s Build & Construct Division portfolio strategy
• Complementary technology, customer base and regional sales split will create strong synergies and accelerate Subscription/SaaS business model transition
• Combining Bluebeam office and GoCanvas field worker community will create a unique construction ecosystem

RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Nemetschek Group (NEM.DE), a leading global provider of software solutions for the AEC/O and media industries, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire all shares in GoCanvas Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Reston, Virginia, USA. GoCanvas® is a leading provider of field worker collaboration software that digitizes traditionally paper-based processes, simplifies inspections, improves safety, and maximizes compliance with more than 300,000 active users worldwide in the first quarter of 2024.

The Nemetschek Group´s Build Segment offers subscription and SaaS products that simplify customers’ jobs and connect openly with other AEC/O solutions and platforms. GoCanvas fits perfectly in this strategy by offering flexible cloud and mobile field worker solutions that help customers efficiently collect real-time data, collaborate across worksites, create digital checklists, make data-driven business decisions, and replace paperwork with smart, simple workflows.

Complementary technologies create a best-in-class portfolio for a sustainable built environment globally

The acquisition of GoCanvas will capture significant growth opportunities and technology synergies through further enhancing market and customer access. GoCanvas further strengthens Nemetschek Group’s positioning in the US while Nemetschek will provide GoCanvas a unique footprint to expand in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Nemetschek Group’s largest brand Bluebeam is already the most trusted name for collaboration solutions in the built environment and is poised to utilize this market leadership to introduce GoCanvas solutions to extend value to field workers. GoCanvas expands the existing Build portfolio of Nemetschek by providing solutions that simplify operations for on-site professionals across diverse sectors including construction, manufacturing and energy with workflows including safety, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), quality and work progress. These solutions deliver enhanced productivity and efficiency gains for field workers, including reduced travel, heightened safety measures, and improved collaboration.

GoCanvas already has a strong position in the fast-growing field worker market. Consequently, the TAM (total addressable market) for the Build segment increases significantly.

“GoCanvas is a great fit and a perfect complement to our existing solution portfolio in the Build segment and therefore represents a valuable addition to our expertise in covering the complete AEC/O life cycle,” says Yves Padrines, CEO of the Nemetschek Group. “Adding the powerful solutions of GoCanvas gives us a strong competitive edge while opening access to a rapidly growing market for field workforces in construction and other adjacent verticals.”

Viyas Sundaram, GoCanvas CEO, adds: “We are thrilled to join the Nemetschek Group as we continue our mission to simplify inspections and digitize paper-based processes. This partnership will accelerate our growth and development, allowing us to offer our solutions to a wider range of customers. Together, we will support them in safeguarding their people, protecting their assets, and delivering exceptional quality.”

“We are very much looking forward to welcoming the GoCanvas team to the Nemetschek family,” adds Usman Shuja, Chief Division Officer of the Build & Construct Division and CEO of Bluebeam Inc. “GoCanvas extends the simplicity and delightful user experience that Bluebeam and 123OnSite users value. I am excited to expand our latest innovations to the field worker. Our customers will significantly benefit from this combined power, as we are now able to provide a comprehensive offering with the most advanced and sustainable functionalities possible.”

Innovative and fast-growing company

GoCanvas was founded in 2008 and has more than 300 employees with locations in the US, Canada, Australia and South Africa. With its strong Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth of around 20% in recent years, GoCanvas generated an ARR of USD 67 million and an operating margin still below the Nemetschek Group average in 2023. GoCanvas’ growth is expected to stay at the level of around 20% in the coming years with an increase in operating margin resulting from operational leverage, synergies and economies of scale. The purchase price (on a cash-/debt-free basis) represents a 2023 ARR multiple of around 11.5x based on the 2023 ARR.

Transaction financing will be provided by Nemetschek’s own cash resources and existing credit facilities. The acquisition is expected to close in summer 2024 and is subject to customary regulatory approval and closing conditions. Until the transaction closes, each company will continue to operate independently. Upon closing, the CEO of GoCanvas, Viyas Sundaram, and his team will join the Nemetschek Group. More details related to the transaction will be disclosed after closing of the acquisition.

C$880 million acquisition will enhance Saint-Gobain’s position in light and sustainable construction and further strengthen its product portfolio in Canada.

MALVERN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Saint-Gobain has completed the acquisition, announced on April 3, 2024, of The Bailey Group of Companies (Bailey), a leading manufacturer of metal building solutions in Canada. With approximately 690 employees working across twelve manufacturing sites throughout Canada, Bailey will reinforce Saint-Gobain’s commitment to growth in the country, adding more than C$500 million in revenues.

With today’s announcement, Saint-Gobain has successfully completed its third major acquisition in Canada in the last three years. These include the acquisition of Kaycan (2022) a leader in siding and exterior solutions and Building Products of Canada (2023) a major manufacturer of residential roofing shingles and wood fiber insulation panels. All three additions complement CertainTeed Canada’s extensive portfolio of interior building materials, and Bailey will further enrich Saint-Gobain’s full-range offer of interior and exterior solutions.

The Bailey Group of Companies, which will continue to operate under its current brand name, joins the local North American construction business, within the Americas region.

Today’s announcement follows several other recent growth investments announced by Saint-Gobain in Canada:

• In February, Saint-Gobain completed the installation of a recovery system at its gypsum facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, expected to reduce Scope 1 carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.
• In September, Saint-Gobain completed the $1.325 billion acquisition of Building Products of Canada Corp., reinforcing its leadership in light and sustainable construction in Canada.
• In 2022, Saint-Gobain announced the acquisitions of both Kaycan and GCP, strengthening its leadership positions in siding and construction chemicals respectively in both Canada and the United States.
• In June 2022, Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed Canada announced an investment to upgrade equipment at its gypsum facility outside Montreal, which will increase the plant’s production capacity by up to 40%. The plant will also transition away from fossil fuels to solely being powered by renewable electricity from Hydro-Quebec, making it the first zero-carbon wallboard plant in North America for scopes 1 and 2 emissions. Work on this project is currently underway.

With over 145 manufacturing locations in Canada and the United States, every current and future member of the company’s team plays a vital role in achieving its sustainability goals. A current list of job openings at all Saint-Gobain locations can be found on the company’s careers website.

Leader in transport automation will share preconstruction design methodologies that save time and money

WHISTLER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TransLogic™, a Swisslog Healthcare company and a leading supplier in transport automation, will be showcasing its expertise in healthcare design at the 2024 Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society (CHES) BC Annual Trade Show and Education Forum in Whistler. The event is expected to gather hundreds of engineering experts in the healthcare industry to discuss best practices in designing and constructing hospitals and other care facilities.

TransLogic will participate in the event’s Exhibition Hall June 2-4, 2024, at booth #99 at Whistler Conference Centre, 4010 Whistler Way, Whistler, BC, and invites engineering professionals specializing in healthcare planning, design, and construction to explore the advantages of its Design Assist service. This preconstruction consultative offering brings transport experts into the early stages of building design, fostering collaboration that enhances overall project efficiency, ensures long-term serviceability, and proactively addresses potential future challenges.

“The engineering of healthcare facilities can be extremely complicated and nuanced, especially when considering specific needs like a building’s pneumatic tube system,” said Jesse Kora, Building Information Modeling (BIM) Manager at TransLogic.

Pneumatic tubes are used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to transport materials quickly, such as blood samples, medications, and more. TransLogic works with decision-makers in the hospital and healthcare maintenance and construction industry to consult with the project team to ensure consideration of the tube system vision. This includes running simulations, creating 3D models, and coordinating directly with engineers to ensure the tube system design can meet space planning, performance, and serviceability needs.

“These tube systems transport important medications and samples throughout a hospital, and they are an engineering feat. We are looking forward to sharing our expertise about how best to plan for and incorporate transport automation systems in the preconstruction design process,” continued Michael Fedoruk, Regional Sales Director, Canada at TransLogic.
