Nemetschek Group to Acquire HCSS

MUNICH (April 13, 2026) — The Nemetschek Group, a global vertical provider of AI-powered software solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AEC/O) and media industries, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Heavy Construction Systems Specialists LLC (HCSS) from Thoma Bravo, the world’s largest software-focused investment firm.

Headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, HCSS is a provider of construction software for the fast-growing infrastructure and heavy civil sectors in North America. Founded in 1986, HCSS supports more than 4,000 companies — from small firms to billion-dollar construction companies and general contractors — and employs more than 550 professionals. Its end-to-end platform plays a key role in enhancing efficiency, safety, and communication across infrastructure and heavy civil construction projects.  

HCSS will become part of the Nemetschek Group’s Build & Construct segment, which includes Bluebeam, GoCanvas (incl. SiteDocs) and Nevaris. Together, the solutions of the combined Build & Construct segment enhance collaboration and improve the quality of construction workflows both in the office and in the field. The addition of HCSS will further strengthen this portfolio and deepen its ability to help customers collaborate seamlessly and optimize processes across all project phases and types.  

The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
