Trimble Acquires Software Firm e-Builder in $500M Deal

摘要

Trimble announced on Feb. 2 that it is acquiring construction-management software maker e-Builder in a $500-million all-cash transaction. As the developer of popular software for overseeing large construction projects, e-Builder has a significant presence in the public construction and major-capital project market, with more than $300 billion in active projects currently managed by its software suite. It recently reported a trailing 12-month revenue of $53 million. This will be a game-changer for the way construction is done," says Roz Buick, Trimble vice president for buildings. "It's a significant acquisition for us and has full support from within our organization. e-Builder's construction-management capabilities will truly transform how we handle construction in this industry."
