BuildData Group Completes Acquisition Of DFM Systems

Leading construction and property management software provider BuildData Group has successfully acquired DFM Systems.

As one of the most trusted building information management companies in Ireland, DFM Systems is a leading provider of handover, quality and asset management solutions in the Irish market. 

The acquisition of DFM Systems follows BuildData Group's successful strategy of acquiring growth businesses with strong management teams and market positions in its core markets.

Offering complementary and new solutions across contractors, developers, housebuilders and asset owners, DFM Systems defines and delivers digital data management and building information solutions throughout the building life cycle.

By working more closely with sister company Zutec, which BuildData Group acquired in 2020, both companies can provide additional support to their customers on their path to digitisation and compliance, connecting data across document management/CDE, quality management, handover management and asset management.

Gustave Geisendorf, CEO of BuildData Group, said: "The acquisition of DFM Systems aligns perfectly with our ambitious growth strategy and reinforces our commitment and presence in Ireland, where we will continue investing in product, customers and our employees.

"DFM Systems is a highly regarded business in the Irish market built over 20 years by its Managing Director, Bobby Gallagher, and the team, who we welcome to our company. I am pleased that Bobby will be joining our senior management team with particular oversight of the Irish market."

Bobby Gallagher, Managing Director of DFM Systems, added: "We are extremely pleased to join the BuildData family, which will bring additional credibility to our business.

"Having got to know BuildData well, we are convinced that this milestone provides a promising partnership that will allow for a bright and fruitful future for all DFM stakeholders, including our employees and customers.

"Being part of a bigger group means we can now benefit from broader expertise and capital for growing our business. Finding a partner with an equal belief in the Irish market is reassuringly positive and exciting."

BuildData Group's recent acquisitions include Createmaster and Resi-Sense in 2021, Bond Bryan Digital in 2022, as well as the take-private transaction of Zutec Holding in 2023.
