Hexagon Strengthens its Construction Solutions Portfolio for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) Market with Bricsys Acquisition
- Hexagon Intergraph AB is a global leader in digital solutions for structural and process piping design. Bricsys is a fast-growing developer of computer-aided design software. With the acquisition, Hexagon strengthens its construction solutions portfolio for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) market.
- As reported earlier, Swedish Hexagon AB has acquired Bricsys. It goes without saying that this was the big talking point among everyone at Bricsys 2018.
- Hexagon PPM had a strong yet subtle presence in this year's conference in Paris. Earlier this year, they made news by porting their CADWorkx software on Bric.
Bricsys was acquired by Hexagon in October 2018. Bricsys’ CAD platform, BricsCAD, is a powerful.dwg-based CAD application offering familiar commands and user interface elements.
Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital solutions, today announced the acquisition of Bricsys, a fast-growing developer of CAD (computer-aided design) software that has been at the forefront of providing open, collaborative construction technology solutions since its founding in 2002.
Its CAD platform, BricsCAD®, supports 2D/3D general, mechanical, and sheet metal design and building information modelling (BIM) in one system. It’s 100% based on the de facto standard design format (.dwg), providing designers, engineers, and BIM professionals powerful access to the huge potential of vertical CAD applications created by thousands of third-party developers. Bricsys also offers its own set of time-saving, artificial intelligence-driven add-ons – from conceptual modelling to seamless BIM workflows and cloud connectivity.
With this acquisition, Hexagon strengthens its position as the No. 1 provider of enterprise-wide plant creation, engineering, construction and asset management solutions that enable quick and easy creation of fully intelligent 3D plant models. In addition, Bricsys continues to enhance BricsCAD so that it works smoothly with CADWorx® which continues to meet ever more demanding design goals and provide the ability to explore new areas where there’s an opportunity to lower project costs.

Bricsys is the latest addition to the Hexagon group.
It’s been a month since Bricsys opened the Asia Pacific Head Quarter in Singapore. The office is located at Aperia Tower, close to the Central Business district, well connected with MRT & buses. The office place is buzzing with lots of food choices, coffee shops and Cold storage.
The BIM specialists used BricsCAD to design this office. Our goal is to make this place fun and exciting so that everyone looks forward to coming to work. Employees do have a choice of flexi-hours and work from home.
Bricsys is the fastest-growing division under Hexagon AB. While there is constant support from sister companies like Intergraph, the company is independent in many ways. This place offers a great combination of thrill and excitement of a start-up and the security of being part of a big organization.
Amidst the prevailing environment of uncertainties, budget cuts and the economic pressure, Hexagon-owned Bricsys is sending a strong signal to the CAD industry. With the steady expansion, they are growing their footprints all over Asia. Every three weeks, there is a new addition to the team somewhere in the region. By no means, has Covid19 slowed it down.
Joining Bricsys was a different experience. When we first joined, we were involved in doing interiors & designing the office. From the games corner to the colour of the cushions, all discussed among us. Now when we walk into this place, it feels like our own.
Every Friday, we have a Pizza day. We complement that with some fun games to make it more exciting.
In the words of our VP Chris Lee,” We will continue to accelerate our growth in the next few years”. That means we will continue to expand and hire in the same manner. There will be plenty of opportunities for employees to explore and choose roles as we continuously grow.
