Allplan acquires Manufacton to boost offsite

Posted by Gianni Dessi

US firm’s AI and data-driven solutions designed to enhance offsite construction and prefabrication processes

AEC software specialist Allplan, part of the Nemetschek Group, has acquired, Manufacton, the US developer of an offsite construction platform that provides real-time visibility to offsite production and optimises prefabrication processes through AI and data-driven decision-making.

According to Allplan, the acquisition will enable it to capitalize on the potential growth in the modular construction and Design for Manufacturing (DfMA) sectors, strengthen its position in the US market, and provide Manufacton with a platform to expand its presence in Europe and Asia Pacific.

“We are delighted to welcome the Manufacton team to the Allplan family,” said Eduardo Lazzarotto, chief product and strategy officer at Allplan.

“Manufacton is a great fit and a perfect complement to our existing portfolio of construction solutions. This acquisition enhances our expertise in covering the entire product lifecycle and gives us a strong competitive advantage in the rapidly growing modular construction and DfMA markets.”

Manufacton provides integrated project management software for offsite construction and prefabrication. Its solution, used by general and specialty trade contractors, as well as modular builders, combines manufacturing production and construction project management software.

According to Allplan, this enables contractors to ‘seamlessly manage and track’ offsite construction and modular fabrication throughout the construction process.
