Construction tech provider Causeway Technologies has expanded further into Europe with the acquisition of LetsBuild Aproplan.

The Buckinghamshire firm said the deal extends its reach across Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

LetsBuild Aproplan is a field management tool for construction and infrastructure organisations.

It has more than 900 customers and helps teams manage quality, safety and site inspections by enabling users to create and complete checklists, log snags or issues with photo evidence and generate detailed reports directly from the construction site.

“We’re delighted to welcome LetsBuild Aproplan to Causeway,” said Causeway COO Ollie McGovern (pictured). “We share a clear vision for a better connected construction industry, focussed on bringing teams, tools and information together to drive greater efficiency and productivity across our industry. 

“This acquisition strengthens our commitment to improving how information flows across the construction process – leveraging the CausewayOne platform to connect on-site activity with back-office decision-making through a single, joined-up data backbone.”

This transaction represents the sixth strategic acquisition by Causeway since Five Arrows made a significant investment in Causeway in 2021. 

Causeway was founded in 1999 by chief executive Phil Brown. It now serves over 3,000 customers globally and has 500 employees.

Lars Rolf Jacobsen, CEO of LetsBuild Aproplan, said: “Joining Causeway gives LetsBuild Aproplan the opportunity to grow into new markets while continuing to support the many customers who rely on it today. 

“We have always believed in giving construction teams simple, reliable tools that improve how work gets done, and Causeway brings the scale and focus needed to accelerate that mission. 

“Uniting our technology and experience creates a strong platform for continued growth and even better outcomes for customers.”
