“HCSS fills the missing middle where plans become production.”
That’s how Usman described the $2.4B Nemetschek + HCSS deal on this week’s Bricks & Bytes.
We sat down with Yves (CEO, Nemetschek Group) and Usman (Build Segment) to unpack the strategy behind one of the biggest construction tech deals of the year.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ Why Nemetschek structured this as a partnership with Thoma Bravo (28% rolled stake) instead of a clean buyout
✅ How HCSS slots in alongside Bluebeam, GoCanvas, SiteDocs and Nevaris
✅ The real prize — 40 years of proprietary heavy civil lifecycle data and what it means for vertical AI
✅ Usman’s blunt advice to founders right now (hint: not “PowerPoint or vibe-coded apps”)
