Building Systems Design<\/a> (BSD), a provider of master guide specification content and software for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors, and building owners, is joining Germany-based RIB Group<\/a>, a company that develops cutting-edge digital technologies for the construction industry. RIB Group is acquiring the majority ownership of BSD.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to make collaboration easier, including through seamless building information modeling (BIM) integration and revolutionary cloud technology,\u201d said Chris Anderson, president of BSD.<\/p>\n

BSD sought an industry partner to fuel innovation and enhance the software\u2019s digital capabilities, and team up with an international company to support its global expansion.<\/p>\n

BSD\u2019s leadership team will remain at the helm of the company, unchanged, including CEO Chris Anderson, executive chairman Iain Melville, and chief innovation officer Arol Wolford.<\/p>\n

BSD will maintain its relationships with the Construction Specifications Institute<\/a> (CSI) and Construction Specifications Canada<\/a> (CSC), which will remain integral to the company\u2019s strategy and success. CSI and BSD are committed to continuing their long-standing strategic collaboration into this next phase. As a result of this new partnership, Caltius Structured Capital<\/a> will no longer be involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
