BCI Asia

What BCI Asia does

BCI Asia, now operating under the Hubexo brand, is a construction data and SaaS company serving the Asia Pacific construction industry across nine markets (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines) with 14 offices. Founded in 1998 by Matthias Krups in Singapore as a printed project leads service, the company launched LeadManager in 2002 as one of the first cloud-based SaaS platforms combining live construction project data, company intelligence, and CRM capabilities. Hubexo/BCI Asia maintains the largest construction project database in the region, publishing 40,000+ projects per month across 14 sectors, supported by 200+ dedicated researchers; the broader Hubexo group employs 2,500+ people across 20+ countries.

The product portfolio centers on LeadManager (subscription SaaS for project leads, real-time alerts, customisable search across 14 sectors, decision-maker contacts, built-in CRM, Team Manager, Forecaster and Pipeline reports, Research Enquiry with 24-hour response, and a mobile app), supplemented by Analytix for historical data analysis and an events and reports program (Build Better events across 14+ cities, Hubexo Asia Awards, BCI Construction League, Construction Market Outlook, Forecaster, Pipeline, Sector Snapshots, Sentiment Survey). Through acquisitions the suite has expanded to include Archify and ArchifySpec for the design professional community, TenderSearch and eProcure for tendering and procurement, and Geospex for geospatial intelligence.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription fees for LeadManager and Analytix, plus professional services revenue from events, awards, and industry reports. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales with dedicated Account Managers, supported by 'Book a Demo' website conversion, a free Find Projects self-serve section, and the Build Better events program. The company is privately held by a private equity consortium (Stirling Square Capital Partners, TA Associates, Macquarie Capital) following the 2021 acquisition of the Byggfakta Group, which rebranded to Hubexo in 2024, with BCI Central fully unified under the Hubexo brand in Asia Pacific during 2025.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Largest public construction management platform spanning project management, financials, and field operations; broader incumbent that increasingly bundles intelligence/tendering features that overlap with LeadManager's contractor use cases.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Suite combining BIM 360, PlanGrid, BuildingConnected, and Assemble — incumbent platform increasingly consolidating project intelligence, bidding, and design-to-construction workflows that overlap with Hubexo's LeadManager and Archify offerings.

Direct peers

• Dodge Data & Analytics: Dodge (formerly McGraw-Hill Construction) provides construction project leads, market analytics, and specification data — historically the dominant US construction intelligence platform and the closest analog to LeadManager/Analytix in data depth and customer model.
• BuildingConnected (Autodesk): Autodesk-owned tendering and bid management network for commercial construction; competes directly with TenderSearch/eProcure within the LeadManager ecosystem for project bidding and supplier selection workflows.
• Reed Construction Data: Historic construction project data and intelligence provider with subscription reports, leads, and analytics — comparable business model of paid construction intelligence to industry buyers across multiple geographies.
• ConstructConnect: North America's leading construction project leads and bidding platform (iSqFt, CMD Group, Sweets) — directly comparable to LeadManager as a paid subscription SaaS feeding construction project intelligence and tendering workflows to contractors and suppliers.
• BidClerk: Construction bidding platform providing project leads, plans, and specifications to subcontractors and suppliers — subscription SaaS targeting the same downstream use case of finding and winning tenders that LeadManager addresses.
• iSqFt (now ConstructConnect): Construction bid management and project leads platform for subcontractors and suppliers, now part of ConstructConnect — directly comparable product offering for the subcontractor and supplier customer segments that LeadManager also serves.

Emerging players

• PlanRadar: European SaaS for construction and real estate project documentation, defect management, and task tracking — adjacent platform serving similar construction ICP with subscription SaaS model and strong international expansion story.
• Building Radar: AI-driven construction project leads platform focused on early-stage opportunity identification — emerging competitor targeting the same product-led use case of surfacing new construction tenders and specifications.
