What IDD Tech does

IDD Tech is an Australian construction-technology software vendor and a wholly owned subsidiary of CIMIC Group Limited (ASX: CIM), headquartered in North Sydney. The company develops an integrated digital delivery (IDD) portfolio for the construction, resources, and services sectors, comprising five core products: Cats (multi-user estimating and tendering with embodied-carbon modelling), Geosens (geotechnical monitoring with InSAR satellite integration and IoT/sensor data acquisition), Siterover (near-real-time site productivity and digital docket capture), ToBe Maps (augmented-reality visualisation of 3D BIM designs on site), and ToBe Builder (4D/5D collaborative construction simulation). These products are delivered on the Sensgrid platform, hosted on Microsoft Azure, and integrate with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Esri ArcGIS, Oracle Primavera, Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject, Trimble Connect, and Power BI. IDD Tech holds ISO 27001 accreditation covering its development and delivery processes.

The company operates an enterprise sales-led go-to-market, primarily selling into Tier 1 and 2 contractors, public and private asset owners, and resource operators across Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region. Revenue mechanics combine subscription pricing (Cats, per user per month), usage-based pricing (Geosens and Siterover, tied to monitoring points or data inputs), and professional services for implementation and training; pricing is negotiated per client with no public disclosure. Named deployments include 200+ projects across roads, rail, tunnelling, aviation, defence, resources, ports, power, renewables, and water, with CIMIC-affiliated operators CPB Contractors, Leighton Asia, UGL, EIC Activities, and Sedgman representing the largest installed base. The company employs 11–50 staff, was spun out as a market-facing entity from CIMIC's internal digital engineering function around 2021, and has continued to expand product surface (ToBe Maps 2022, ToBe Builder 2022/2024, Geosens enhancement 2022) and geographic footprint (Asia Pacific, including Asian data-centre infrastructure).

Products and services

• Cats Cats is a powerful multi-user estimating platform used across the construction, resources and services sectors. It provides a secure database environment where estimators build competitive tenders and add whole-of-life value through post-estimate forecasting and facilities management, with features including real-time analytics, embodied carbon calculations, MS Excel dynamic linking, 9-level resource build-up, and truck haul cycle simulation.
• Geosens Geosens is an intelligent multi-source data capture, analysis and reporting solution for real-time geotechnical condition monitoring and risk management. It automates geotechnical data storage, processing, sharing, visualisation and reporting, integrates with GIS, weather data, InSAR satellite ground movement measurement, and a wide range of geotechnical instruments, and delivers alarm notifications via email/SMS.
• Siterover Siterover is a productivity toolkit providing near-real-time reporting through digital capture of on-site data including time and quantities (materials, plant, and labour hours) via digital dockets and daily diaries. It is a web-based multi-user app with Power BI integration, subcontractor docket status tracking, and automated accruals.
• ToBe Maps ToBe Maps is an Augmented Reality app that enables users on site to view and share a 3D digital design (BIM) superimposed onto the real-world construction location using a mobile device. It uses vision algorithms and sensors for position tracking, BIM property inspection, depth occlusion detection, and supports 60+ formats including IFC, NWD, NWC, RVT, and SKP.
• ToBe Builder ToBe Builder is a planning and collaboration tool that integrates 3D, 4D, and 5D technologies to provide all stakeholders with a common virtual work environment to visually simulate multiple virtual construction options before deploying to site. It features BIM/GIS integration, keyframe animation resource library, and schedule import from Asta Powerproject, Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and Esri ArcGIS services.

• Procore: Procore is a leading construction management SaaS platform covering project management, productivity tracking, and field data capture — directly comparable to IDD Tech's Siterover productivity toolkit and integrated workflow offerings.
• Oracle Construction and Engineering: Oracle Primavera P6 is a leading scheduling tool integrated into IDD Tech's ToBe Builder. Oracle's broader construction suite (Aconex, Textura, Unifier) competes with multiple IDD Tech modules including planning and document management.
• RIB Software (Schneider Electric): RIB Software (now part of Schneider Electric) provides vertical construction software including iTWO estimating and project management, directly competing with IDD Tech's Cats estimating and ToBe Builder planning offerings.
• InEight: InEight provides construction project management software for capital projects and heavy infrastructure, overlapping with IDD Tech's combined planning, productivity, and risk management capabilities.
• Elecosoft (Asta Powerproject): Asta Powerproject is a leading construction planning/scheduling tool integrated into IDD Tech's ToBe Builder. Elecosoft's specialized construction planning software competes directly with IDD Tech's 4D planning capabilities.

Others

• Esri: Esri's ArcGIS platform is integrated into IDD Tech's ToBe Builder for GIS context. While not a direct competitor, Esri serves overlapping infrastructure customers and represents a complementary technology ecosystem partner.
• Microsoft (Azure): Microsoft Azure underpins IDD Tech's cloud infrastructure for Geosens and other products. As both an integration partner and underlying infrastructure provider, Azure represents a critical ecosystem dependency rather than a direct competitor.
