BuildingPoint

What BuildingPoint does

BuildingPoint Australia Pty Ltd is the exclusive authorised distributor of the Trimble Buildings portfolio for Australia and New Zealand, operating as the construction-technology arm of privately held parent Herga Holdings Pty Ltd. The company sells, integrates, and supports Trimble hardware (XR10 mixed reality headset with HoloLens 2, X7/X9 3D laser scanners, Ri/RTS total stations, GNSS receivers, FieldLink-enabled tablets), Trimble collaboration software (Trimble Connect, Connect MR/AR, Reality Capture), and the Tekla structural modelling suite, alongside SketchUp, IDEA StatiCa, CivilPro, and the newly added ScaffPlan and Earlytrade partnerships. BuildingPoint also localises Tekla Structures for ANZ construction standards and operates Trimble Preferred Service Alliance repair centres across six Australian states.

The company serves AEC and Civil construction professionals across nine vertical segments, with general contractors, structural engineers, architects, MEP contractors, concrete contractors, steel fabricators, civil contractors, precast/steel detailers, and owners/developers as primary personas. Notable enterprise customers include Laing O'Rourke, Arup, Worley, GHD, Aurecon, CPB Contractors, Downer, Fletcher, and Dematic, alongside Australian government, Queensland Museum, and City of Melbourne deployments.

Revenue is generated across five streams: one-time hardware sales (e.g., Trimble XR10 at $8,385), recurring software subscriptions (e.g., Trimble Connect MR from $450/month), equipment rentals (total stations, scanners, tablets), certified repair and servicing, and training/education services. Go-to-market blends field-based direct sales across 8 Australian and 2 New Zealand offices, an inside-sales phone motion (1800 900 272), a self-serve e-commerce storefront for selected SKUs, event-led demand generation (Brew & Learn, webinars, Tekla BIM Awards ANZ), and the wider Herga Group channel of sister companies (SITECH, AllTerra in NZ, Information Alignment, CivilPro).

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Regional players

• Microsol Resources: North American Tekla/Trimble AEC software and BIM services reseller — narrower software-first peer that competes for Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect deployments analogous to BuildingPoint's design/engineering software line.
• Seiler Instrument: Long-standing Trimble surveying and construction technology dealer in the US Midwest — comparable authorised-distributor model serving AEC and survey customers with hardware, software, training and repair services.

Broad incumbents

• Ultimate Positioning Group: Sister company in the Herga Group focused on Trimble geospatial, surveying and 3D laser scanning in Australia — overlaps with BuildingPoint on scanning hardware (X7/X9) and survey-grade positioning products, with separate GTM focus on surveyors vs. AEC.
• Procore Technologies: Global construction management software platform whose Project Management, Quality & Safety and BIM products increasingly compete with Trimble Connect, ProjectSight, and Field View that BuildingPoint distributes — the largest pure-play software threat to Trimble's AEC stack in ANZ.
• SITECH Construction Systems: Sister company within the Herga Group and another Trimble distributor for Australia covering civil construction, mining, and machine-control — overlapping with BuildingPoint on Trimble hardware/software but with a different buyer persona (machine operators and civil contractors vs. AEC office/field).

Direct peers

• Position Partners: Australian AEC and geospatial technology distributor (Trimble partner, plus Topcon, Carlson and own brands) competing head-to-head with BuildingPoint on Trimble hardware sales, rentals and services across the ANZ construction and surveying market.
• KOREC Group: UK and Ireland Trimble distributor covering surveying, mapping, BIM and construction — operates an identical exclusive-Tribble-distributor business model to BuildingPoint, serving as a useful global benchmark for unit economics and channel reach.
• BuildingPoint (US / Trimble Buildings): US-based Trimble Buildings distribution and integration network (the original BuildingPoint brand, now largely integrated into Trimble itself) — same product portfolio and go-to-market motion as BuildingPoint Australia, providing a direct model benchmark for what scale and economics look like at maturity.
• AllTerra: BuildingPoint's New Zealand operating partner within the Herga Group; an authorised Trimble geospatial and construction distributor with offices in Auckland and Christchurch — operates a near-identical model to BuildingPoint but for the NZ market and adjacent verticals (surveying, agriculture).

Others

• GeoDirect: Australian Trimble accessories and consumables distributor referenced from BuildingPoint's own website; a supplier/adjacent channel partner that competes for the same Trimble hardware sales in the SMB and accessories segment.
