Infield

What Infield does

Infield Co., Ltd. (株式会社インフィールド) is a private Japanese software company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Osaka, with a secondary office in Tokyo. The company develops and sells CAD software, estimation/material takeoff tools, and technical calculation software exclusively for the building equipment industry — specifically electrical, air conditioning (HVAC), and plumbing/sanitary contractors in Japan. Its product portfolio centers on the CADEWA series (3D/2D CAD for building equipment) and the CRAFT DX series (estimation 見積CRAFT DX and material takeoff 拾いCRAFT DX), supplemented by eco-Roshi (technical calculations compliant with MLIT standards), a PDF-to-CAD conversion utility, and PDF/CAD construction guideline data packages co-developed with Japanese industry associations.

The company's core technology is proprietary domain-specialized CAD software with integrated data flow from drawing creation through cost estimation and material takeoff. CADEWA Smart V4 (released 2022) introduced BIM-compatible capabilities and Autodesk Revit data interchange. Underlying the product suite is a content library of construction guideline PDF and CAD data (施工要領 PDF・CADデータ) developed under the supervision of the Japan Electrical Construction Industry Association and the Japan Association of Building Equipment Design. Infield monetizes primarily through one-time perpetual software licenses with version-upgrade campaigns, supplemented by paid CAD training courses (CADスクール, ~6,000 JPY per person), custom drawing services (図面作成サービス), and homepage/manual production services.

Infield's go-to-market is direct-to-customer in Japan only, reaching building equipment contractors through regional electrical equipment distributor trade fairs (exhibiting at dozens of events annually across 19+ prefectures), hands-on training sessions, and phone/email/fax-based inquiries. The company also recruits dealers (代理店募集) to extend its reach. Its end users are mid-market building equipment contractors who need to produce CAD drawings, perform material takeoffs, generate quotations, and ensure compliance with Japanese building standards — a workflow Infield addresses through an integrated single-vendor stack.

Core offering

Infield develops, sells, and supports specialized CAD, estimation, and technical calculation software for Japan's building-equipment (MEP) contractors — covering electrical, air conditioning, and plumbing systems. Its portfolio includes 3D/2D CAD (CADEWA Smart, CADEWA Real), estimation and material-takeoff tools (CRAFT DX series), technical calculation software (eco労師), construction-guideline PDF/CAD data, plus CAD training and custom drawing services.

Product overview

Infield provides a comprehensive portfolio of CAD and estimation software for building equipment (electrical, air conditioning, and plumbing systems). The core offering includes CADEWA Smart (3D CAD with BIM compatibility), CADEWA Real (2D CAD), and the CRAFT DX series for estimation (見積CRAFT DX) and material takeoff (拾いCRAFT DX). These products integrate with each other—CADEWA Smart generates data that flows into 見積CRAFT DX for estimation. Supporting modules include eco劳師 (technical calculations), 施工要領 PDF・CADデータ (construction guideline packages), and PDF drawing conversion tools. The company also offers CAD school training, drawing services, homepage production, and electrical construction manual creation services.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Global construction-software provider (Tekla, SketchUp, Trimble Connect). Comparable to Infield at the category level as a construction-software incumbent whose BIM and estimation tools compete for the same Japanese contractor productivity budget.
• Bricsys: Provider of BricsCAD, a DWG-compatible CAD platform used in construction and MEP. Comparable to Infield as an alternative CAD platform increasingly adopted by Japanese contractors seeking lower-cost DWG-native tools.
• Autodesk: Global leader in CAD and BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit). Comparable because CADEWA Smart V4 added Revit data linkage, making Autodesk a direct channel and feature competitor in Japanese MEP design workflows even though Autodesk is a broad incumbent.
• Bentley Systems: Provider of infrastructure and construction engineering software (OpenBuildings, AECOsim). Comparable as a broad incumbent whose building-equipment-adjacent tools overlap with parts of Infield's CAD-to-estimation workflow.
• Graphisoft (Nemetschek Group): Developer of Archicad, a BIM platform used by architectural and MEP designers. Comparable as a broad incumbent BIM vendor whose Japanese distribution increasingly overlaps with Infield's building-equipment contractor segment.

Others

• ダイキン工業 (Daikin Industries) - Software Tools Division: While primarily a HVAC equipment manufacturer, Daikin offers HVAC design and selection software used by Japanese MEP contractors. Comparable to Infield as an ecosystem participant serving the same Japanese building-equipment design workflow with adjacent (not directly competing) software.

Direct peers

• Dai-Tec (ダイテック): Japanese CAD software vendor specializing in architectural and construction design tools with similar channel and customer-base characteristics to Infield, competing for the same Japanese construction contractor wallet.
• Kenchiku Pivot (建築ピボット): Japan-based CAD and BIM software provider focused on architectural design. Comparable to Infield as a niche Japanese construction-software specialist targeting Japanese building design professionals.
• Fukui Computer (福井コンピュータグループ): Largest Japanese construction-focused CAD software provider, offering a broad suite of architectural, structural, and MEP design tools. Directly comparable to Infield as both serve Japanese construction design workflows with domain-specialized CAD, though Fukui Computer is significantly larger and broader in scope.

Regional players

• OYO Corporation (応用技術): Japan-based engineering and software firm active in civil and building information modeling. Comparable as a regional Japanese vendor serving overlapping construction-software demand, though its primary focus is civil engineering rather than MEP.
