What 福井コンピュータホールディングス（株） does

Fukui Computer Holdings, Inc. is a publicly traded Japanese holding company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that consolidates three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries focused on construction industry software: Fukui Computer Architect (residential and commercial architectural CAD), Fukui Computer (civil engineering and surveying CAD), and Fukui Computer Smart (service platforms and election systems). The group serves Japanese construction professionals across housing manufacturers, power builders, architectural design firms, surveying companies, civil construction contractors, and government agencies, with software deployed at more than 30,000 companies and 120,000 individual users. Distribution is handled through seven regional sales offices across Japan (Hokkaido, North Kanto, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku-Shikoku, Kyushu) supplemented by a dealer network and major distributors such as 大塚商会, with the call center processing approximately 210,000 customer inquiries annually.

The group's core technology stack centers on construction-focused CAD and BIM software localized for Japanese building codes, construction practices, and regulatory workflows. Flagship products include ARCHITREND ZERO (3D residential CAD with integrated structural calculation, energy performance, ZEH compliance, and confirmation application modules), GLOOBE Architect/Construction (a domestic Japanese BIM system launched in 2009/2020 with native Revit and IFC interoperability, ICT construction machine integration via LandXML), and the TREND-ONE/TREND-CORE family (surveying and civil engineering CAD with BIM/CIM support). The company maintains broad third-party interoperability (Revit, ARCHICAD, Vectorworks, Jw_cad, Topcon, Nikon Trimble, Kobelco) and operates the 3Dカタログ.com platform aggregating 3D product data from major building material manufacturers including LIXIL, Panasonic, TOTO, and YKK AP, plus the FC Apps Direct marketplace serving 30,000 companies and 120,000 users.

The business model is a hybrid of perpetual software licenses (ARCHITREND ZERO base priced at ¥900,000) and subscription/term-licensed products (¥96,000–¥216,000 annually) layered with recurring support contracts, a marketplace platform, and a 3D catalog premium service. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise transactions and standardized for subscription tiers. Beyond core construction CAD, the group operates an election reporting system and a vacant-home renovation visualization service employing image-generation AI (空家メタバンク). The company is undergoing a merger with DAITEC Holding Co., Ltd. announced February 2026 and approved at the 47th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2026, which would significantly expand the group's scale.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Trimble: Provides Trimble Business Center and surveying instrument ecosystem that integrates directly with Fukui Computer's TREND-ONE/GLOOBE Construction via LandXML/SIMA. Trimble is both a partner and a competing surveying/Civil-BIM platform.
• DAITEC / DAITEC Holding: Direct Japan construction-CAD peer and merger counterparty. Combined with Fukui Computer, the merged entity would dominate Japanese construction vertical software — pre-merger, the two compete head-to-head in construction-phase CAD.
• Bentley Systems: Provides OpenCities, OpenRoads, and iTwin for civil/infrastructure BIM and digital twins — directly comparable to Fukui Computer's TREND-CORE, TREND ROAD Designer, and CIMPHONY Plus products serving the surveying/civil segment.
• Topcon Corporation: Japanese surveying-instrument and ICT-construction-machine maker that is both a strategic partner and adjacent competitor to Fukui Computer's TREND-ONE and GLOOBE Construction workflows in Japan.

Emerging players

• Bricsys (Hexagon): BricsCAD targets the same 2D/3D general-CAD seat that ARCHITREND and GLOOBE occupy in Japan, and is gaining traction as a lower-cost DWG-native alternative among Japanese architectural firms.
• Vectorworks (Nemetschek): Listed in Fukui Computer's IFC interoperability list; competes with ARCHITREND ZERO among Japanese architectural design firms, particularly in mid-market and design-led studios.

Others

• Otsuka Corporation (大塚商会): Major Japanese IT distributor and channel partner that resells Fukui Computer products (and many competing solutions) into SMB construction accounts. Important for understanding distribution economics rather than direct product competition.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Global leader in CAD/BIM (AutoCAD, Revit) with strong penetration among Japanese general contractors and large design firms. Fukui Computer competes with Revit for commercial BIM while differentiating on Japan-specific code compliance and survey-to-FM integration.
• Dassault Systèmes: CATIA/Solidworks parent with a construction-industry push into infrastructure BIM (3DEXPERIENCE). Competes for the same large Japanese GC and AEC-Owner accounts as GLOOBE Architect in the higher-end commercial segment.
• Nemetschek Group (GRAPHISOFT): Owns ARCHICAD and Allplan, the leading European architectural BIM platforms. ARCHICAD is named in Fukui Computer's IFC-interoperable integration list, making Nemetschek a primary competing architectural-BIM vendor at the global design-firm level.
