What Advae does

Advae is a Paris-based, privately held SaaS company that develops cloud-based collaborative construction project management software for building, infrastructure, rehabilitation, energy, and inspection professionals. The platform was formed in 2025 from the merger of Finalcad (a recognized BTP site-tracking brand with photo sharing, plan sharing, task assignment, and BIM coordination capabilities) and Wizzcad (a construction and certification field-application vendor). The unified Advae platform covers the full construction lifecycle — from estimation and invoicing through site follow-up, quality control, safety management, and rehabilitation tracking — with a particular focus on occupied-site rehabilitation and BIM interoperability. The firm serves 400+ companies including major European contractors and certifiers such as Vinci, Eiffage, Fayat, Besix, Demathieu Bard, and Bureau Veritas.

The underlying technology is a cloud-native SaaS stack deployed at enterprise scale, with field applications designed for autonomous, contextual site use. Differentiated features include BIM management integration, data-driven project analytics, and specialized occupied-site rehabilitation tracking. The platform has a developer portal and API ecosystem inherited from Finalcad. Additional offices are maintained in Lyon alongside the Paris headquarters. Advae does not publish pricing; revenue is generated through enterprise SaaS subscriptions under a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting BTP majors.

On March 4, 2025, Advae was acquired by Orisha Construction, the construction-vertical arm of the Orisha Group (which itself surpassed €300M in 2024 and is backed by TA Associates and Francisco Partners). The acquisition added 50 collaborators and folded Advae into a portfolio alongside Onaya BTP and DL Négoce, giving Advae access to over 500 active clients and 200,000+ daily users across 50+ countries. Cyril Perrin leads Advae as CEO, while Pascal Andires leads Orisha Construction at the parent level.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Primavera: Oracle Primavera is a long-standing enterprise platform for construction project scheduling, cost control, and program management. It competes with Advae for large contractor and owner-operator accounts, particularly on complex multi-project portfolios.
• B2W Software (now part of Hexagon): B2W (now under Hexagon's PPM division) provides estimating, operations, and field execution software for heavy civil construction. It competes with Advae's infrastructure and public works use cases among large specialty contractors.
• Trimble: Trimble provides a suite of construction software and hardware solutions spanning estimating, project management, BIM, and field operations. Its Trimble Connect and Viewpoint products overlap with Advae's lifecycle coverage and target similar enterprise construction customers.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud bundles BIM, project management, and field collaboration tools (including the former PlanGrid) for enterprise construction customers. It overlaps directly with Advae's BIM and site follow-up capabilities but is sold as part of Autodesk's broader design-to-construction portfolio.

Direct peers

• Dalux: Dalux offers BIM-based construction project management, field apps, and quality/safety tools, with strong adoption in Northern Europe. It competes head-to-head with Advae on BIM-driven site management and modern field user experience.
• LetsBuild: LetsBuild is a European construction project management and field collaboration platform targeting general contractors with site follow-up, quality, and safety workflows. It is a direct competitor to Advae, particularly in Northern Europe, with similar mid-market and enterprise customer profiles.
• Procore: Procore is a leading cloud-based construction project management platform serving general contractors, specialty contractors, and owners. Like Advae, its core offering spans project management, field collaboration, quality/safety, and document management for enterprise construction accounts.

Emerging players

• Fieldwire: Fieldwire provides construction field management software for task tracking, plan viewing, and inspections, serving specialty contractors and mid-market builders. It represents a more focused, mobile-first alternative to Advae's broader enterprise platform.
• Buildertrend: Buildertrend is a construction project management platform focused on residential and light commercial builders, offering project scheduling, customer communication, and financial tools. Its narrow residential focus contrasts with Advae's enterprise BTP positioning, but it competes in adjacent segments.
• ALICE Technologies: ALICE Technologies offers AI-driven construction scheduling and optioneering for large infrastructure and commercial projects. It is an emerging complement/competitor to Advae's project management and BIM workflows, particularly for complex, schedule-driven programs.
