"I am extremely pleased to welcome the employees and clients of BIM One Consulting and BIM Track to the Newforma Holdings family," said Brock Philp, CEO of Newforma, "the Global AECO ecosystem is increasingly embracing BIM technology.

BIM One will continue to function as a standalone business with co-founder and CEO Jimmy Plante now reporting directly to Newforma's Brock Philp. Co-founder Carl Veillette, the rest of the BIM One leadership team, and their respective organizations, will continue to report to Mr. Plante.

"This acquisition demonstrates Newforma's commitment to continually evolve our technology offering as well to expand our reach across the AECO ecosystem," added Philp.

Jimmy Plante, co-founder and CEO of BIM One said, "We were attracted to Newforma as an acquirer because we share a software-agnostic approach that connects people to technology and fosters better project collaboration. Though we've focused on different areas of the collaboration problem, we have a shared mission of helping the industry solve interoperability issues. Joining forces with Newforma is sure to accelerate our growth as we continue to fulfill our missions as world-class technological leaders in the AECO industry," concluded Plante.
