MidEuropa construction software deal targets Czech data platform

MidEuropa construction software investment plans will focus on a Czech data and workflow platform being acquired from DEK Group, according to an announcement reported by PE Hub. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and brings together three businesses: ÚRS, First information systems and Callida.

The platform serves contractors, developers, cost estimators and public authorities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, according to the company. Its tools cover construction project work from early cost estimates and budgeting through project management and digital site diaries.

The company said the platform’s proprietary cost database is widely used for construction pricing and specifications in the Czech market. Such databases can be valuable in construction because they standardise cost inputs and technical references that buyers, builders and public bodies use when planning, tendering and monitoring projects.

What is MidEuropa buying in Czechia?

MidEuropa is buying a software and data platform built around ÚRS, First information systems and Callida. The assets combine construction cost information with software used to plan, price and manage building projects.

Construction software platforms typically help users organise estimates, budgets, documents, workflows and project records in one system. In this case, the data element is central: the company said its local construction database supports pricing and specifications, while its software is embedded in day-to-day processes across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

MidEuropa said it intends to back the platform’s next stage with spending on product development, AI-enabled functionality and selective acquisitions. The investment thesis, as described by the firm, rests on rising digitisation in construction and the increasing usefulness of reliable local data as artificial intelligence tools are adopted.

Marek Rodak, a partner at MidEuropa, said in a statement that the firm was drawn to the platform’s market position and proprietary data assets. He said those data assets create barriers for competitors and may become more useful as AI adoption rises in the construction sector.

Zbigniew Rekusz, a MidEuropa partner and head of its Warsaw office, said the deal reflected the firm’s confidence in Central European technology companies that hold strong domestic positions and have regional growth prospects.

Who advised MidEuropa on the deal?

MidEuropa was advised by VCP on M&A matters, according to the announcement. Kinstellar and Čavrak provided legal advice, EY advised on financial, tax and ESG matters, and Howden advised on insurance.

MidEuropa describes itself as an investor in Central Europe with a 25-year record. The firm has raised and managed more than €6.8 billion, completed 50 investments and made more than 290 add-on acquisitions across 20 countries, according to the company.

The deal adds to private equity interest in specialised software businesses where data, workflow integration and recurring use can support expansion. In construction, digitisation has been slower than in some other industries, and platforms that hold trusted local datasets may have a role in procurement, budgeting and project oversight, according to the rationale described by the company.
