BuildData Group, a leading provider of construction and property management software across the UK and Ireland, has announced its acquisition of DFM Systems, a trusted Irish business specialising in handover, quality, and asset management solutions.
This acquisition aligns with BuildData Group’s strategy of acquiring high-performing businesses with strong leadership and well-established market positions. Recent acquisitions include Zutec in 2020, Createmaster and Resi-Sense in 2021, Bond Bryan Digital in 2022, and the privatisation of Zutec Holding in 2023.

By collaborating with its sister company Zutec, DFM Systems will strengthen its support for customers on their journey towards digitisation and compliance, offering integrated solutions for document management/CDE, quality management, handover management, and asset management.
“DFM Systems is a highly regarded business in the Irish market built over 20 years by its Managing Director, Bobby Gallagher, and the team, who we welcome to our company. I am pleased that Bobby will be joining our senior management team with particular oversight of the Irish market. The acquisition of DFM Systems aligns perfectly with our ambitious growth strategy and reinforces our commitment and presence in Ireland, where we will continue investing in product, customers and our employees,” said Gustave Geisendorf, CEO of BuildData Group.

Having got to know BuildData well, we are convinced that this milestone provides a promising partnership that will allow for a bright and fruitful future for all DFM stakeholders, including our employees and customers. Being part of a bigger group means we can now benefit from broader expertise and capital for growing our business. Finding a partner with an equal belief in the Irish market is reassuringly positive and exciting.”
