Suke-Dachi Welcomes Offshore CAD

In a strategic move to bolster its offerings in the construction sector, Suke-Dachi, a leading construction labor matching platform based in Tokyo, has announced its acquisition of Offshore CAD. This partnership aims to leverage Offshore CAD's extensive experience in high-precision architectural drafting from their operations in the Philippines. With this acquisition, Suke-Dachi—and its CEO, Yoichi Agatsuma—is set to enhance its mission of making construction workplaces more appealing.

Background of the Acquisition

Suke-Dachi has been operating under the mission statement of “making construction sites attractive workplaces.” With over 220,000 registered businesses, it holds a remarkable share of the matching sector in the construction industry, connecting contractors with skilled labor. Their efforts have also been directed toward supporting major construction companies in securing manpower, particularly against the backdrop of a persistent labor shortage exacerbated by what is called the 2024 Problem, aimed at regulating overtime work.

Offshore CAD has built a solid foundation since its inception in 2007, focusing on providing architectural 2D CAD drafting services for Japan's general contractors and design firms. To date, they’ve accumulated over 870 projects, demonstrating their commitment to quality and efficiency. As labor shortages and productivity demands grow, particularly in drafting activities, the integration of Offshore CAD's expertise is particularly timely.

Synergies from the Join-Up

The collaboration is expected to generate powerful synergies in several ways:

1. Rapid and High-Quality Drafting Services: The introduction of Suke-Dachi CAD, a service providing swift and high-quality design and construction drawings, will directly address emergency requests from Suke-Dachi's client base, thereby enhancing project delivery times and reliability.

2. Comprehensive Coverage of Labor Shortages: This partnership expands existing services including Suke-Dachi's matching platform and employee recruitment assistance, effectively covering the multifaceted labor shortages in the construction industry. The goal is to position Suke-Dachi as a strategic partner committed to sustaining growth in this essential sector.

3. Advanced Drafting Technology Dissemination: Offshore CAD's technical know-how and innovative drafting skills will be made accessible through Suke-Dachi's established network of large clients, facilitating support for large-scale construction projects.

Leadership Messages

Yoichi Agatsuma, CEO of Suke-Dachi, elaborated on the acquisition saying, “The worsening labor shortage in the construction industry requires innovative responses beyond merely matching workers to companies. Our integration with Offshore CAD opens up broader opportunities to support various roles at construction sites.” He emphasized the importance of collaboration to enhance productivity and secure a sustainable workforce.

Hidetaka Hayashi, CEO of Offshore CAD, expressed excitement at joining the Suke-Dachi Group, reflecting on how the partnership aligns with their long-term mission. By combining their technological expertise with Suke-Dachi's vast talent-matching platform, they anticipate delivering consistent quality and timely services to a larger client base, addressing significant societal challenges along the way.

Future Outlook

Moving forward, both companies are keen on accelerating their expansion in architectural design and construction management support. They plan to bolster collaboration between existing services such as Suke-Dachi Academy and Suke-Dachi Employees along with the newly introduced Suke-Dachi CAD to construct a robust support system for the construction industry at multiple levels.

This comprehensive approach aims to not only improve productivity across the sector but also to enable a sustainable industrial framework. Ultimately, Suke-Dachi aspires to enhance its platform role within the construction ecosystem, firmly rooted in the belief that they can make “construction sites attractive workplaces.”
