What Nemetschek does

German maker of software for architecture, engineering, construction and media/entertainment (BIM software).

Is moving from perpetual licences plus annual maintenance to subscriptions, so revenue recognised over time rises as customers convert. Brands such as Allplan, Vectorworks, Graphisoft and Bluebeam run as independent units under the group. Founder Georg Nemetschek's family foundations hold a large stake.

What could go right

  • Cloud subscription transition (recurring revenue growth)
  • Construction digitalization demand

What could go wrong

  • Construction industry cyclicality
  • Competitive pressure from Autodesk's scale

Moat: narrow (switching costs, installed base, brand). Design/BIM software gets deeply embedded in firm workflows, creating high switching costs.
