U.S. CAD

U.S. CAD operates as the US division of ARKANCE, a global network of AECO specialists founded by the Colas Group. Its core business involves reselling and supporting Autodesk, Bluebeam, and Egnyte software for architecture, engineering, and construction clients. The firm serves over 15,000 businesses globally, with US headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, and additional offices in Irvine and Boston. Strategy focuses on technology-driven transformation and sustainable growth for AECO organizations. It offers industry-specific solutions across architecture, general contracting, civil infrastructure, public sector, engineering, specialty contracting, and facilities management. The firm also develops proprietary IP such as the Be.Smart Connector for Autodesk Forma and Bluebeam, enabling PDF collaboration between the two platforms. Team and scale details remain undisclosed. A recent operational event: in 2025, ARKANCE announced the acquisition of U.S. CAD, integrating it into a global platform with operations across North America, Europe, and Asia (per ARKANCE, 2025). The firm runs a regional structure under the ARKANCE brand, with dedicated teams in the US. A structural differentiator is its parent company, Colas Group, a global construction and civil engineering firm. This gives U.S. CAD a direct link to an end-user of the technology it sells, potentially informing product development and service delivery.
