Chicago, Ill. — BuildCentral, Inc. (“BuildCentral”),  the U.S.-based, lead-generation and market-research subsidiary of the Ljusdal, Sweden-based Byggfakta Group (OM: BFG) (“Byggfakta”), is proud to announce the recent acquisition of Bid Ocean, Inc.

“We at BuildCentral are excited to welcome BidOcean and NAPC to our family, especially in light of our recent acquisition of Quest CDN. Together, the business will create the most comprehensive construction bidding platform in North America.” — Damian Eastman, CEO North America Byggfakta Group.
