Construcplan is a Swedish software developer of digital tools for construction planning, including solutions for roof measurement and estimation in line with local industry standards.

“We are proud to support SFS in yet another strategically important transaction in the Nordics. As digitalisation continues to reshape the construction industry, this acquisition positions SFS strongly for the next phase of growth in the Nordics. Our team worked efficiently across borders from A-Z during the entire deal.”

Benjamin Sieber, Head of Corporate Development & Investor Relations SFS Group Schweiz AG states:

“This is the third time we have Magnusson and Sam Jalaei to assist us with an acquisition in the Nordics, and we’ll definitely use Sam and his team again for the next deal. Sam and Magnusson are skilled and experienced M&A lawyers, very responsive combined with a commercial approach required to make cross-border deals happen.”

Magnusson’s Corporate M&A team undertook comprehensive legal due diligence and prepared the corresponding report, before assisting SFS with the drafting and negotiation of all transaction documents. As an essential and mandatory element of completing the transaction, Magnusson successfully handled the relevant foreign direct investment (FDI) application to the Swedish Inspektionen för Strategiska Produkter (ISP).

The acquisition enhances SFS Group’s digital offering within the Northern European construction industry.

Magnusson congratulates all parties on this closing ahead of the 2025 winter holidays and celebrates the strengthening of SFS’ presence in the Nordics.
