TriBuild Inc., Boulder, CO, a new player in the construction technology space with a focus on the electrical and mechanical trades, announced yesterday that electrical industry veteran Anthony Dubreville and construction tech industry veteran Patrick Bohle have joined the company.  Bohle, a former CEO of PERI Formwork, and Dubreville, a former CEO of Trade Service, a Trimble company, joined with Brad Couper, a former CEO of simPRO Software, to bring over 80 years of combined professional experience in construction technology. Tod Moore, another Trade Service veteran with decades of experience in the electrical market, also joined the Tribuild team as director of business development.

I am really excited to have both Tony and Pat join as management of TriBuild to extend our experience set and subsequent industry aspirations,” said Brad Couper, TriBuild’s president in the press release. Anthony Dubreville was appointed as our executive chairman and Patrick Bohle was appointed as our chief executive officer.”

The press release said that collectively, TriBuild’s management team has held executive positions with both public and private construction technology firms and has executed more than 45 mergers and acquisitions in excess of $1.4 billion of value. Leveraging the deep domain experience of its management team, TriBuild intends to build, distribute, and acquire technologies that will drive productivity changes throughout the construction workflow.
