With over 220,000 registered businesses, it holds a dominant share in the construction matching sector. However, the industry currently faces severe labor shortages and, due to the '2024 Problem' related to strict overtime regulations, an urgent need for efficient drafting work.

## Synergies from the Group Join
The acquisition will create the following synergies:
1. Provision of 'Suka-dachi CAD': Providing swift, high-quality design and construction drawings to Suka-dachi's customer base.
2. Comprehensive solution to labor shortages: By adding 'Suka-dachi CAD' to existing services like 'Suka-dachi,' 'Suka-dachi Shain' (recruitment support), and 'Suka-dachi Gakuin' (education), Suka-dachi aims to be a strategic partner for the sustainable growth of the industry.
3. Distribution of advanced drafting technology: Utilizing Offshore CAD's know-how within Suka-dachi’s large-scale customer network.
