MUNICH, July 14 (Reuters) - The German architecture and

construction software developer Nemetschek sees

potential for further acquisitions of up to 2.5 billion euros

($2.92 billion), its Chief Executive Officer Yves Padrines told

Reuters on Monday.

"With our balance sheet strength, and a possible capital

increase if required, we would have the strength to invest

between 2.0 and 2.5 billion euros in takeovers," Padrines said

in an interview.

"We are looking at everything in the Planning & Design and

Build & Construct segments," he added, saying that the bigger

acquisitions would fall under the latter, while Planning &

Design would see smaller deals.
