January 20, 2026 – OpenAsset, the leading digital asset management and AI proposal writing provider for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms, today announced the establishment of its first Australian office in Melbourne and the appointment of Liam Nicholls as Director of Australia Operations. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the company as it strengthens its commitment to customers across the Asia-Pacific region.

Built in the UK and expanded toward the US, OpenAsset has grown from its British roots to become a trusted partner for AEC firms worldwide, serving customers in 22 countries. The company has maintained strong relationships in Australia since 2008, working alongside partners in the region for many years. 

With a strong customer base in Australia and a growing presence across the broader APAC region, the Melbourne office represents OpenAsset's dedication to providing localized support and deepening partnerships in this key market.

"We've been privileged to work with incredible AEC firms across Australia for years, and now it's time to meet that trust with a deeper commitment," said Jason Janicki, CEO of OpenAsset. 

“Every AEC firm in APAC needs an AI marketing platform to compete in today's market, and we're here to give our customers the partnership, innovation, and support they need to lead their industries.”

The Melbourne expansion reflects OpenAsset's core values of unparalleled customer experience and fostering AEC industry collaboration. The company's product roadmap is driven by customer feedback and needs, and the new local presence will enable an even closer partnership with APAC customers to shape future innovations.

As Director of Australia Operations, Liam Nicholls will lead the company's regional growth strategy and customer engagement efforts from the Melbourne office. 

"I'm thrilled to be joining OpenAsset at such an exciting time," said Nicholls. 

"The AEC community in Australia is world-class, and I'm honored to help strengthen the partnerships between OpenAsset and the firms shaping the built world. Our mission is to become an impactful addition to the Australian AEC community, supporting the incredible work happening here with tools that unlock creativity and drive growth."

The company's approach extends beyond customer service to community involvement. Just as the company is engaged in the tech and business communities of London and New York City, it is excited to join Melbourne's vibrant technology ecosystem and contribute to the city's reputation as a hub for innovation.
