Fletcher Building is creeping closer to its goal of taking over Australia's Crane Group.
The country's largest listed company's has had acceptances giving it more than 87% of the Australian plumbing and building products firm.
Seeking full control, Fletcher earlier this month scrapped its previous condition of reaching at least a 90% shareholding, which would have forced remaining investors to sell.
The offer, which values Crane Group at $A800 million ($1.1 million), closes on Wednesday.
