Global construction is a $16 trillion industry that sits on the critical path of the decades' biggest shifts: the AI data center buildout, manufacturing's re-industrialization, the defense boom and the race to scale energy. Buildots' AI platform is the control tower for these large-scale construction programs, giving the world's largest builders a verified picture of what's happening on site so they can run projects on objective data rather than instinct.
100+ of the world's largest firms already use Buildots, including hyperscalers and other owners like Intel and Digital Realty, as well as construction industry titans such as STO Building Group, JE Dunn, Mortenson, Bouygues and HOCHTIEF. Buildots gives them a single source of truth, delivering unique visibility and predictability. It lets them know sooner, act faster, and outperform, with real revenue and margin riding on every decision.
The stakes are growing as the world re-industrializes. On AI data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, energy infrastructure and other mission-critical projects, construction has become more complex, timelines are shorter, and more is at stake, accelerating the need to change construction's service model. In this environment, seven-figure, portfolio-wide, multi-year agreements are now the norm for Buildots, not the exception.
"It will soon be inconceivable that anyone managed a construction portfolio without Buildots," said Roy Danon, CEO and Co-founder of Buildots. "That shift was already underway before the AI buildout, but the buildout has poured rocket fuel on it. Buildots is now used across residential, commercial and – of course – mission-critical projects worldwide, on jobs of every size, from single sites to entire portfolios. The blind spot we solve for a data center is the same one that's been costing a school or a hospital for decades, just at much greater scale, which is why the world is finally paying attention. The AI era will be built on schedule."
A feedback loop between the physical and digital worlds
Buildots creates a feedback loop between the physical and digital worlds through its proprietary AI, built on eight years of data from real construction sites, not scraped from the internet or borrowed from general-purpose models. That data advantage can't be shortcut. Its computer vision models turn video footage into a digital twin of each project, interpreting construction schedules, 3D models and site imagery together to classify hundreds of types of work. This replaces fragmented reports, manual inspections and subjective assessments with a single, continuously updated view of where a project stands and accurate forecasting of where it is heading.
For customers, the ROI is material. On a billion-dollar project, for example, even small execution improvements can translate into substantial economic value. Earlier visibility creates more time to recover delays, and better progress data improves the deployment of people and capital. Portfolio-level intelligence allows executives to identify risks across multiple projects before they become costly.
Construction's missing infrastructure
Buildots is set to become indispensable infrastructure for its customers, as fundamental to running their business as financial or procurement systems. Getting there means scaling in three directions:
- Wider: into more of the world's largest portfolios across North America and EMEA
- Deeper: across the full construction lifecycle, from bidding to handover
- Higher: into the business-level intelligence that lets leadership run their whole portfolio the way a factory floor is run: measured, consistent, improving on itself
Ziv Kop, Managing Partner at O.G. Venture Partners, said: "In 20+ years of backing category-defining companies, the pattern is always the same: the winners build the foundational technology layer that everyone else ends up depending on. Buildots is that layer for construction, trained on a volume and quality of site data that nobody else has."
The round adds two new investors to Buildots' cap table: Human Capital, the San Francisco firm behind companies applying AI to the physical world (SpaceX, Neuralink and Anduril among them), and Mohari Ventures. The company's investor base also includes TLV Partners, Future Energy Ventures, Maor Investments and Tidhar, all long-standing backers of Buildots.
