Buildots has set its sights on covering more of the construction lifecycle and turning portfolio data into business-level insights after raising another $130m.

The business wants to become “indispensable infrastructure” for its customers, as fundamental to running their business “as financial or procurement systems”. To achieve this, Buildots plans to scale in three directions:

into the business-level intelligence that “lets leadership run their whole portfolio the way a factory floor is run: measured, consistent, improving on itself”;

across the full construction lifecycle, from bidding to handover; and

into more of the world’s largest portfolios across North America and EMEA.

In the past two years, Buildots has consistently added functionalities to its platform far beyond its initial offer of progress monitoring via hard-hat-mounted cameras, including: portfolio dashboards; underground utility tracking service; workforce insights following its acquisition of Genda; integrated tracking that unifies automated AI with manually in-the-field recorded data; and a GenAI assistant.

Buildots’ UK customers include Sir Robert McAlpine, Multiplex and Wates.

“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 centre 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.”

The latest $130m fundraise means Buildots has raised a total of $297m since its inception. The latest funding round was led by O.G. Venture Partners, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intel Capital, Mohari Ventures, Human Capital, Qumra Capital, Avigdor Willenz, Viola Growth and Poalim Equity.

Ziv Kop, managing partner at O.G. Venture Partners, said: “In 20-plus 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.”
