Buildots

Overview

AI + computer-vision construction-management leader. 360° hard-hat cameras compare the jobsite against the BIM model and schedule to produce one objective source of truth, auto-updating P6/MS Project/Asta and flagging delays early. The focus company (★) of the ConTech landscape brief and the incumbent the construction-vertical analysis pivots on. HQ Tel Aviv; founded 2018; ~$166Mraised(SeriesD,$45M, May 2025, led by Qumra Capital). Est. revenue ~$42M (2025, third-party). Backers incl. Intel Capital, Lightspeed, Viola. Customers: Turner, JE Dunn, Mortenson, Intel fabs, hyperscaler data centers. Claims up to 50% delay reduction.

Relationships

• Acquired genda (Oct 16, 2025) to add real-time labor/equipment/safety data to its CV progress layer — “unified productivity intelligence.”
• Direct competitors in the capture lane: openspace, doxel, versatile.
• Adjacent (filling lanes): planera (AI scheduling/delay recovery).

Notes

• Strategic tell for our analysis: Buildots is racing to unify progress + labor + productivity on the GC/owner side, all built on data it captures. That makes the brain-as-moat argument weak for any product layered on its capture pipeline — but it is unlikely to move backward into the unstructured pre-construction document / contract-dispute layer. See construction-margin-protection-wedge.
• Has signaled expansion toward Stage 5 (handover/operations) and the recovery layer.
