Buildots

Buildots develops an AI-powered construction management platform that automates on-site progress tracking. Site managers wear 360-degree cameras mounted on their hard hats; each site walk produces footage that the platform processes and compares against project blueprints and schedules to measure actual progress, detect discrepancies and flag defects. Outputs include predictive performance metrics that alert teams to delay risks and pacing issues, plus a chatbot interface that lets stakeholders query project status.

The company positions the product as an operations and performance management layer for construction, aimed at moving decision-making from intuition toward objective site data. Its models are described as proprietary and trained on data collected from global construction sites, with quality-assurance layers applied to the resulting insights. Buildots states the technology can cut project delays by up to 50%, equivalent to roughly three to four months per project, and in one European case study saved a project more than €1 million. Following its 2025 Series D, the company said it is extending platform coverage to more stages of the construction lifecycle, using historical project data to benchmark and optimize performance across portfolios rather than individual projects.

Founding story

Buildots was founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, Aviv Leibovici and Yakir Sudry, who met through Israel's Talpiot military technology program and served together in technology units. After about a decade in service they set out to build a company addressing a traditional, underserved industry rather than cybersecurity, and settled on construction because of its visible inefficiencies. Over roughly a year they interviewed hundreds of industry professionals and found that project delays were a universally cited problem whose causes differed at every site. Their research identified recurring data points, including that 62% of tasks are completed later than planned and 52% of delays are within the project team's control, and that a project's likely delay could often be predicted within six weeks of entering its final stages.

Business model

Buildots sells its construction intelligence platform to contractors and project owners. The company reports a shift from project-by-project adoption toward long-term enterprise agreements, including multi-year, multimillion-dollar strategic agreements and multiple seven-figure deals signed in 2025.

Software platform sold to construction firms and owners, increasingly via multi-year enterprise agreements rather than single-project deployments.

Traction

The company works with around 50 construction firms and reported triple-digit revenue growth in 2024 with projected triple-digit growth for another year; Calcalist reported, based on sources, annual revenue in the tens of millions of dollars. Investors cite exponential growth and low customer churn in 2024. Growth drivers include the data center and semiconductor fab construction boom.

Latest developments

In May 2025 Buildots closed a $45 million Series D led by Qumra Capital with participation from OG Venture Partners, TLV Partners, Poalim Equity, Future Energy Ventures and Viola Growth, taking total funding to $166 million and adding Qumra's Boaz Dinte to the board. Proceeds are earmarked for R&D, hiring, expanding North American operations and extending the platform across more stages of the construction lifecycle. Subsequent company announcements describe the addition of laser scanning to the platform in partnership with NavVis and the commercialization of Genda under the Buildots Field brand for workforce, safety and logistics use cases.
