Value proposition
AI-powered construction intelligence platform that uses computer vision and deep learning on site imagery to give leaders objective, near-real-time visibility into construction progress, risk, and workforce deployment — reducing delays by up to 50% on complex megaprojects.
Products and solutions
Buildots (construction intelligence platform), Buildots Field (workforce intelligence, safety and logistics), Capture Services (fully managed site captures), solutions for data centers, commercial, multifamily, healthcare, industrial, education, airports
Unique value
Element-level progress accuracy with forecasting rather than documentation, and owner-grade credibility on megaprojects — connecting BIM, schedule, site data, and workforce insights into one coordinated system.
Target customer
Construction project owners, general contractors, construction management firms, and executives managing large-scale projects (data centers, semiconductor fabs, hospitals, commercial buildings)
Industries served
Data centers, semiconductor/advanced manufacturing, healthcare, commercial, multifamily, industrial, education, airports
Technology advantage
Computer vision and deep learning algorithms that analyze site imagery against BIM models and schedules to deliver objective progress data, advanced risk detection, and trade/contractor management — with forward-deployed on-site support teams.
How they differentiate
Element-level accuracy, forecasting rather than documentation, and owner-grade credibility on megaprojects; forward-deployed on-site support teams; deep focus on data-center and semiconductor-fab builds where delay costs are extreme.
Main competitors
OpenSpace, Doxel, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, ALICE Technologies, Togal.AI
Key partnerships
Intel Capital (investor), Digital Realty (customer/webinar collaboration), acquired Genda (workforce and safety management platform), deployed with hyperscalers and major contractors worldwide
Notable customers
Intel, Digital Realty, STO Building Group, JE Dunn, Mortenson, Bouygues, HOCHTIEF, Tidhar, Ashtrom, Azrieli, Mivne
Major milestones
Founded 2018 by three Talpiot-program graduates, raised $130M in Sept 2026 led by Eyal Ofer's O.G. Venture Partners at ~$1B valuation, multi-year streak of 3x annual revenue growth, ranked third on Calcalist's promising startups list for 2025, used by 100+ large organizations, acquired Genda.
Growth metrics
Multi-year streak of 3x annual revenue growth; deployed by 100+ large organizations; reduces delays by up to 50% (2-3 months prevented per average project); 12+ countries serviced
Market positioning
Positioned as the premium, owner-grade construction-intelligence layer for megaprojects, differentiated from lighter-weight reality-capture tools (OpenSpace, Doxel) by element-level accuracy, forecasting, and credibility on data-center and fab builds.
Geographic focus
Global, with strong presence in US, Israel, and Europe
Patents and IP
Multiple patents assigned to Buildots Ltd.; granted US 12,505,575 B2 (Dec 23, 2025) 'Determining position of an image capture device' (inventors Yakir Sudry, Roy Danon); additional filings/apps on interactive construction GUI and imaged object location. PitchBook: ~5 granted, ~6 pending families.
