Buildots provides an AI and computer-vision platform that processes images captured from 360-degree cameras mounted on managers’ hard hats to track construction progress and forecast issues. The system includes a chatbot for project-status queries and predictive tools that alert teams to delay risks and pacing problems. Founded in 2018 and based in Chicago, the company counts Intel and roughly 50 construction firms among its clients. Buildots has grown to over 230 employees and plans to expand its North American operations with a focus on growing R&D teams. The company intends to use historical project data to train models that benchmark and optimize construction performance and to extend its product to cover more stages of the construction lifecycle. Buildots positions itself as an operations-focused platform for performance management in construction and competes with firms such as BeamUp and Versatile. Buildots is an Israel- and U.K.-based AI construction company that deploys 360-degree cameras and computer-vision models to build digital twins of job sites and track project progress. It works with large contractors such as Pomerleau, NCC and Ledcor to identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows. The company recently launched an AI-powered "delay forecast" feature that in beta tests reduced delay times by up to 50% in some scenarios. Buildots is six years old and has pursued multiple financings to scale its product and deployments. Prior to the new round it had raised around $106 million, including a $60 million tranche two years ago. The firm positions its technology as a way to drive efficiencies and cost savings on large, complex construction projects. Buildots, founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, Aviv Leibovici and Yakir Sudry, builds an AI platform that uses hardhat-mounted 360-degree cameras and computer vision to capture and analyze construction-site progress. The platform ingests project schedules, designs and site footage to generate a model of an active site and automatically compare on-site conditions to plans, with automated blurring of people for compliance. Buildots offers two-way integrations with planning tools including Oracle Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject and Microsoft Project to enable instant timeline updates and monthly progress reports to validate subcontractor payments. The company says it has operated across North America, Europe, Asia‑Pacific and the Middle East, collecting diverse datasets to improve its AI models. Buildots reported that revenue grew tenfold in 2021 while its customer base expanded to “dozens” of contractors. The team has more than doubled over the past year, recently surpassing 200 employees and planning to reach about 300 by the end of 2022; new funding will be used for product development and expansion in Europe and North America. Buildots is a three-year-old construction-technology company headquartered in Tel Aviv and London that uses AI and computer-vision to monitor construction sites via hardhat-mounted 360-degree cameras. Its algorithms automatically validate captured images against original designs and schedules to detect gaps and out-of-spec work, creating a single source of truth for project teams. The platform surfaces installation errors, helps streamline payments, and aims to reduce blaming and inefficiencies on sites. Buildots is deployed on major building projects across the U.S., U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia and China and works with four of the top 10 construction companies globally. The company reported more than 50% quarter-over-quarter growth over the past year in three countries where it operates. To meet demand it plans to continue international expansion, double its global team with a focus on sales, marketing and R&D, and explore applications beyond construction. Buildots is a Tel Aviv- and London-based startup founded in 2018 that uses hardhat-mounted 360-degree cameras and computer vision to modernize construction management. Its software creates a digital twin from architectural plans and schedules and compares site imagery to detect missing fixtures or schedule deviations. The system handles construction-site constraints such as limited Wi‑Fi and three-dimensional positioning by using manual uploads and algorithms to determine floor-level context. The company has 35 employees and has expanded beyond Israel and the U.K. into projects in Poland and upcoming work in Japan. Financially, Buildots has raised $16M total (a previously unreported $3M seed plus a $13M Series A) led by TLV Partners. The team plans to scale the business and turn the data it collects into tools and workflows that support more roles on construction sites.
