Ranked number 3 on Calcalist’s “50 Most Promising Startups of 2025”, Buildots has developed a platform powered by AI and computer vision to track the progress of construction projects automatically. Using footage from helmet cameras worn by site managers, the system analyzes and compares actual site progress with project blueprints and schedules. This helps detect delays, prevent defects, and provide real-time forecasting of project milestones. The company claims its technology can reduce delays by up to 50%, equating to three to four months saved per project.

Buildots has grown rapidly, driven by global demand for AI data centers and chip factories. According to sources, the company now generates tens of millions of dollars annually and grew at triple-digit rates last year. Intel’s investment followed a strategic agreement to deploy Buildots in the construction of its new semiconductor fabs.

Tech giants are a natural fit for Buildots, combining deep pockets with an urgent need for speed, scale, and precision. These firms are also more technologically inclined than traditional construction players, making it easier to adopt or mandate the use of platforms like Buildots among subcontractors.

In 2025, Buildots is on track to quadruple its North American presence, building upon its current client base, which includes top general contractors and project owners like The Turner Corp., STO Building Group Inc., JE Dunn Construction Group, Samet Corporation, Mortenson, Ledcor, and Pomerleau. This success is reflected worldwide. The company has also established strategic agreements with leading UK contractors, including Sir Robert McAlpine, as well as implementations with Wates, Kier, Multiplex and IHP. In Europe, it works with VINCI Construction, NCC, Hochtief, GCC, Bouygues Construction and more.

Founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, Yakir Sudry, and Aviv Leibovici - all graduates of Israel’s elite Talpiot military tech program - Buildots now employs over 200 people, including 150 in Tel Aviv and the rest across Europe and North America. The new funds will be used to expand R&D, recruit personnel, and accelerate global deployment.

“In the past year, we’ve gone from a project-level tool to signing multi-year, multimillion-dollar strategic agreements with global companies,” said CEO Roy Danon. “We believe this trend will accelerate, shifting the industry from reactive to proactive project management, avoiding delays before they occur. It’s a real revolution in traditional construction that could save companies billions.”

“We’re investing in Buildots because it has proven that its technology can deliver tangible ROI to the world’s largest construction firms,” added Boaz Dinte, Managing General Partner at Qumra Capital. “2024 was a pivotal year for Buildots. The team demonstrated strong fundamentals by achieving exponential growth and low customer churn, while also significantly expanding the platform. Buildots’ success is driven not just by its AI and computer vision capabilities, but by a relentless, forward-thinking team committed to reshaping construction – the kind of breakthrough that can redefine an industry.”
