Buildcheck Raises $5.9M to Launch AI-Powered Construction Design Review Platform

Buildcheck AI, Inc. (“Buildcheck”), an AI-powered construction design review platform, today announced it has raised $5.9 million in seed funding, led by Uncork Capital with participation from Peterson Ventures and Xfund, alongside strategic angel investments from founders and senior executives at OpenAI, Opendoor, CBRE, Zillow, and more.

Buildcheck’s AI platform analyzes construction drawings across all major disciplines — architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing — performing hundreds of checks that detect errors, omissions, and coordination issues, catching costly conflicts human reviewers typically miss. Already serving more than 50 paying customers, including AvalonBay Communities and Novo Construction, Buildcheck delivers 10–35x ROI by preventing field issues during pre-construction.

“General contractors and commercial real estate developers are facing increasing challenges with design quality, accuracy, and errors, and we could not be more thrilled with the response and rapid adoption of our technology, saving our customers time, money, and headaches throughout the pre-construction process,” said Alexander Michalatos, CEO and co-founder of Buildcheck. Michalatos’ background includes managing technical scopes on major construction projects, such as Canada’s $600 million North Island Hospitals.

Michalatos and co-founders Andrei Molchynsky and Alex Gureev combine deep construction management experience with advanced AI development to bridge the persistent gap between how projects are designed and how they’re built.

“Our AI analyzes 2D drawings like an experienced construction professional — but faster, more consistently, and across every discipline simultaneously. Our technology isn’t just automating review; it’s setting an entirely new standard of accuracy and efficiency in pre-construction, and it’s rewarding to see the industry embrace an innovation we’ve made possible,” said Gureev, who leads the company’s AI development.
