Buildots Secures $45M to Accelerate AI-Powered Construction Monitoring Platform

Israeli startup Buildots has raised $45 million in a new funding round, bringing its total investment to $166 million since its founding in 2018. The round was led by Qumra Capital, an Israeli venture capital firm making its first investment in the company. Existing investors including OG Venture Partners, TLV Partners, Poalim Equity, Future Energy Ventures, and Viola Growth also participated. U.S.-based Lightspeed Venture Partners and Intel Capital, which invested $15 million in Buildots last year, did not take part in the latest round. Qumra Managing Partner Boaz Dinte will join Buildots’ board of directors.

Buildots uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to monitor construction projects. Its system analyzes video footage from helmet-mounted cameras worn by site managers and compares the data with project plans and schedules. The platform tracks progress, identifies potential delays, and detects construction defects, allowing companies to cut project delays by roughly 50%, or about three to four months.

The company plans to quadruple its operations in North America in 2025 and expand its customer base, which includes Turner Corp., STO Building Group, JE Dunn, Samet, Mortenson, Ledcor, and Pomerleau. In the United Kingdom, Buildots has strategic partnerships with Sir Robert McAlpine and serves clients such as Wates, Kier, Multiplex, and IHP. In other European markets, clients include VINCI, NCC, Hochtief, GCC, and Bouygues Construction.
