Israeli AI startup Buildots announced on Monday that it has completed a $130 million funding round, as the real estate AI and computer vision company sets its sights on an international market projected to reach approximately $1.4 trillion.
The funding round brings the total capital raised by the company since its founding in 2018 to about $297 million. The new funds are expected to support the continued development of its technology and system, as well as employee recruitment, marketing, and global expansion.
The latest investment round was led by O.G. Venture Partners, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intel Capital, Mohari Ventures, Human Capital, Qumra Capital, Poalim Equity, Viola Growth, and Avigdor Willenz.
Buildots has developed a system that bridges the physical world and the world of AI, creating a unified, shared status report for all parties involved in a real estate project, including the developer, main contractor, and subcontractors. This enables them to track project status, anticipate issues and delays, and respond accordingly. The company notes that using its system can reduce project duration by an average of about 15% through early identification of delays and coordination problems.
The company’s technology is based on AI and computer vision models derived from eight years of collecting real-time data from construction sites. The workflow with the company’s system includes feeding in work plans, which the system compares against on-site photography taken every few days by a project manager or a Buildots representative.
The system performs comparative analysis across schedules, 3D models of construction sites, and field documentation, and is capable of identifying and classifying hundreds of types of construction work from video alone. All the information is processed into a more accurate picture of project progress, allowing real-time adjustments that prevent risks in advance.
The company reports that its clients include Intel, Azrieli Group, Ashtrom, Peretz Boneh HaNegev, Tidhar, and other construction companies and real estate developers worldwide, such as STO Building Group, JE Dunn, Mortenson, Bouygues, and HOCHTIEF.
The international real estate AI market is valued in the range of about $405 billion as of mid-2026 and is expected to surge to up to $1.4 trillion by 2030, according to American market research firm Research and Markets. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at roughly 34% to 36%, making it one of the most dynamic sub-sectors in the real estate technology field.
Buildots was founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, who serves as CEO, Aviv Leibovici, CPO, and Yakir Sudry, CTO. All three are graduates of the IDF’s Talpiot R&D leadership training program. The company currently employs about 400 people, 260 of whom are in Israel and the rest in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Denmark. It is currently working to recruit an estimated 100 additional employees, including several dozen in Israel.
Roy Danon, CEO and co-founder of Buildots, said: “The challenges we are solving in data center construction also exist in office building, residential tower, school, and hospital projects. Many times it is discovered too late that the project is deviating from the plan. In data centers, because of the size, complexity, and investment, every such deviation generates huge losses.”
Ziv Kop, managing partner at O.G. Venture Partners, which led the latest funding round, said: “We have been investing for over two decades in companies that create new categories, and the successful companies are those that build a technological infrastructure through which the entire industry begins to work. Buildots’ unique models and its ability to collect data from the field bring the AI revolution to the traditional construction world and the tech construction world, which today includes data centers, chip manufacturing plants, and defense-tech facilities. Buildots is doing for the construction industry what Mobileye did back in the day for the automotive world.”
