What DigiBuild does
Our platform fixes construction's broken supply chain. 70% of construction projects finish late or over budget; procuring and managing building materials is the number 1 reason why. We use LLMs to buy and manage building materials for large construction companies. With DigiBuild, construction contractors can find, order, track and manage their materials from the supplier to the job site. We help customers save money, staff time, and improve construction project schedules. We work with the top real estate developers, general contractors, and subcontractors in the US. We manage billions in building material volume annually in the 2nd largest market in the world.

Company
DigiBuild
We buy & track building materials for construction companies.
We built a platform that lets construction contractors find, order, track, and manage building materials from suppliers all the way to the job site. We use large language models to automate procurement and supply chain management, saving time and money while keeping projects on schedule.
We live and work in Miami, FL. After YC, we'll continue to base the company there.
Miami has a growing construction market and tech talent we can tap. It keeps us close to our early customers in the US market we serve.
