Direct Answer: What Does Build Do?
Build is a high-tech, high-touch development services firm that pairs expert labor with specialized AI agents to accelerate and automate real estate development. The company is pioneering a new category called Agentic CRE (Commercial Real Estate) — where autonomous AI agents handle complex workflows like site selection, permitting, and early-stage design with human expert oversight.
Instead of software tools that only provide data, Build delivers outcomes: completed due diligence packets, market analysis reports, site shortlistings, and development documents — 10× faster and at higher quality than traditional providers.
Why It Matters: The Development Bottleneck
Traditional CRE development is slow, manual, and expensive.
Due diligence typically takes 2–6 weeks.
Site selection and permitting can drag on for months.
Legacy providers (AECOM $16B revenue; WSP $12B revenue in 2024) depend on armies of consultants working with static PDFs and fragmented tools.
This bottleneck matters because demand for new projects is surging: data centers, logistics facilities, telecom infrastructure, and housing. Investors with trillions in AUM can’t afford development delays.
Vision: The Age of Agentic CRE
Build’s ambition to accelerate your most important projects.
Services, not software: By delivering outcomes — not tools — Build is 10× more efficient than incumbents like AECOM or WSP.
Autonomous Development: The long-term vision is for buildings to self-plan, design, and construct — ushering in a new golden age where “bad buildings” are no longer possible.
New Modalities: As multimodal AI advances, Build integrates cutting-edge agents to orchestrate the most complex development processes.

Decision Framework: When to Choose Build
Use Build if you need to:
Evaluate dozens of potential sites in days, not months
Deliver diligence packets under tight bid windows

Scale development capacity without adding headcount
Don’t use Build if you only need a data warehouse or stand-alone software tool — we’re not a platform for DIY analysts. We are your execution partner.
