\nBuilders FirstSource, Inc. (NYSE: BLDR), a leading provider of building materials and value-added services, and Digs, a leading AI platform for homebuilders and homeowners, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver the next generation of AI-powered workflows and digital infrastructure for professional builders and homeowners.<\/p>\n
\nUnder the partnership, Builders FirstSource is the solo lead on Digs\u2019 $25.3 million Series A financing and has also entered into a five-year commercial agreement with Digs to accelerate product development, strengthen platform integration, and expand AI capabilities. Through the commercial agreement, the companies will collaborate to strengthen Builders FirstSource\u2019s digital ecosystem for residential homebuilders and build out new experiences for homeowners.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customers are looking for seamless technology that helps them operate more efficiently and deliver a better homeowner experience,\u201d <\/i>said Peter Jackson, CEO of Builders FirstSource. \u201cBy combining Builders FirstSource\u2019s scale, deep customer relationships, product data, and extensive digital ecosystem with Digs\u2019 AI platform, we are advancing tools that can simplify workflows, improve productivity, and create a more connected experience across the homebuilding lifecycle, enabling us to serve our customers in new ways at every stage.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\nThe companies intend to leverage Builders FirstSource’s comprehensive digital ecosystem and Digs\u2019 patented AI platform to better serve homebuilders, including the more than 140,000 customers served by Builders FirstSource today, by helping them eliminate disconnected workflows, reduce manual work, and deliver exceptional homeowner experiences from pre-construction through warranty and beyond.<\/p>\n
One Intelligent Platform Across the Entire Build<\/b><\/p>\n
\nAs part of the partnership, Builders FirstSource and Digs intend to enhance Builders FirstSource\u2019s digital ecosystem with Digs\u2019 patented AI technology to turn thousands of disconnected construction documents into a single living source of truth, connecting plans, specifications, selections, products, approvals, warranties, conversations, and project history into one intelligent platform.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nFor builders: Every stakeholder can work from the same trusted information, from estimating and purchasing to construction, design, sales, and homeowner care.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nFor homeowners: Greater transparency during construction and a complete digital twin of their home that continues delivering value long after move-in.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nThe result is faster decisions, less rework, shorter project cycle times, and a better ownership experience.<\/p>\n
Helping Builders Work Faster at Every Stage<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThe partnership accelerates a new generation of AI-powered capabilities to streamline operations and improve both internal workflows and the homeowner experience.<\/p>\n
\nPlanned innovations include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nA single source of truth for every project with AI chat, files, e-signatures, QR codes, comments, tasks, and project collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nAI-powered diagramming, finish selections, and visual coordination between builders, designers, trades, and homeowners.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nConsumer-grade client experiences that keep homeowners informed throughout construction while reducing interruptions to project teams.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nAI-powered homeowner handoff, warranty, and aftercare that extends the builder relationship long after move-in.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nIntegrated into Builders FirstSource’s digital ecosystem, these connected workflows will be devised to span estimating, procurement, construction, and ongoing homeownership, helping teams build more homes with greater efficiency and confidence.<\/p>\n
Extending the Builder Relationship Beyond Move-In<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThis intelligent foundation will be designed to enable homeowners to receive personalized maintenance guidance, warranty support, and tailored services for their home, while giving builders a more efficient way to manage aftercare and strengthen long-term customer relationships.<\/p>\n
\nOver time, it opens the door to new services and innovations across the full life of the home.<\/p>\n
\n“Our vision has always been beyond construction software,” <\/i>said Ryan Fink, CEO and Co-founder of Digs. “We’re building the AI platform that understands every home. Builders FirstSource brings national reach, industry relationships, product data, and market scale. Together, we’re creating something even beyond the next generation of residential construction, we\u2019re creating the first scalable true digital twin of the home for homeowners to power new experiences for the life of their home.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
