Our Journey
January 2022: The Foundation
BuildwellAI was established as an AI research group with a focused mission: investigating how robotic process automation could transform workflows in the construction industry.
Our founding research identified critical inefficiencies in construction processes, laying the groundwork for our AI-powered solutions that would address real industry pain points.
June 2023 - February 2024: Early Innovation
We began leveraging GPT-3 and reinforcement learning to develop basic report generation capabilities, marking our first step into practical AI applications for construction documentation.
The creation of our custom GPT models combined with systematic user feedback collection helped us refine our approach and understand real-world construction needs better than ever before.
November 2024 - May 2025: Strategic Growth
Full rebuild and strategic development of BuildwellCHAT transformed our platform capabilities. In February 2025, we advanced into computer vision development, creating sophisticated AI models for construction safety scenario detection.
May 2025 marked a pivotal moment with strategic investment from LBB, validating our technology and vision while providing the resources to accelerate our development roadmap.
June 2025: Leading the Future
Following our investment milestone, we expanded our team to its current strength, bringing together top talent in AI engineering, construction technology, and industry expertise.
Today, BuildwellAI serves construction professionals across the UK with BuildwellEYE, BuildwellCHAT, and our comprehensive AI platform. We're pioneering the future with advanced computer vision, predictive analytics, and AI-powered decision support systems that are setting new industry standards.
