Buildots’ Big Move, Procore’s Awkward Transition & The AI Agents Invasion

In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:

🚧 Buildots acquires Genda, a major step into workforce tracking.

🤝 Procore’s CEO handover at Groundbreak leaves the crowd uneasy.

🧠 Provision raises $7 million to redefine AI in pre-con.

💰 Candid Intelligence lands $5.5 million to collapse pre-construction timelines from years to months.


But that’s not all:

  • Patric Hellermann calls Buildots + Genda “a match made in heaven.”

  • Dustin DeVan shares why “the best acquisitions are share deals and not cash deals.”

  • Luigi La Corte (Provision) explains why accurate AI take-offs aren’t a commodity.

  • Talha Faiz (Candid) reveals how AI could start construction a year sooner.


🎧 Listen now for:

  • How Buildots is blending progress + workforce data to control site productivity.

  • Why Procore’s “AI Agent era” might be all PR and no product.

  • The coming wave of AI take-off startups and who will actually survive.
