What Built Technologies does
Built Technologies is a Nashville-based, venture-backed SaaS provider of an AI-native platform that serves the construction and commercial real estate finance lifecycle. The company targets four primary customer segments — banks (community, regional, and enterprise lenders), private credit firms (debt funds, REITs, asset managers), owners & developers, and general contractors — and reports 355 lenders on the platform, including 17 of the top 25 US lenders (Goldman Sachs, Citi, U.S. Bank, Northwestern Mutual, Zions Bancorporation, Live Oak Bank, Fifth Third, Regions), 80,000+ owners & contractors (cited as nearly 185,000 in May 2026 coverage), 533,000+ cumulative projects, and $392B+ in real estate dollars active.
The platform is organized into four product suites — Construction Loan Administration (Draw Agent, Draw Inspections, Draw & Budget Management, Risk Mitigation), Deal Management (Origination Pipeline Management, AI OM Extraction, Portfolio Reporting), Construction Financials (Budget Management, Capital Requests, Invoice Management, Compliance Tracking, Lien Waiver Management, Payments), and a standalone Lien Waiver Management & Payments tier — connected by cross-cutting reporting & analytics and Built Connect, a native Excel Add-In. Built's AI capabilities are anchored by the AI Draw Agent, an autonomous agentic AI for construction draw review co-developed with MightyBot (audit, assist, and automate modes; reducing average draw timelines from 7 business days to 3 and capable of approvals within minutes), and AI OM Extraction (~90-second extraction of 40+ fields at 96% field-level accuracy with source-cited confidence scores). The AI is trained on more than $3 trillion in construction and CRE lending activity across 300+ lenders and 12 years of real deal data, with single-tenant SaaS architecture and SOC 2 Type II attestation. Native or qualified integrations span Yardi Voyager (Fully Qualified Ecosystem Partner), Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online/Desktop, Xero, Sage 100/300, Procore, Encompass, DocuSign, nCino, and PandaDoc.
Built's revenue model combines quote-based enterprise SaaS subscriptions (CLA+, Deal Management, Construction Financials, Reporting & Analytics) with a freemium self-serve Lien Waivers + Payments tier (free provided at least one payment is processed monthly; otherwise $1,000/month Lien Waivers Only) and 1% Instant Pay (RTP) transaction fees on the payee side, plus paper-check payor fees. The company is venture-backed: a $125M Series D led by TCV at a $1.5B valuation in September 2021, a $23.6M offering in July 2022 involving 18 investors in connection with a business combination transaction, and a strategic investment from Citi through its SPRINT program in April 2023. Leadership includes CEO Chase Gilbert, with recent CTO Pat Poels (Feb 2025) and CFO Jason Woods (Apr 2026) additions. Geographic scope is currently US-only with planned UK and Australia expansion, and prior acquisitions include lienwaivers.io (Jan 2020) and Nativ (Jul 2022).

Revenue model
- Construction Loan Administration & Deal Management SaaS subscriptions: Recurring SaaS subscriptions for Construction Loan Administration+ (CLA+), Deal Management (origination, underwriting, asset management, portfolio reporting), Construction Financials, and the Reporting & Analytics Module, sold to banks, private credit firms, owners & developers, and general contractors; pricing is quote-based with most teams live within a few weeks and 'most teams extracting live OMs within a week' for the AI add-ons.
- Lien Waivers Only subscription: Self-service $1,000/month subscription tier for lien waiver management only — unlimited team members, unlimited projects, self-service template editor, state-based lien waiver templates, status tracking and audit trails, no digital payments.
- Lien Waivers + Payments (freemium with payment activity condition): Free of charge provided the customer processes at least 1 payment per month on the Built platform; otherwise the account automatically reverts to the $1,000/month Lien Waivers Only plan for that month. Drives payment volume onto the platform as the gating condition for free usage.
- Instant Pay (Real-Time Payments) transaction fees: Instant Pay uses RTP rails to deliver funds in minutes after the trade partner accepts; free for the payor, the payee is charged a 1% fee deducted from their deposit; available up to $10M per transaction. Generates usage-based transaction revenue on top of the underlying subscription.
- Paper Check payments (payor fee): Built mails a physical check on the payor's behalf for trade partners who prefer paper payment (7-10 business days standard delivery); a fee applies to the payor. Adds incremental transactional revenue per check.

Built Technologies competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Cherre: CRE data and analytics platform used by institutional owners and lenders for portfolio intelligence. Comparable because it targets the same private-credit and institutional investor segment as Built's Deal Management/Portfolio Reporting and competes for the data layer of CRE loan portfolios.
- Blend: Cloud lending platform focused initially on mortgage, expanding into consumer and small-business lending. Comparable because it targets similar bank customers with embedded workflow tools and could encroach on Built's construction-lending workflow seat.
Broad incumbents
- nCino: Cloud commercial banking and loan-origination platform with a dedicated Built partnership page. Comparable because it serves many of the same bank customers and competes for the commercial-lending workflow seat, including construction and CRE lending.
- Finastra: Large banking software provider spanning core, lending, and treasury. Comparable because it competes for the same commercial-banking technology budget and could expand construction-lending capabilities that overlap with Built's footprint.
- ICE Mortgage Technology (Encompass): Dominant loan origination system used across mortgage and increasingly CRE lending. Comparable because Encompass is integrated with Built today but also represents a broader incumbent that banks may choose instead of, or alongside, Built.
- Yardi Systems: Major CRE and property-management software suite whose Yardi Voyager platform spans accounting, loan servicing, and now integrates with Built as a 'Fully Qualified Ecosystem Partner'. Comparable because it serves many of the same private-credit and lender customers across the CRE lifecycle, even as Built differentiates at the construction-draw layer.
- Sage (Sage Intacct): CRE-focused accounting platform with which Built has a co-marketed integration. Comparable because it sits adjacent to Built's Construction Financials and Deal Management offerings and competes for the same owner's/developer accounting seat in CRE.
Direct peers
- Procore Technologies: Leading construction project management SaaS whose Procore Financials product directly competes with Built's Construction Financials and lien-waiver/draw workflows. Comparable because it targets the same general contractors and owners with overlapping financial workflows and has a large incumbent installed base.
- AvidXchange: AP automation and B2B payments platform with deep penetration in construction and real estate. Comparable because it directly competes with Built's Payments and lien-waiver/invoice workflows for the same general contractors and mid-market owners/developers.
- Newgen Software: Enterprise content and lending automation platform used by banks for commercial and construction loan origination and processing. Comparable because it competes for the same loan-administration and document-automation workloads inside banks and lenders.
