What BUILD TRUST does

BUILD TRUST S.r.l. is an Italy-based private company (headquartered in Minerbe, Verona) that operates a permissioned blockchain platform designed to make construction industry value chain information — project controls, production quantities, quality data, financial flows, payments, and safety records — available as an immutable, shared source of truth for project owners, contractors, suppliers, and workers. Its product portfolio includes the core blockchain transparency platform, 'The Safe Place' (an AI-powered workplace safety module using computer vision and deep learning to detect hazards in real time and trigger automated interventions such as machine stoppage and alarms), and 'Digital Plant' for plant-level operations.

The company's technology combines permissioned blockchain architecture with computer vision, deep learning, and predictive analytics to address construction industry pain points around schedule delays, cost overruns, lack of transparency in project valuation, and high workplace accident rates. It generates revenue through platform licensing and subscriptions sold to construction companies, precast factories, batching plants, and logistic centers via direct enterprise sales. Distribution leverages strategic partnerships with RINA, PwC Italia, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Sony Semiconductor Solutions, and the SIMEM group's international office network (Italy, USA, Canada, India, Germany). The company was recognized with the PMI Award 2025 from Politecnico di Milano's Digital Innovation Observatory for The Safe Place. No revenue, funding, headcount, or ownership details are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

BUILD TRUST sells a permissioned-blockchain platform that records and shares construction value-chain information (project control, quantity and quality tracking, financial flows, payments) among owners, contractors, suppliers and workers, plus a dedicated AI safety module called The Safe Place that uses computer vision on surveillance cameras to detect hazards on construction sites, precast factories, batching plants and logistic centers and trigger automatic interventions. The offering is targeted at construction enterprises and project owners as licensed/subscribed enterprise technology rather than as consumer software.

Product overview

BUILD TRUST operates as a blockchain-based digital transparency platform for the construction industry. The company offers a core platform enabling real-time project control, monitoring, financial tracking, and quality control on a permissioned Blockchain. The product portfolio includes: (1) The Safe Place - an AI-powered safety module for construction sites that uses computer vision and deep learning for real-time hazard detection, risk prediction, and automatic safety interventions. The company also mentions Digital Plant as another solution area. All offerings are designed to provide immutable, trusted information across the construction ecosystem value chain.

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Brands

• The Safe Place: AI-powered platform for construction site safety, using computer vision and deep learning to detect hazards in real-time, monitor workers and machines, and prevent accidents.

Products and services

• The Safe Place AI-powered workplace safety platform for construction sites, precast factories, batching plants and logistic centers. Uses computer vision and deep learning algorithms on surveillance camera feeds to detect operators under loads, vehicle-person collisions, forbidden-area access, height work without harnesses, and PPE compliance; predicts trajectories and forecasts collisions; and triggers automatic interventions such as stopping machines, sounding alarms, projecting HUD warnings onto vehicle windshields and vibrating wearable devices. Designed for security directors and plant managers who need safety databases and dashboards, and records risky-event counts without storing individual worker images to preserve privacy.
• Build Trust Blockchain Platform Permissioned-blockchain platform that makes information across the entire construction value chain (project control and monitoring, instant quantity production tracking, quality control, real-time financial tracking, payment and transaction transparency, worker and community safety, project sustainability) available as a trusted and immutable source for owners, contractors, suppliers and workers. Used by construction ecosystem participants to reduce schedule delays, cost overruns and the opacity caused by price-only competition.
• Digital Plant Digital Plant solution referenced on the Build Trust website navigation as part of the company's product portfolio for the construction sector, aligned with the digital and sustainable innovation themes showcased with Simem at Samoter 2026 in Verona.
