Buildagil

What Buildagil does

Buildagil is the cloud-based construction collaboration platform of B3 digital AG, a Swiss software company headquartered in Gossau, Switzerland. It operates as a Common Data Environment (CDE) for building-information-modeling (BIM) projects, providing a centralized workspace where owners, planners, general contractors, and subcontractors exchange BIM models, drawings, documents, and project correspondence across multi-party programs.

The product is delivered as a multi-language (German, English, French, Italian) subscription SaaS, with a primary go-to-market focus on the DACH region. Technical foundations include a BIM viewer with an AI-assisted filter builder, native integration with Microsoft 365, BIM authoring tools, PDF editors, and digital signature providers, and adoption of the buildingSMART openCDE API for interoperability. The platform targets enterprise and mid-market construction organizations and is anchored in public-sector infrastructure (SBB CFF FFS, ewz), general contracting (Halter AG), real-estate development (ZIMA, Leven Property), and specialist construction (Blumer-Lehmann).

The business model is enterprise B2B SaaS subscription, monetized per project workspace and per seat. Per company-published materials, "tens of thousands of construction professionals" use the platform daily, and the customer base spans both large institutional accounts and a long tail of project teams. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures.
