Juneau Construction Company Leads New Era of Data-Driven Construction By Partnering with Buildots
AI construction technology leader Buildots today announced a three-year enterprise agreement with Juneau Construction Company, a nationally recognized builder of commercial, cultural, higher education, multifamily, mixed-use, student housing, historic restoration and renovation projects in the Southeast. Juneau will implement Buildots’ AI-powered platform across its entire portfolio, leveraging data-driven insights to continue to deliver projects on time and with confidence, while also using construction data as a strategic asset to improve company-wide performance and make continuous improvement a reality.
Buildots automates on-site progress tracking through the power of AI and computer vision. The platform empowers construction teams to make more informed decisions by unlocking accurate data and predictive performance metrics. Juneau has already proven its efficacy on multiple large-scale construction sites, including Hub Knoxville, an 800,000-square-foot, three-building student housing complex at the University of Tennessee; and One Park Tower, a 33-story, 869,000-square-foot luxury development in North Miami.
With an annual increase of 140,000 in college enrollment and a widening gap in purpose-built student accommodation (according to McKinsey), the sector is experiencing a significant boom. Buildots’ software helps Juneau, the third-largest student housing builder in the US, remain at the forefront of this market by providing the tools necessary to meet critical delivery timelines and navigate increased demand.
“We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve the AEC experience and lead industry transformation. Buildots facilitates just that through data-driven project management,” said Jake Landreneau, EVP of Innovation + Technology at Juneau Construction Company. “The immediate visibility and predictive insights we’ve gained from Buildots have the ability to fundamentally change how our teams operate. By using the platform across our portfolio, we’re confident the value it brings will increase exponentially, helping us improve organization-wide processes and deliver enhanced experiences for our teams and clients.”
“Buildots gives us objective visibility into progress, so we can spot delays instantly,” said Rolando Narvaez, Senior Superintendent on the One Park Tower project. “This technology allows us to keep the schedule on track, and hold trade partners accountable for completing their work on time. The AI removes the guesswork since everything is documented and verified against the plan, allowing the project to progress smoothly and efficiently.”
Looking forward, the Buildots platform and Performance-Driven Construction Management (PDCM) methodology will be deployed across Juneau’s diverse portfolio, which includes One Park Tower (North Miami), One Park Sarasota (Sarasota), One Twenty Brickell Residences (Miami) and other projects throughout the Southeast.
“As demand for PBSA projects increases, forward-thinking companies like Juneau are realizing that you can’t scale intuition,” said Roy Danon, co-founder and CEO of Buildots. “By making Buildots a standard part of its process, Juneau is committing to a new approach to construction management where blind spots are no longer tolerated and objective data replaces guesswork. This strategic move is poised to deliver projects with greater efficiency and continued on-time completion, transforming project delivery into a predictable, low-risk, and profitable endeavor.”
Buildots’ North America Regional Director Jessica Herrala added, “My team and I have been incredibly impressed with Juneau’s vision and their willingness to embrace this new era of construction management. This isn’t just about tech adoption, but raising a flag and declaring that a new way of building has arrived. We’ve seen firsthand how Juneau is using data to augment intuition with objective facts and deliver projects with confidence, and we’re delighted to partner with them to achieve this.”
