"It took us seven seconds to know that acquiring Genda was the right move."

That's what Aviv Leibovici, CPO of Buildots, told us about the moment the deal clicked.

In today's episode of Bricks and Bytes, we had Aviv Leibovici from Buildots and Erez Dror, founder of Genda, and we got to learn about why Buildots acquired Genda, how combining visual progress data with workforce tracking creates what they call "productivity intelligence," why the best field data will be the new oil for AI in construction, and the hard truths about building products in this industry... and many more!

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Why knowing what was built is only half the picture and how workforce data completes the construction puzzle

✅ How Genda got tens of thousands of construction workers to voluntarily use an app that tracks their location (the answer is genius)

✅ The real reason projects delay and why GCs blaming owner changes is only part of the story

✅ Why studying your customers matters more than just listening to them and how both founders approach product development differently than most
