About

About the Company

We build the robots that build the world. Robots are intelligent tools, and we put these tools in the hands of the skilled craft workers of the 21st century. We do this by upgrading off-the-shelf heavy equipment with AI guidance systems, enabling it to operate fully autonomously. Our robots are deployed today across the $1 trillion earthmoving industry, and they’re being used to build critical infrastructure such as wind farms, gas pipelines, and new housing developments.

Annual spend on excavation services

My dad was a carpenter and contractor, so I grew up around construction. In high school I worked for him renovating old houses, then went to work at Google after college. When I first started Built, he told me I’d better learn to operate equipment before I tried to automate it, so I rented a Deere 135G excavator and dug a pond in my family’s back yard. Soon after, I met Andrew, my co-founder, and six months later we got our first prototype up and running.

Working at Built

Built is something between a robotics lab and a construction company, so we spend a lot of time in the field testing equipment, learning from our customers, and ensuring our technology is safe and effective.

I’ve never had a meeting quite like the one I had with Built Robotics... Built is taking the concepts and technology that others are using to build self-driving cars and adapting them for a whole different vertical: construction.
