About
About the Company
We build robots to make construction safer, faster, and more productive. Our focus is the earthmoving industry — things like digging foundations, building roads, and grading lots.

Annual spend on grading and 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.”Noah Ready-CampbellFounder & CEO
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.”
