Across the construction industry, the shift toward data-driven operations is no longer a future ambition. It’s happening right now. And as we prepare to meet the EllisDon team as finalists in their ConTech Accelerator, we want to share why we believe Buildright is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in this transition.

Contractors in Europe and North America face the same challenge: projects generate rich operational data every day, yet they’re not utilized to drive better outcomes on site. Inspection logs, deviations, incidents, reports, quality records and photos are all potential golden nuggets of valuable insights, but until now construction firms have lacked the tools that turn these nuggets into consistent, measurable improvement. This is exactly the gap Buildright is built to fill.

By combining advanced AI technology with our domain knowledge in construction, Buildright can surface emerging risks, detect patterns across projects, and generate practical learning content quickly. The result is a workflow that connects data, insight, and action far more quickly than traditional methods ever could.

Unlike approaches that depend on manual assessments or static templates, RiskGuard analyzes real operational data from the frontline to identify emerging risks, recurring patterns, and improvement opportunities. And critically, we convert these insights into targeted microlearning that helps teams strengthen practice, increase consistency, and build competence across projects and regions.

This combination of data-driven risk insights + practical learning directly connected to field reality is what differentiates our approach. It doesn’t add more reporting. It simply helps teams make better decisions and improve quality;with the specific knowledge their own data shows they need.

In conversations with contractors across the continents, the message is clear: the need is global, and the opportunity is significant. Quality managers and digital leaders are actively looking for solutions that go beyond dashboards but support real operational improvement.

This is why being selected as a finalist by EllisDon matters. EllisDon a leading and innovative contractor in Canada, and their interest signals that our approach resonates across markets. It reinforces our confidence that Buildright is addressing a global opportunity.
