Strategic Investors Fuel TruBuild\u2019s $1\u202fMillion Seed Round<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe fully believe in TruBuild\u02bcs mission to eliminate costly project changes and variations, in line with our mission to invest in impactful businesses in the construction sector.\u02ee  Anas Algahtani said, Wa’ed Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI\u2011Powered Insights Slash Delays and Budget Overruns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year, project changes and cost overruns lead to more than $1.6 trillion <\/strong>in unplanned expenses worldwide, equivalent to 15% of total project costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TruBuild\u02bcs AI platform works quietly in the background, analysing project data to spot risks early and provide real-time insights. It integrates directly with tools teams already use, helping project owners, consultants and contractors stay aligned, make decisions faster, and reduce back-and-forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u02bcre not here to disrupt for the sake of it,\u02ee said Bisrat Degefa, CEO of TruBuild. \u201cWe\u02bcre here to make everyday decisions easier through objective data, and to help project teams avoid the kinds of issues they\u02bcve faced for years.\u02ee<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWith the backing of thoughtful investors and strategic partners, we\u02bcre focused on solving real pain points for teams in the field and we\u02bcre proud to contribute to a more predictable and transparent construction process, creating the next paradigm shift in construction technology.\u02ee<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

TruBuild is working with major organisations in Saudi Arabia, including Osool Real Estate Company.Its approach is an integral part of digital strategy, allowing Osool to procure and develop projects more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
