Under the partnership, Builders FirstSource is the solo lead on Digs’ $25.3 million Series A financing and has also entered into a five-year commercial agreement with Digs to accelerate product development, strengthen platform integration, and expand AI capabilities.
Through the commercial agreement, the companies will collaborate to strengthen Builders FirstSource’s digital ecosystem for residential homebuilders and build out new experiences for homeowners. "Our customers are looking for seamless technology that helps them operate more efficiently and deliver a better homeowner experience," said Peter Jackson, CEO of Builders FirstSource. "By combining Builders FirstSource’s scale, deep customer relationships, product data, and extensive digital ecosystem with Digs’ AI platform, we are advancing tools that can simplify workflows, improve productivity, and create a more connected experience across the homebuilding lifecycle, enabling us to serve our customers in new ways at every stage." The companies intend to leverage Builders FirstSource's comprehensive digital ecosystem and Digs’ patented AI platform to better serve homebuilders, including the more than 140,000 customers served by Builders FirstSource today, by helping them eliminate disconnected workflows, reduce manual work, and deliver exceptional homeowner experiences from pre-construction through warranty and beyond.
One Intelligent Platform Across the Entire Build As part of the partnership, Builders FirstSource and Digs intend to enhance Builders FirstSource’s digital ecosystem with Digs’ patented AI technology to turn thousands of disconnected construction documents into a single living source of truth, connecting plans, specifications, selections, products, approvals, warranties, conversations, and project history into one intelligent platform.
For builders: Every stakeholder can work from the same trusted information, from estimating and purchasing to construction, design, sales, and homeowner care.
For homeowners: Greater transparency during construction and a complete digital twin of their home that continues delivering value long after move-in.
The result is faster decisions, less rework, shorter project cycle times, and a better ownership experience.
Helping Builders Work Faster at Every Stage The partnership accelerates a new generation of AI-powered capabilities to streamline operations and improve both internal workflows and the homeowner experience.
Planned innovations include: A single source of truth for every project with AI chat, files, e-signatures, QR codes, comments, tasks, and project collaboration.
AI-powered diagramming, finish selections, and visual coordination between builders, designers, trades, and homeowners.
Consumer-grade client experiences that keep homeowners informed throughout construction while reducing interruptions to project teams.
AI-powered homeowner handoff, warranty, and aftercare that extends the builder relationship long after move-in.
Integrated into Builders FirstSource's digital ecosystem, these connected workflows will be devised to span estimating, procurement, construction, and ongoing homeownership, helping teams build more homes with greater efficiency and confidence.
Extending the Builder Relationship Beyond Move-In This intelligent foundation will be designed to enable homeowners to receive personalized maintenance guidance, warranty support, and tailored services for their home, while giving builders a more efficient way to manage aftercare and strengthen long-term customer relationships.
Over time, it opens the door to new services and innovations across the full life of the home.
