Finnish ConTech company GBuilder has completed a €2M financing round led by Amavi Capital with participation from existing investors Butterfly Ventures and Vendep Capital. The funds will be used to accelerate international expansion in their target markets which include the UK and DACH.

“We quickly found common ground with AMAVI. In addition to capital, they bring in a huge amount of industry know-how and networks. The partnership enables faster growth in international markets.” says Harri Majala, CEO of GBuilder.

GBuilder's product is a BIM-compatible software for residential and commercial developers that digitizes the customer journey, material selections and modifications, visualizations, inspections, and communication processes. With over 30.000 housing units being processed on the platform, the software is already widely used by Scandinavia’s largest residential developers, such as YIT, Bonava, and Hartela, but also in countries like the UK, Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, Baltics and Slovakia.

"The international construction industry is now clearly undergoing a period of transition in terms of both practices and values." analyzes Jarmo Ollila, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer. "The challenge is dual: to provide a unique customer experience while managing internal processes reliably and efficiently. We can provide a unique solution that creates benefits for the whole value chain.”

“GBuilder's proven traction in Europe convinced us of the company’s growth potential, AMAVI Capital sees an exceptional tool that generates a unique customer experience, while at the same time streamlining the complex execution processes in the back-office and on the construction site. In the construction industry, the company’s holistic BIM-based approach is exceptional and the benefits it brings are not only diverse but also indisputable,” Arne Allewaert, managing partner at AMAVI Capital comments.
