The platform integrates AI with industry-specific data, standards, and documentation to help teams identify gaps, assess risk and prepare procurement materials more efficiently than traditional tools.

The company has already onboarded hundreds of users, deploying its platform across construction teams in 11 countries on four continents. By connecting internal data, users generate AI-driven analyses, enabling early identification and accurate pricing of change orders which can impact project viability. Procurement teams can also create category-specific RFP packages in minutes instead of days.

Lucas Otterling, co-founder and CEO of Brickanta noted that while the construction sector is often perceived as slow to adopt new technology, the company has seen strong engagement from a new generation of builders seeking AI tools designed around real-world construction workflows.

Commenting on the investment, Pär-Jörgen Pärson, Partner at Northzone, said that productivity growth in the construction industry has lagged for decades and that AI has the potential to help manage the complexity of planning and execution, which often involves large volumes of critical documentation.

Looking ahead, Brickanta plans to expand across Europe, leveraging shared building standards like the Eurocodes.

The company will continue growing its engineering, product, and delivery teams, while maintaining strong connections to Silicon Valley through Y Combinator, US-based angel investors and partnerships with large language model developers.
