Nodes & Links, a leading AI enterprise platform for construction projects, has raised £9.5m in a Series B funding round led by ETF Partners, joined by SFC, Uncorrelated and existing investors. This latest round of capital will be used to expand operations to deliver Vertical AI to more enterprises, cementing its presence across Europe and scaling its footprint across the US.
Nodes & Links is unlocking the elusive productivity gains in the £10 trillion construction industry by deploying Vertical AI Agents—intelligent tools designed to automate critical workflows such as project performance analysis and compliance reporting. By streamlining these processes, Nodes & Links helps enterprises focus on higher-value activities while maintaining complete control of their workflows and data.
The accelerating global demand for construction is well-documented, with spending forecasted to jump £10 trillion in 2023, to £17 trillion in 2040, placing clear demands on the sector to improve productivity. Nodes & Links’ platform is positioned to support this drive for operational efficiency, as well as directly contributing to the global push for sustainable infrastructure. By reducing inefficiencies and waste while optimising resource use, Nodes & Links helps Fortune 500 companies like Intel, The Royal Bam Group, and AECOM deliver projects with a smaller environmental footprint.
In 2024 alone, Nodes & Links has saved enterprises over 175,000 hours and £3m, while achieving a 6x increase in adoption rate. To date, the platform, which includes an integrated AI-powered CO2 tracker, has reduced over 9,000 kT of carbon emissions across over 711 projects.
Nodes & Links’ vertical AI Agents integrate proprietary AI in a secure, end-to-end platform that reduces workflows that used to take days and weeks, to minutes.
When delivering large-scale projects, like a data centre, project teams have to report on progress and risks. Teams typically lose four days every two weeks in just generating these reports, meaning that they have less time to actually act on the information that they report on. With Nodes & Links, this mission-critical workflow is cut down to a few minutes, giving back time to the team to do what humans do best–synthesise the information and mitigate pending risks.
