Carbon Title and Procore Join Forces to Mainstream Decarbonization in the Building Industry

Carbon Title and Procore Join Forces to Mainstream Decarbonization

Carbon Title, the company dedicated to decarbonizing every building, today announced it has joined the Procore App Marketplace. Procore Technologies, Inc. is a leading global provider of construction management software and started the Procore App Marketplace in 2016 as an online hub for third party integrations and applications to support the growing construction ecosystem. The integration will help normalize green building practices across projects and make it easier to amplify their successes, enabling lower-carbon contractors to highlight their competitive advantage in an increasingly climate-conscious market.

Carbon poses both a significant threat and a promising opportunity for contractors today. Companies that embrace lower-carbon strategies stand to gain a substantial competitive advantage, while those who are reluctant risk being left behind. This integration will serve as a catalyst for a race to zero emissions, motivating top contractors worldwide to adopt eco-friendly approaches to future-proof their businesses.

"Our integration into the Procore platform represents a major breakthrough towards weaving carbon reduction into the very DNA of construction management," said Miles Haladay, co-founder of Carbon Title. "By providing radical transparency of carbon emissions across projects, we are ushering in a new era of sustainable construction, where the construction of our homes, hospitals and other structures no longer comes at the expense of our environment."

The built environment contributes 40% of annual global carbon emissions. What's more, we're on a trajectory that falls short of achieving the objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement. In order to mitigate the risk of catastrophic climate change, the integration of Carbon Title into the Procore platform presents a timely solution. Contractors, developers and property owners can now access robust tools to estimate, manage and communicate the carbon impact of their building portfolios. Carbon Title Explorer, a map of estimated carbon emissions of nearly every building in the U.S., provides visibility, raising awareness among the broader public.

"We're inspired by Carbon Title's transformative work to normalize green buildings at scale," said Kris Lengieza, VP of global partnerships & alliances at Procore. "Together we're working to make carbon reduction a standard practice across all building projects. This collaboration represents a significant stride towards a lower carbon future, with tangible benefits for both the industry and our planet."

Billd and STACK Construction Technologies Announce Powerful Integration That Helps Contractors to Secure Working Capital and Increase Bid Volume

Newswire | September 12, 2023

Billd, a leading construction payment provider for commercial trade contractors, and STACK Construction Technologies, a pioneering construction software platform, enhanced their strategic partnership today in a way that will allow subcontractors to accelerate their growth like never before. Billd's financing solutions are now embedded in STACK's Takeoff and Estimating platform, allowing subcontractors to instantly access working capital during preconstruction. The new integration will empower subcontractors to increase bid volume, secure working capital, and strengthen supplier relationships, accelerating business growth without the financial constraints of the industry's broken payment chain. "We encourage all of our customers to think about working capital availability, and if necessary, financing costs, as early as possible," said Billd CEO and Founder, Chris Doyle. "This integration equips subcontractors to be proactive about project finances and bid, plan, and make promises to customers confidently, knowing that financial backing is readily available." Supply chain finance has been historically unfair to subcontractors, leaving them footing the bill for materials and labor far before they're paid for their work. Subcontractors wait twice as long as industry peers to be paid, averaging 74 days (almost two and a half months) after starting a project. By leveraging Billd Connect, Billd's suite of embedded financing apps, STACK will provide access to working capital solutions to their customers while they estimate the cost of upcoming projects. STACK's best-in-class software empowers contractors with accurate and customizable estimates, reducing the risk of underestimating costs and overextending resources. Meanwhile, Billd's material and invoice financing bridge the gap in subcontractor cash flow, reducing the risk of overextending working capital. By providing subcontractors with hyper-accurate takeoffs and estimates along with upfront funds for materials, joint customers can mitigate the uncertainties of payment cycles and bid with confidence. "The integration of construction technology is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity," said STACK's CEO and Co-Founder, Phillip Ogilby. "The construction industry has been plagued by subcontractors not getting paid on time, leading to disruptions, delays, and stalled growth. Our streamlined takeoff, estimating, and proposal solutions paired with Billd's financing options mean subs can focus on what matters. Taking the guesswork out with accurate estimates and having predictable revenue is a huge win. I wish I had this growth opportunity when I was a roofing contractor." Subcontractors need financing and they need it early in the process. Billd offers 120-day terms on material purchases, enabling subcontractors to improve their cash flow to take on larger projects, get more estimates out the door, and focus on investing in their long-term plan. About STACK Construction Technologies From project evaluation to completion, contractors use STACK's cloud-based software to help run their business and maximize their profits. Our preconstruction solutions enable fast and accurate takeoff and estimating, as well as providing a centralized hub where plans, specs, and other construction documents can be stored, evaluated, measured, and shared. Our construction solutions power real-time field and project collaboration by allowing teams to quickly and easily review, annotate, compare, and share plans, anywhere, from any device. STACK's superior collaboration tools ultimately improve project outcomes and profitability for contractors. About Billd At Billd, we provide a payment solution that enables commercial construction contractors to free up cash for material purchases while enjoying the flexibility of 120-day payment terms. You get financing for commercial materials upfront with the freedom to pay it back at your own pace. Learn more about how we can help eliminate your company's cash-flow problems so you can win more bids and grow your business.
