ATLANTA and CHICAGO – August 27, 2025 — Juneau Construction Company, a leader in residential and student housing projects, is embracing a new era of digital transformation in the construction sector by signing a three-year enterprise agreement with Buildots, the AI-driven construction technology innovator. The partnership signals a major shift toward Performance-Driven Construction Management (PDCM), where project visibility, data, and predictive analytics take center stage in delivering large-scale developments.
The agreement ensures that Buildots’ platform will be integrated across Juneau’s full portfolio, leveraging AI and computer vision to automate on-site progress tracking and provide real-time, data-backed insights. With construction demand at historic highs, particularly in student housing, Juneau’s adoption of Buildots reflects a strategic move to scale its capabilities and reduce project delivery risks.
Juneau has already tested Buildots on high-profile projects, including Hub Knoxville, an 800,000-square-foot student housing community at the University of Tennessee, and One Park Tower, a 33-story luxury development in North Miami. Both projects have demonstrated how the platform enables more efficient operations and tighter control over scheduling and subcontractor performance.
With college enrollment increasing by 140,000 annually and a widening supply gap in purpose-built student housing (PBSA), Juneau is using Buildots’ data-driven tools to maintain its position as the third-largest student housing builder in the U.S.
“We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve the AEC experience and lead industry transformation. Buildots facilitates just that through data-driven project management,” said Jake Landreneau, EVP of Innovation + Technology at Juneau Construction Company. “The immediate visibility and predictive insights we've gained from Buildots have the ability to fundamentally change how our teams operate. By using the platform across our portfolio, we're confident the value it brings will increase exponentially, helping us improve organization-wide processes and deliver enhanced experiences for our teams and clients.”

“Buildots gives us objective visibility into progress, so we can spot delays instantly,” said Rolando Narvaez, Senior Superintendent on the One Park Tower project. “This technology allows us to keep the schedule on track, and hold trade partners accountable for completing their work on time. The AI removes the guesswork since everything is documented and verified against the plan, allowing the project to progress smoothly and efficiently.”
Buildots’ North America Regional Director, Jessica Herrala, praised Juneau’s forward-thinking approach:

“My team and I have been incredibly impressed with Juneau's vision and their willingness to embrace this new era of construction management. This isn't just about tech adoption, but raising a flag and declaring that a new way of building has arrived. We've seen firsthand how Juneau is using data to augment intuition with objective facts and deliver projects with confidence, and we're delighted to partner with them to achieve this.”
For Buildots CEO and co-founder Roy Danon, the collaboration is about reshaping industry norms:
“As demand for PBSA projects increases, forward-thinking companies like Juneau are realizing that you can't scale intuition. By making Buildots a standard part of its process, Juneau is committing to a new approach to construction management where blind spots are no longer tolerated and objective data replaces guesswork. This strategic move is poised to deliver projects with greater efficiency and continued on-time completion, transforming project delivery into a predictable, low-risk, and profitable endeavor.”
Looking ahead, Juneau will deploy the Buildots system across an ambitious pipeline of projects in the Southeast, including One Park Sarasota in Sarasota, One Twenty Brickell Residences in Miami, and other high-rise and campus-focused housing projects.
The Juneau-Buildots partnership highlights a broader trend of construction companies embracing AI-driven performance management as labor shortages, rising material costs, and stricter deadlines increase pressure on contractors.
With Buildots, Juneau aims not just for on-time delivery, but also to standardize workflows across multiple large projects, minimizing inefficiencies that typically arise in fast-growth markets like Florida and Tennessee.
For universities and private housing developers, this adoption translates into faster project turnover, reduced financial risk, and higher quality assurance, critical in a market where delays can cost millions.
By positioning itself as a pioneer in AI adoption, Juneau is signaling that construction firms can blend intuition with analytics, making data a central asset in project management strategies.
