CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Field Materials has surpassed $1.3 billion in total construction purchasing volume, fueled by rapid growth in data center development and increasing demand for AI-driven procurement tools.
The milestone marks a 3.5x year-over-year increase for the company, underscoring how digital transformation is reshaping construction workflows as project scale and complexity rise.
Industry momentum continues to build, with U.S. data center construction spending reaching an estimated $61 billion in 2025 and projected to grow another 23% in 2026. Major tech players — including Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft — have collectively committed roughly $700 billion toward AI infrastructure this year alone.
Rapid Growth Driven by Data Center Demand
For Field Materials, the surge in data center construction has created a powerful tailwind. The company crossed the $1 billion threshold less than three years after its founding and continues to scale at an accelerated pace.
"A billion dollars is an important milestone," said Eldar Sadikov, co-founder and CEO. “But the opportunity ahead is bigger. Commercial material purchasing in the U.S. alone is a $300B+ market. And the data center surge is pushing it higher.”
The platform now supports more than 100 contractors across 32 U.S. states and several international markets, including Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It is currently used across over 17,000 projects, spanning 16 trades and connecting more than 20,000 vendors.
Growth has been particularly strong in recent quarters, with purchasing volume increasing by more than 40% quarter over quarter. The company expects to exceed $2 billion in volume within the next few months.
AI Transforming Construction Procurement Workflows
Founded in 2022 by Eldar Sadikov and Victor Gane, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of AI-driven construction technology.
Its platform integrates with leading construction accounting systems and automates procurement processes from field ordering through invoice management — tasks that are still largely handled manually across the industry. According to the company, its AI tools can reduce purchase order and invoice processing time by up to 90%.
Several of Field Materials’ largest recent contracts have come from contractors involved in large-scale data center builds, where efficiency and speed are critical.
"The data center boom didn't just bring us customers," Sadikov said. “It changed the conversation. Contractors aren't asking whether to automate anymore — they're asking how fast we can get them live.”
The company’s client roster includes major contractors such as Swinerton, Teichert, Dynamic Systems and Big-D.
The rise of AI in construction procurement reflects broader industry challenges, including labor shortages, supply chain volatility and the growing scale of complex infrastructure projects like data centers.
Procurement — often one of the most fragmented and manual aspects of construction — is becoming a key focus area for automation. By digitizing workflows and reducing administrative overhead, platforms like Field Materials aim to improve cost control, reduce errors and accelerate project timelines.
The company also plans to expand its workforce from 53 employees to more than 70 this year while targeting revenue growth of over 2.5x. New AI modules are expected to roll out in the coming months, further enhancing capabilities in areas such as inventory management, equipment rentals and prefabrication operations.
As data center construction continues to surge globally, demand for scalable, tech-enabled solutions is expected to grow — positioning companies like Field Materials to play a central role in the next phase of construction innovation.
