Lumber and BuilderFax Named to Construction Executive's 2026 Top Construction Technology Products™ List
Lumber is recognized across three categories; BuilderFax earns a spot in the Preconstruction category.
Palo Alto, California — June 26, 2026 — Lumber, an AI-native construction workforce management platform, and BuilderFax, its digital credential management platform, have been named to Construction Executive's 2026 Top Construction Technology Products™ list. The annual ranking recognizes the most impactful technology firms serving the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
Lumber earned recognition in three categories: Accounting and Job Costing, Financial Technology (Invoicing, Payments, Payroll, Lien Waivers, Tax, etc.), and Workforce Management (HR, Labor Scheduling, Time and Attendance, etc.). BuilderFax was recognized separately in the Preconstruction (Subcontractor Prequalification, Permitting, etc.) category.
Construction Executive's Top Construction Technology Products™ list is compiled annually by reaching out to more than 1,000 technology firms serving the AEC industry. Selection is based on product offerings, active user base, and demonstrated value to construction firms of all sizes.
"Being recognized across four categories on Construction Executive's Top Tech list reflects the breadth of what we are building at Lumber," said Lumber’s Co-founder and CEO, Shreesha Ramdas. "From payroll and compliance to credential management with BuilderFax, we are focused on solving the most critical workforce challenges facing contractors today."
A Platform Built for Construction Workforce Complexity
Founded in 2023, Lumber has rapidly established itself as a purpose-built solution for construction contractors managing complex workforce operations. The platform automates payroll, union wages, prevailing wage compliance, and multi-state tax filings, while also supporting HR management, onboarding, scheduling, time tracking, and benefits administration.
Lumber's recognition in the Accounting and Job Costing and Financial Technology categories reflects its ability to reduce the administrative burden that typically falls on back-office teams at construction firms. By connecting field operations with financial workflows, Lumber helps contractors improve accuracy, maintain compliance, and accelerate payroll processing.
BuilderFax: Bringing Credential Visibility to Preconstruction
BuilderFax addresses a longstanding challenge in the construction industry: the fragmented and often paper-based management of worker certifications, training records, and qualifications. The platform allows craft workers to securely store, track, and share their credentials with employers, while giving contractors access to verified qualification data during subcontractor prequalification.
Its inclusion in the Preconstruction category on Construction Executive's Top Tech list recognizes BuilderFax's role in helping contractors make faster, more informed hiring and prequalification decisions before a project breaks ground.
