Data Engine

The most comprehensive geospatial intelligence platform for the built world. Power, fiber, environmental, and zoning data across 18+ countries, updated continuously and cited in every output.

  • Power capacity, substation loading, fiber routes, gas mains, water/wastewater systems, and connection points mapped to every site.

  • Flood zones, contamination records, wetlands, soil classifications, seismic data, and groundwater conditions aggregated from public and commercial sources.

  • Parcel-level zoning classifications, permitted uses, comparable transactions, tax environments, and absorption metrics across markets.

Platform

Build's platform turns every project into a system of action. Tracking, documents, and geospatial data in one place so teams spend less time coordinating and more time executing.

  • Every site, workflow, and deliverable tracked in one place – tasks, owners, and status across the full development lifecycle.

  • Secure, permissioned storage for diligence, financing, and stakeholder documents – organized by site and shareable in a click.

  • Every data layer – utilities, environmental, zoning, and market – mapped and queryable against any site or portfolio.

Infrastructure fit is assumed, not verified.

Motorway access, rail proximity, utilities. Assessed late, often manually, against data that is months old. Sites that looked right at the start cost millions to exit when the problems surface.

Planning risk is invisible until it is expensive.

Industrial development faces growing community opposition and extended planning timelines. The sites that look straightforward often are not. The risks only become clear after the costs are in.

Ground conditions derail late-stage deals.

Contamination, poor bearing capacity, flood risk. These are discovered through surveys that come after heads of terms. By then, renegotiating is hard and walking away is expensive.

STACK Infrastructure
"For a long time I’ve worked on projects for hyperscale, including at AWS. With Build, we can make quality decisions, faster. Build helps us find the fatal flaws in our pipeline, and helps us find and move faster on the sites that can work. Other developers are sleeping on this. I’m happy we’ve partnered with Build since the early days."

Case Studies.

Build sourcing workflow

01

Tier-One Data Centre Developer

A tier-one developer spent three to four months qualifying candidate sites in each target market, working from broker lists that surfaced only what was already listed, and never at parcel level.

Build scanned the entire search ring instead, assessing 47 parcels across 2,400 sq km and ranking the top eight against the buy box on power, planning, and environmental grounds. The scan came back in four days, with no broker fees.

02

Global Hyperscaler

A global hyperscaler ran desktop diligence through external consultants at six to eight weeks per site, with power, environmental, title, and zoning each handled by a different firm for $80-120k a site.

Build now returns the full desktop DD in two days: power availability, interconnection queue, zoning, flood, geotechnical, fiber, and community sentiment in one cited report, at a fraction of the consultant cost.

Institutional Developer

An institutional developer reviewed its pipeline quarterly, three analysts working sites one at a time – forty to fifty opportunities a year, scored differently in every market.

Build screened 300+ sites across six markets in a single cycle, applying one Infrastructure Readiness Score to all of them. The same three analysts now cover ten times the pipeline without additional headcount.

Government

A national government was selecting sites from developer submissions and broker proposals, with no systematic view of its own land base – decisions shaped by what was volunteered rather than what existed.

Build assessed every parcel in the country against power infrastructure, planning designation, grid capacity, and development feasibility, then ranked and mapped twelve AI Growth Zones. It took weeks, against the twelve-month study the conventional route would have needed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Site screens same day. Desktop due diligence in 2-3 business days. Site sourcing in 3-4 business days. Turnaround depends on project type and geography. If you have an urgent requirement, tell us and we will prioritise accordingly.

Digital infrastructure, energy, industrial, and institutional real estate. Data centres are our primary specialism. We cover all major geographies across North America, Europe, and APAC.

Proprietary datasets purchased directly from providers, including power and grid data, fiber infrastructure, and planning records. We also build and maintain our own geospatial database, Atlas, across 18+ countries. Every claim in a Build output is cited to its source.

Two layers. Agentic QA runs before any output reaches a reviewer: every claim is traced to an authoritative source and confidence-scored. Then Build's in-house domain experts review and validate the output before it is delivered. Nothing unverified ships.

Send us site coordinates, a redline, and any context you have. We handle the rest. For site sourcing, send us a search ring and your buy-box criteria.

Yes. Build operates under strict data confidentiality terms. Your site data, deal information, and client inputs are never shared with third parties or used outside your engagement. We are SOC 2 Type II certified.
