Procore Technologies is buying DroneDeploy for approximately $845m (£632m) in cash.

Procore has launched a connected common data environment (CDE). The construction software developer describes it as “a purpose-built CDE from the ground up on a single platform to unify and verify project data from approved design to handover, capturing evidence in the flow of work to help keep the digital record aligned with site reality”.

Procore has added agentic AI to its platform that tackles deep searches, submittals, RFIs, daily logs and contract reviews.

With building control approvals at a record high, platforms like Procore can help teams standardise and automate some of the most onerous tasks in the Gateway 2 submissions. Brett King explains how.
