Dive Transient:

• Bedrock Robotics, a building know-how agency that retrofits current heavy equipment with autonomous know-how, has raised $270 million in a Series B funding round, in keeping with a Feb. 4 information launch from the agency. The spherical brings the corporate’s whole funding to over $350 million and its valuation to $1.75 billion.
• The agency’s flagship product is the Bedrock Operator, which makes use of lidar, GPS and movement sensors to allow current gear to navigate and carry out work on jobsites autonomously. Bedrock says it mounts to machines in only some hours, with no downtime or everlasting modifications to the gear.
• The funding spherical is the newest instance of a serious shift occurring in gear on the jobsite, as Bedrock isn’t the primary firm with an explosive, multimillion-dollar funding spherical in latest months.

Dive Perception:

Bedrock’s funding rise has been meteoric — it launched out of stealth in July 2025 with $80 million in Seed and Series A funding. Additional, in November, it accomplished a large-scale supervised autonomy test on a 130-acre manufacturing website for mass excavation through a partnership with Tempe, Arizona-based Sundt Development.

Bedrock’’s Collection B spherical is one other stroke of proof that enterprise capital within the contech area is looking for more mature companies to put money into. To that finish, the spherical isn’t the one large increase within the space of autonomous robotics — final summer time FieldAI, which creates a software program mind for robotics on the jobsite, raised $405 million.

As well as, Bedrock’s funding indicators an enormous shift towards automating heavy gear, Dan Laboe, founding principal of Nymbl Ventures, advised Development Dive. Laboe posited {that a} driving pressure of that pattern is building’s woeful comparability to different industries on productiveness features. 

“It’s not simply the U.S., it’s globally, and I feel one of many huge issues is that the gear simply has not elevated in effectivity,” Laboe advised Development Dive. “That is the place one thing like Bedrock and all the opposite heavy gear automators are coming into play.”

The spherical was co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, in keeping with the information launch. Different traders embrace actual property agency Tishman Speyer and the Massachusetts Institute of Expertise. Notably, investor NVentures — chipmaker Nvidia’s enterprise capital arm — additionally pumped money into FieldAI.

With the funding, Bedrock goals to advance its major aim of deploying particular person autonomous machines on building websites in addition to absolutely orchestrated fleets to extend productiveness and security.

“The development trade is being requested to construct greater than it may ship,” stated Boris Sofman, co-founder and CEO of Bedrock Robotics, within the information launch. “Contractors are pulled throughout competing priorities with the identical restricted workforce and gear. This funding helps us scale our growth and deployments as we mature autonomy capabilities and the instruments for contractors to leverage them.”
