Digs Raises $25.3M Series A With Builders FirstSource

Digs is receiving two forms of leverage from Builders FirstSource at once. The Vancouver, Washington construction-software company announced a $25.3M Series A led solely by Builders FirstSource, alongside a five-year commercial agreement that connects investment capital with product and distribution work.

The arrangement is intended to bring Digs' AI platform into Builders FirstSource's digital ecosystem for residential homebuilders. It gives Digs access to product data, industry relationships, and a network serving more than 140,000 customers, while giving Builders FirstSource a stake in software designed to carry construction information from estimating and purchasing through warranty and homeownership.

That combination matters because construction loses context at every handoff. Plans, specifications, selections, approvals, product records, warranties, emails, texts, and field decisions may all describe the same home without living in the same system. Digs is trying to turn that scattered record into infrastructure that builders can query during construction and homeowners can keep after move-in.

What Happened

Builders FirstSource is the solo lead investor in Digs' $25.3M Series A, announced on August 25, 2026. The companies also entered a five-year commercial agreement intended to accelerate product development, deepen platform integration, and expand AI capabilities across pre-construction, procurement, construction, homeowner handoff, warranty, and aftercare.

The primary announcement does not disclose Digs' valuation, Builders FirstSource's ownership stake, other Series A participants, or a detailed rollout schedule. It describes planned capabilities, including AI chat, e-signatures, QR codes, visual coordination, homeowner communication, maintenance guidance, and warranty support. Those plans establish the direction of the partnership, but they are not yet evidence of adoption across Builders FirstSource's network.

Builders FirstSource is more than a familiar logo on the cap table. The Irving, Texas company operates approximately 565 locations across 43 states and supplies structural building products, components, services, and digital tools to professional builders. The five-year agreement gives the investment an operating surface where Digs can be tested against real projects, data, customers, and field constraints.

How Digs Turns Construction Data Into A Home Record

Digs was founded in 2022 by Ryan Fink, CEO, and Ty Frackiewicz, CPO. Digs' account of its origin begins with Fink building a family home and working with Frackiewicz, a former builder and technology leader, to confront the industry's reliance on paper, PDFs, and fragmented communication. Jason Goetz is the company's CTO.

The Digs platform ingests construction documents and project information, then structures them into a searchable source of truth. Builders can use AskDigs to retrieve information from plans and files, while takeoff, diagramming, collaboration, e-signature, task, and approval tools are designed to keep decisions attached to the project record. After construction, Digs carries that information into a 3D digital twin that supports homeowner handoff, maintenance, warranty, and aftercare.

That continuity is the commercial thesis. A selection made during design can affect purchasing, installation, homeowner communication, and a warranty claim years later. When each stage reconstructs the same answer from a different file or conversation, software adoption can add another system without reducing the work. Digs and Builders FirstSource are betting that one structured home record can remain useful across those stages.

The Capital Record

Digs' financing history requires careful arithmetic because earlier announcements used different round labels. The company came out of stealth with a $7M pre-seed in 2023, then raised a $7M Seed in January 2024 led by Oregon Venture Fund and Legacy Capital Ventures. An additional $5M financing announced in November 2025 brought pre-Series A funding to nearly $20M.

The new $25.3M Series A brings Digs' disclosed financing to approximately $44.3M. The current release names only Builders FirstSource as solo lead and does not identify other participants. It also does not disclose valuation, revenue, ownership, board changes, or detailed use-of-funds allocation beyond product development, integration, and expanded AI capabilities.

Earlier backers have included Oregon Venture Fund, Legacy Capital Ventures, Fuse, Flying Fish, Betaworks, Portland Seed Fund, Cascade Seed Fund, Deepwater Asset Management, SPLY Capital, and Digs customer Lanthorne Homes. Those prior syndicates supported Digs before a national building-products supplier paired a venture check with a multiyear commercial relationship.

Why The Strategic Structure Matters

Vertical software companies often spend years earning the distribution and data relationships that make their products useful. Builders FirstSource can shorten that route by bringing Digs closer to the people, products, and information moving through residential construction. In return, Builders FirstSource gains a potential software layer that can make its digital ecosystem more valuable between material orders and long after a home closes.

The structure can also create concentration. A strategic investor may shape integrations, product priorities, customer access, and the pace at which a startup becomes embedded in one incumbent's ecosystem. Digs will need to turn that proximity into broader product strength while keeping the platform useful to builders, trades, designers, vendors, and homeowners whose workflows extend beyond a single supplier.

The market timing adds pressure. Builders are operating against affordability constraints, labor shortages, margin pressure, and slower housing activity. Software earns budget when it removes time, rework, uncertainty, or customer friction. The five-year agreement gives Digs a runway to prove those benefits, but it also makes measured operating results more important than the ambition of the announcement.

What Digs And Builders FirstSource Must Prove

HousingWire's reporting includes early company claims that Digs can reduce some takeoff and diagramming tasks by 80% to 90% and perform roughly 700 AI takeoffs in the time required for one manual estimate. Digs previously reported nearly 10,000 homes on its platform and builders representing more than $12B in annual home builds. These figures are useful signals, but they remain company reported rather than independently audited performance.

The stronger evidence will come from shipped integrations, active builders, reliable data transfer, shorter cycle times, fewer errors, reduced warranty work, and homeowner use after move-in. Digs must preserve the context of a home as the record moves through more products, teams, and decisions. Builders FirstSource must show that its reach can make the platform more useful without turning the partnership into another disconnected layer in the construction stack.

The $25.3M buys Digs time, talent, and a strategic route into a national network. The five-year agreement supplies the operating environment where its claims can be tested. Every estimate, selection, approval, handoff, and warranty request that moves through that environment will add to the same living question: can one home record stay coherent for the full life of the asset?
