Cloud marketplace collaboration accelerates AI-driven construction workflows and BIM coordination.
United States, August 28, 2025
Procore Technologies and Amazon Web Services have entered a multi-year strategic collaboration to co-invest in AI, machine learning, data operability and joint go-to-market programs for the construction industry. The agreement includes listing the Procore construction management platform in a major cloud marketplace to simplify procurement and scaling. Joint development will focus on AI-powered workflows, automated RFI and submittal processing, predictive analytics for delay forecasting, and improved BIM visualization and clash detection. The partnership aims to improve collaboration across owners, contractors and architects while addressing data security, interoperability and adoption challenges.
What happened: On August 26, 2025, Procore Technologies and Amazon Web Services announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA). The deal commits both companies to co-invest in product innovation and joint go-to-market activities, with a primary focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, data operability and analytics. Procore’s construction management platform has also been added to the AWS Marketplace, designed to make procurement and scaling easier for customers.
The SCA targets faster product development in AI and data tools intended to help construction teams build more efficiently, reduce risk and make data-driven decisions. The collaboration includes joint development of AI workflows and data-sharing tools to support seamless collaboration among architects, owners, general contractors and subcontractors. The partners plan co-investments across the global construction sector and in adjacent verticals that drive construction initiatives.
The agreement is pitched to streamline operations from bidding through project completion. Expected improvements include automation of repetitive tasks such as processing requests for information and submittal reviews, and the use of predictive analytics to forecast potential delays by combining historical records with real-time inputs. Companies piloting the tools report clearer project KPIs and faster access to actionable project analytics.
Making Procore available in the AWS Marketplace aims to simplify procurement for enterprise customers and accelerate deployment at scale. Joint go-to-market and co-marketing initiatives are part of the agreement to drive adoption among AWS customers and broader industry users.
At least one large contractor is already collaborating with both providers to digitize construction management workflows, citing improved access to real-time data and better sightlines into project health. Industry observers see the move as likely to accelerate AI adoption across construction, expand predictive maintenance capabilities and support sustainability tracking tied to project decisions.
The collaboration follows Procore’s recent investments in Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities, including acquisitions aimed at faster 3D model viewing and automated design coordination. One acquired product claims significantly faster model processing compared with current industry norms, and another offers automated clash detection already used by very large contractors. Once integrated, those BIM capabilities are expected to improve visibility into complex models and link design coordination directly to construction execution.
Observers and practitioners note potential challenges, including ensuring strong data security and navigating regulatory requirements that vary by jurisdiction. Addressing these concerns will be important as data sharing expands across multiple stakeholders in a project lifecycle.
The collaboration was described as non-monetary in structure, centered on mutual investment in product workstreams and market activities rather than a direct cash transaction. Market analysts viewed the announcement as a generally positive signal for the company involved in construction software. The company also reaffirmed its prior financial guidance and disclosed a planned CEO succession process, with the current CEO remaining in post until a successor is appointed and the board conducting a comprehensive search.
Industry commentators anticipate the partnership may raise the bar for how construction data is used to predict risks, allocate resources and reduce rework. The move is seen as part of a broader trend of cloud providers extending AI and analytics capabilities into specific industries, with potential long-term effects on productivity and project outcomes.
A: They signed a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement to co-invest in AI, machine learning, data operability and analytics for construction, and Procore’s platform was added to the AWS Marketplace.
A: The stated goals are to accelerate product development in AI and data operability, streamline construction workflows, reduce project risk and enable data-driven decision making at scale.
A: Builders may see more automation of routine tasks, predictive insights to flag potential delays, improved model visualization and enhanced coordination across multiple stakeholders.
A: Procore’s platform is listed in the AWS Marketplace to simplify procurement; additional capabilities developed under the SCA will roll out over time through joint development efforts.
A: The agreement is structured as a mutual co-investment in product and go-to-market activities and was described as non-monetary in terms of direct payment between the companies.
A: Key risks include protecting project and owner data, complying with regional regulations, and achieving smooth integration across existing tools and workflows.
A: The company involved has recently expanded BIM capabilities through acquisitions, and the SCA may accelerate integration of BIM workflows and digital twin use cases into construction operations.
