Brickanta secures funding to scale AI-driven project planning

Stockholm-based Brickanta, a technology company developing an agentic AI platform for the built environment, has raised $8m (€7.4m) in a seed funding round led by venture capital firm Northzone.

Tech.eu wrote in its reporting that the round also attracted backing from founders of Lovable and Tandem Health, global sports figures, and angel investors linked to OpenAI, Google and Meta. Existing supporters Y Combinator and SSE Business Lab continued their involvement. Brickanta is headquartered in Sweden and focuses on software designed specifically for construction workflows.

Brickanta is building an AI-native operating system initially targeting pre-construction activities, including bid analysis, cost estimation and procurement. These processes sit at the centre of project performance, influencing margins, delivery timelines and exposure to commercial risk. 

The platform combines artificial intelligence with sector-specific data, standards and documentation to help teams identify gaps, assess risk and prepare procurement materials faster than traditional methods.

The company reports that hundreds of users have already adopted the platform, with construction teams using it across eleven countries on four continents. 

Clients connect their internal data to generate AI-led analysis, with early identification and accurate pricing of change orders cited as factors that can materially affect project viability. Procurement teams are also using the system to generate category-specific RFP packages in minutes rather than days.

Lucas Otterling, co-founder and chief executive of Brickanta, said engagement has been strong despite the sector’s reputation for slow technology uptake. He noted that demand is being driven by a new generation of builders seeking tools aligned with real-world construction workflows.
