About us

Trust is the foundation of any collaboration. Beyond our product and the wonders it can do for your company's supply chain, here you can learn more about our history and what motivates us every day to make construction a sector at the forefront of digitalization.

Our history of entrepreneurship

We have been working for some time to digitalize the construction supply chain. Today we are in the top 20 of the  most innovative startups in Spain in 2021 according to El Referente, and in the top 3 of the most innovative companies in construction according to Estate Innovation.. Our vision is to offer the most complete, secure and efficient digital procurement ecosystem in construction. We’ve already come a long way, but how did we get started?

We decided to create Bildia in 2019 to solve existing problems in the processes of estimations, procurement and contracting of products and services for construction. We observed that builders, developers, suppliers and manufacturers suffer daily and in different ways from the inefficiencies of these processes, and we thought that any significant digital solution should be able to bring clear, specific and immediate value to each of the parties, and a positive balance to all of them. We believe we have succeeded: our model offers innovation without complications and without companies having to change the way they work: simply by harnessing the potential of digitalization, which already penetrates many aspects of our lives so easily.

We started presenting Bildia to act UPM, the longest-running digital entrepreneurship competition in Spain, and we were awarded, among 417 participants from all technical fields, for the potential of our business model. From then on, we put all our efforts, experience and resources at the service of the digitalization of our sector.

Using the know-how of the founding team, we developed the first version of our cloud software, which is now state-of-the-art technology. At Bildia we think that the best software is the one that is born to respond to specific problems and that is why we have made a product that is one hundred percent designed for the supply chain, and only for construction, to surprise you every day a little more, making your work more and more simple. To achieve this, the Bildia team places great value on the combination of two things: construction know-how and technological know-how.

After passing through act UPM we have also had the invaluable support of the Lanzadera acceleration program, of Google for Startups, from a group of renowned advisors in the sector who believe deeply in what we do, and from a top-level investment ecosystem in Europe, which knows the construction and real estate sector well and is a further guarantee of success in the medium and long term, so that we can continue to innovate in the construction sector. To all of them, to our team and our customers, we are deeply committed and grateful.

Where does our name come from?

We will be the most complete, efficient and secure supply ecosystem for construction in the digital world. Bildia is a transposition of the English verb BUILD into a community; a country of building in the digital world. We started in Spain, but we have an international focus. That is why our simple and direct name, with 6 letters and ending in "A", conveys the idea of service for all, efficiency, change, optimism and of course construction. Besides, we know that it can be pronounced anywhere.

Where does our logo come from?

Our logo is the fruit of our collaboration with the designer Rafa Celda. We have transformed the "B" in the Alphabet 1919™ by architect Theo Van Doesburg into our hallmark. By being enclosed in a square and using right angles, precise lines and simple geometry, it conveys the efficiency, strength and confidence we offer.

Its simplicity means you can interpret it in your own way, as flexible and easy to use as our software. Our "B" can also be an overlay of modules, a building, a floor plan, a bar chart, or a symbol of collaboration between companies.

Saving time and costs and improving your supply chain means bringing control, efficiency and confidence to your day-to-day life. Our corporate blue, calm, deep and without shadows or artifice, is related to this objective. It is also the color of balance and cooperation, which is key in digital relations between companies for the modernization of our sector.

Values and ideals

At Bildia we understand work as a way to improve society. There is only one life, so every minute of our work is gold, and we want to dedicate it to that which is important, such as the transformation of a sector as strategic as construction. These are some of the core values that guide us as a team, in making key decisions, in our relationship with clients and in our pursuit of innovation:

  • Innovation
    We are critical but positive and optimistic about our surroundings. We want our work to generate rapid, comprehensive and relevant changes for society. To achieve this, we always balance imagination with utility, technical feasibility and economic sustainability.
  • Excellence
    For us it is the commitment and the spirit of always trying to go one step beyond what is expected. In programming our software, in designing a simple implementation process, in mapping out our vision of digitalization for construction, our priorities for a positive impact, and in many other ways.
  • Client service
    Bildia was born to solve our clients problems in the supply chain. That is our priority and your satisfaction is our first indicator of success. For this, we create software that is intuitive, flexible and easy to implement, and we support you at all times.
  • Sustainability and Impact
    We use digitalization to multiply efficiency and enable a much deeper understanding of our industry's activities. Traceability of materials and emissions is one of many dreams we are gradually reaching as we build our digital ecosystem.
  • Transparency and professionalism
    Our operations, products and relationships foster a professional environment of the highest standard, demonstrating that with good communication and transparency within the competitive environment, everyone wins: people, companies and construction, globally.
