Facility Grid Acquires PingCx to Launch Unified Building Lifecycle Platform

By Nazish Shah • Thu Aug 13 2026

Facility Grid, a leading provider of cloud-based commissioning, operational readiness, and sustainability software for the construction industry, has acquired PingCx, an autonomous commissioning platform for building automation systems.

The acquisition marks a major step in Facility Grid’s evolution from a commissioning platform into a unified building lifecycle software company. Alongside the acquisition, the company has introduced a new product strategy built around three integrated offerings: FG Construct, FG Validate, and FG Sustain, bringing AI-powered capabilities together on a single platform to manage building performance from construction through long-term operations.

By connecting construction commissioning, automated building systems validation, and ongoing operational performance, Facility Grid aims to eliminate disconnected point solutions and help owners, contractors, engineering firms, commissioning providers, and automation teams improve building quality, accelerate project delivery, and maintain performance throughout the building lifecycle.

“Buildings shouldn’t start to degrade the day construction ends,” said Daniel Russo, CEO of Facility Grid. “Our vision is to create the system of record for engineering to maintain and improve building performance. Bringing PingCx into Facility Grid, and the announcement of FG Sustain, accelerates that vision and gives customers an integrated platform that improves every stage of the building lifecycle.”

Founded in 2024, PingCx connects directly to building automation systems to automate functional performance testing and continuously validate building operations against design intent. Following the acquisition, PingCx will become FG Validate, providing automated point-to-point checkout, pre-functional and functional performance testing, and sequence-of-operations verification.

The platform will also include FG Construct, which focuses on commissioning, quality management, operational readiness, equipment installation, and turnover, while FG Sustain, launching in September 2026, will extend the platform into ongoing property assessments, including energy audits, utility analysis, carbon reporting, performance modeling, and energy optimization.

“PingCx was founded to modernize commissioning through automation,” said Seth Hemley, Principal Investor and Chairman of the Board of PingCx. “We're excited about the exceptional synergy with the Facility Grid product offerings. Our joint customers seek integrated, complete solutions, and this acquisition gives them exactly that from a single connected platform.”

The acquisition strengthens Facility Grid’s position across sectors including data centers, healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, offices, and other mission-critical facilities, while advancing its vision of connecting the entire building lifecycle through one intelligent platform.

“Customers want fewer disconnected tools and greater continuity across the building lifecycle,” Russo added. “With Construct, Validate, and Sustain, we’re delivering one unified platform.”

The move highlights a broader shift in the built environment toward AI-powered, connected building systems that bring construction, commissioning, operations, and sustainability together to improve long-term building performance.
