Higharc Raises $95 Million Series C to Accelerate AI-Powered Homebuilding

By Nazish Shah • Mon Jul 06 2026

Higharc, the AI platform transforming the homebuilding lifecycle, has announced a $95 million Series C funding round led by Insight Partners, bringing its total funding to more than $170 million. Alongside the investment, the company also revealed a strategic partnership with US LBM, the largest private distributor of lumber and building materials in the United States, expanding its AI-powered estimating capabilities across the building materials supply chain.

As AI continues to reshape the construction industry, Higharc is redefining how homes are designed, estimated, and built. By replacing traditional CAD-based workflows with AI-driven spatial data models, the platform enables builders to automate complex design and estimating processes, reducing development timelines from months to weeks, accelerating community launches by 25–50%, and increasing project margins by 10–15%.

"AI isn't just assisting builders. It's reshaping how builders work, cutting time and cost per job while giving buyers a more personalized experience," said Marc Minor, CEO and Co-founder of Higharc. "The builders and distributors leading the way use AI to automate their most complex workflows, unlocking teams to focus on product improvement and customer experience."

The funding will support the expansion of Higharc's AI platform across the broader homebuilding ecosystem, including its new AI Estimating solution for building material distributors. Powered by its proprietary AutoTranslate AI, the technology converts 2D floor plans into intelligent 3D spatial models capable of generating highly accurate material takeoffs aligned with real-world construction requirements.

"We evaluated a lot of AI tools, but most produce outputs that require so much correction they're unusable. Higharc is different. It's grounded in how homes are actually built, so the outputs are usable from day one," said Kyle Bear, VP of Research and Development at Signature Homes. "Higharc helps us move faster and operate with more precision and fewer downstream surprises. As a result, we're breaking ground on more homes each year while protecting margins and pricing power."

Highlighting the value of the new partnership, Jonathan Greene, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at US LBM, said: "What sets Higharc apart for US LBM is the ability to go from a static 2D plan to a precise and dynamic 3D data model in one step. That unlocks not just fast, accurate quoting but smarter material planning, the ability to sell the whole home, and real-time collaboration with our customers."

Looking ahead, Higharc plans to deepen its AI capabilities while connecting builders and suppliers through a unified digital platform.

"Everything we're building is in service of one outcome: to make homebuilding seamless so builders can build better homes more affordably. This next phase is about scaling that impact by deepening our AI capabilities and bringing suppliers onto the same trusted system builders already rely on," added Marc Minor.

Backing the company's long-term vision, Josh Fredberg, Managing Director at Insight Partners, commented: "Higharc is setting the standard for how homes will be designed, permitted and built in the age of AI. Leading builders are already standardizing on the platform, and we have conviction that this extension into supplier workflows will transform the broader builder supply chain."
