Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has officially joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network. This partnership allows Builders Update to offer its clients access to an international audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors, expanding the reach of new construction inventory beyond domestic markets for the first time through a federated, standards-based platform.
Led by CEO Bill Gaul, Builders Update has transformed how builder data is shared across the real estate ecosystem, connecting new construction inventory with MLSs, brokers, and agents. Gaul also serves as Chair of the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, helping shape industry standards for reliable cross-platform data exchange.
By joining GDX, Builders Update connects its inventory to a growing international network built on RESO standards. This gives builders greater global visibility while preserving data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy. According to Gaul, 'Builders Update is the only new construction source in the GDX network, and that’s significant. Builders are realizing there is one place to go if they want exposure not only in the US but worldwide. Through GDX, we’re able to connect that inventory to an international audience – and we’ve already converted our platform to nine languages and nine currencies to make that a reality.'
Through its GDX membership, Builders Update gains international exposure for new construction inventory, standards-based interoperability with global MLS markets, and new opportunities for cross-border collaboration and referrals – all within a federated model that keeps data ownership firmly with the source. The GDX network, a neutral, standards-based, federated network connecting MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate technology providers worldwide, is built on the RESO Web API and RESO Data Dictionary. It enables secure exchange of public listing data across borders while preserving data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy.
Builders Update’s platform serves builders, MLSs, brokers, and real estate professionals by advancing transparency, interoperability, and collaboration within the new construction sector. For more information, visit buildersupdate.com.
