Listen, this isn't about just another software company looking for buzz with some shiny AI tools. We're talking Digs teaming up with Matt Risinger—one of the most trusted voices in residential construction—to push the boundaries of how we build homes. That partnership was announced in Vancouver on July 24, 2026, and it's set to shake things up in ways other tech hasn't even dreamed of touching yet.
A Bold Step Forward for Builders
AI in construction isn't just a pipe dream anymore. It's becoming the backbone of how builders document, maintain, and even plan the next stages of their projects. Through this new alliance, Digs is hell-bent on showing builders not just the why, but the how of AI. It's all about breaking down the hype so that builders large and small can start seeing real returns in their everyday work.
Breaking Down Digs’ Transformative Tech
Digs isn't messing around. This platform is loading up on features that go beyond the superficial. Take the AskDigs™ AI feature, for example. Instead of wasting time hunting through plans, builders can now pull up answers from documents almost instantly. It's like putting a supercharged brain behind your build.
Then you've got AI-powered takeoffs, cranking out measurements and quantities faster than it takes to brew a morning coffee. You cut down on guesswork and wasted hours—both of which eat straight into profits.
"Our mission is to help builders unlock that information and put it to work," said Ryan Fink, CEO of Digs. "Matt has built an extraordinary reputation by helping builders understand what's worth paying attention to and what's not."
From Project Data to Real-World Applications
The real gem here is how these technologies turn raw project data into digestible, actionable insights. Picture this: transforming those 2D blueprints sitting in a digital drawer into a 3D, walk-through-able home model, helping everyone involved from the builders to the clumsy homeowner understand exactly what's going on with the design.
And here’s where that digital handoff, DigsCare™, steps in. The homeowner gets an all-access pass to a digital footprint of their house, from the nuts and bolts of the place to the shiny stainless-steel refrigerator. This is where the future lies—in transparency and continued builder-homeowner connections that don’t just end once the keys are handed over.
Cashing In on Content and Education
To bridge the knowledge gap, Digs and The Build Show Network kick off a trove of educational content, from podcasts to practical guides that aim to wake builders up to the vast treasure trove they’re sitting on—years of accumulated project data that’s just waiting to be mined.
- AI transforming builders’ workflow.
- Reducing costly re-do's via improved collaboration.
- Unleashing project data for future innovation.
Matt Risinger nails it by saying, "What impressed me about Digs is that they're not building AI for the sake of AI— they're solving real problems builders deal with every day." That's influence speaking right there—not just fluff.
Bracing for a New Age in Construction
In a space traditionally resistant to dizzying tech incursions, this is a platform playing the long game. It's about setting a digital foundation for future builds, making sure every nail and screw has its place in the grand scheme of things. Builders from North America are already on the Digs train to reduce mistakes and optimize their portfolios.
Whether this is the dawn of AI truly transforming construction remains to be seen, but the groundwork laid by Digs and Matt Risinger seems poised to turn skeptics into believers.
So, if you're in the game of building or investing in where construction's headed next, keep an ear to the ground. This partnership is a bellwether of how far AI can take one of humanity's oldest vocations into the digital era.
