Builders Update, a leading North American provider of new construction inventory data, has joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network, opening its inventory to international real estate markets. The partnership, announced on June 29, 2026, allows builders to reach a global audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors 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. Gaul also chairs the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, shaping 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, giving builders greater global visibility while preserving data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy.
"Builders Update is the only new construction source in the GDX network, and that's significant," Gaul said. "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. The federated model ensures data ownership remains with the source. GDX is a neutral network connecting MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate technology providers worldwide, built on the RESO Web API and RESO Data Dictionary to enable secure cross-border exchange of public listing data.
Builders Update serves builders, MLSs, brokers, and real estate professionals with innovative platforms and a commitment to data quality, advancing transparency and interoperability in the new construction sector. For more information, visit buildersupdate.com.
