The Nodes & Links AI-powered schedule management platform has raised $12m (£9.5m) in Series B funding.
Nodes & Links’ flagship platform integrates siloed data, automates reporting, and provides real-time insights to help teams proactively manage largescale projects. By predicting risks and highlighting critical information instantly, the platform allows project managers to focus on solving challenges rather than sifting through data, the startup claims.
“Construction is a backbone of modern life, but it’s plagued by inefficiencies and outdated processes,” said Greg Lawton, CEO of Nodes & Links. “Our AI flips the script, enabling teams to anticipate challenges, make smarter decisions, and deliver on time and budget.”
With this funding, the London-based startup plans to expand its AI capabilities, grow its reach in high-demand sectors like infrastructure and data centres, and further position itself as the go-to solution for construction teams worldwide. The funding was led by ETF Partners.
In announcing the funding round, Nodes & Links highlighted its work with two key clients. On a data centre project with Turner & Townsend, it automated programme management tasks and delivered actionable insights in seconds, replacing processes that once took days.
“By identifying critical insights efficiently, project managers can focus on mitigating challenges and improving outcomes,” said T&T.
Greener projects
Meanwhile, Aecom has adopted the startup’s platform to advance its sustainability goals.
“Nodes & Links enables our teams to unlock tailored predictive insights quickly and easily, allowing us to fine-tune plans and monitor them closely throughout execution,” said Richard Newey, project controls director at Aecom. “This approach has led to healthier, more efficient, and greener project outcomes.”
Other notable businesses that have used Nodes & Links are Galliford Try Highways and BAM.
In 2022, Nodes & Links was one of two UK startups among 10 chosen by Vinci to receive support from its Catalyst programme. It also featured on the Cemex Ventures’ Top 50 ConTech Startups list for 2021.
