Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network. The partnership, announced on June 29, 2026, enables builders to reach an international audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors, marking the first time new construction inventory is accessible beyond domestic markets 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 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, offering 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. 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," Gaul stated.
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. GDX is a neutral, standards-based, federated network connecting MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate technology providers worldwide, built on the RESO Web API and RESO Data Dictionary. Builders Update, headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, serves builders, MLSs, brokers, and real estate professionals with innovative platforms and a commitment to data quality, advancing transparency, interoperability, and collaboration in the new construction sector.
