Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has officially joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network, the company announced June 29, 2026. The partnership allows builders to reach an international audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors for the first time through a federated, standards-based platform.
Led by CEO Bill Gaul, Builders Update has built a reputation for transforming how builder data is shared across the real estate ecosystem. Gaul also serves as Chair of the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, helping shape industry standards that make cross-platform data exchange reliable and consistent. 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. 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 said.
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 firmly with the source. GDX is a neutral, standards-based network connecting MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate technology providers worldwide, built on the RESO Web API and RESO Data Dictionary.
