Higharc Secures $95M to Expand AI Platform Into Building Supply Chain

Durham-based Higharc has raised $95 million in a Series C funding round led by Insight Partners, pushing its total capital to over $170 million. The company plans to leverage the new investment to extend its generative AI platform beyond home design and into the materials distribution market via US LBM.

Higharc replaces traditional software like AutoCAD by generating homes as spatial databases that incorporate construction standards and geometry. This approach allows builders to automate design, estimating, and sales workflows, reducing product development timelines from months to weeks. According to CEO Marc Minor, the platform’s ability to move beyond basic spatial reasoning is what distinguishes it from other AI systems that struggle with the complexities of residential construction.

As part of this expansion, Higharc is launching an AI-powered estimating product designed for building materials distributors. US LBM, the largest private distributor of lumber and building materials in the U.S., will serve as the first partner for this tool. The product utilizes Higharc’s AutoTranslate AI to convert 2D floorplan images into 3D spatial models, allowing distributors to generate precise material takeoffs that reflect actual building requirements rather than rough approximations.

This funding round includes participation from Wellington Management and existing investors such as Fifth Wall, Spark Capital, and Lux Capital. For industry players like Signature Homes, the technology has already proven its value by reducing downstream surprises and increasing operational precision. With this capital injection, Higharc aims to unify builders and suppliers on a single digital system, further scaling its influence across the residential construction sector.
