Builders Update Joins GDX Network, Expanding New Construction Inventory to Global Markets

Builders Update, one of North America's leading providers of new construction inventory data, has officially joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network. The partnership gives builders access to an international audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors, expanding the reach of new construction inventory beyond domestic markets 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, connecting new construction inventory with the MLSs, brokers, and agents who need it. Gaul also serves as Chair of the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, where he helps shape the 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. According to Gaul, "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."

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. This move is significant for the Texas construction industry, as builders in the state can now showcase their properties to a global audience, potentially attracting international buyers and investors. The partnership also supports the growing trend of data standardization in real estate, making it easier for professionals to access and share listing information across borders.

The GDX network 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, GDX enables the secure exchange of public listing data across borders while preserving data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy.
