Builders Update Joins GDX Network to Expand New Construction Inventory Internationally

Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network, enabling builders to showcase their inventory to an international audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors. The partnership, announced June 29, 2026, leverages a federated, standards-based platform built on RESO standards, marking the first time new construction data can be exchanged across borders through a unified network.

Led by CEO Bill Gaul, who also chairs the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, Builders Update has long been at the forefront of transforming how builder data is shared. By integrating with GDX, the company connects its inventory to a growing international network while maintaining data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy for builders. Gaul emphasized the significance of this move: “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.”

The GDX network, a neutral, standards-based federation, facilitates secure cross-border exchange of public listing data while respecting local rules. For Builders Update, membership offers international exposure for new construction inventory, standards-based interoperability with global MLS markets, and opportunities for cross-border collaboration and referrals. Builders retain full control over their data, a key feature of the federated model.

This development is important for the real estate industry as it breaks down geographical barriers for new construction marketing. Previously, builders relied on domestic MLS systems or individual international listings, which fragmented exposure. Now, through GDX, a builder in Florida can have their properties visible to agents and investors in Europe or Asia, with currency and language localization already implemented. The move also underscores the growing adoption of RESO standards, which ensure consistent data formats across platforms, reducing friction for international transactions.
