Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has officially joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network. The partnership, announced on June 29, 2026, connects builders with 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. The company connects 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 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," states Gaul. "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 partnership offers builders 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 real estate industry as it breaks down barriers between domestic and international markets, allowing builders to reach a broader audience without sacrificing control over their data.
GDX – Global Data Exchange 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.
