Procore to acquire DroneDeploy for $845M, folding reality-capture AI into the construction platform

Procore announced on July 29, 2026 a definitive agreement to buy reality-capture company DroneDeploy for about $845 million in cash, pairing Procore’s project records with DroneDeploy’s jobsite imagery — roughly 20 trillion square feet of visual data — for AI that sees and acts on the jobsite. The deal is expected to close later this year, subject to regulatory approval.

What it means Construction’s biggest software platform is betting $845M that jobsite AI needs eyes — a demand-side signal for anyone selling or buying applied AI in the built world.
