What's the endgame? Birdsview builds a hardware and software platform it calls an "MRI for concrete," letting users inspect structures without drilling or damage. It combines ground penetrating radar (GPR), LiDAR, and 3D tracking with AI analytics to produce BIM-ready digital models accurate to the millimetre.
The technology helps engineers locate reinforcement and embedded elements while cutting the need for costly destructive testing — especially useful in renovation and retrofit projects.
Why now? The funding will support commercial expansion, industrial scaling, and international growth. Demand is rising for tools that extend the lifecycle of buildings, bridges, and other concrete infrastructure.
Since launching in January 2025, Birdsview has scanned more than 100 structures. After starting pre-sales in March 2026, it has signed customers in eight countries and worked with organisations including VinciDealroom has a profile for this one.

What they're saying: "The fact that customers in eight countries have already chosen Birdsview Concrete just weeks after launch shows that we are solving a real problem for the industry," said chief executive officer Olav Skogen.
Kiilto Ventures managing director Matti Rönkkö said the firm sees "strong potential to create value across the built environment," citing the industry's push for more sustainable ways to maintain and extend existing structures.
The signal: At €3.7 million, the round sits in the 60th percentile for deals of its kind — a solid but not outsized early raise. It reflects growing investor appetite for construction technology aimed at reducing demolition, waste, and unnecessary interventions as the sector leans toward reuse over rebuild.
