Builders Update Joins GDX – Global Data Exchange, Opening New Construction Inventory to International Real Estate Markets


BOCA RATON, FL – June 29, 2026 – 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.

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” states Gaul.
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, referrals – all within a federated model that keeps data ownership firmly with the source.
