Cordeel Group Leads the Way in Construction Innovation with Strategic AI Partner Neuron Factory
Cordeel Group, one of Europe’s premier one-stop partners for the complete construction process, today announced a strategic partnership with Silicon Valley-based AI startup Neuron Factory, Inc. This collaboration marks a bold step forward in Cordeel’s mission to transform the construction industry through innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
“At Cordeel Group, innovation is not just a strategy—it’s a catalyst for meaningful change and a reflection of our deeper purpose to build a more sustainable world for people and planet," said Pascale Van Damme, CEO of Cordeel Group. "This partnership is a powerful step forward in our mission to transform the construction industry into a connected, intelligent, and regenerative ecosystem. By embracing AI, we’re not just enhancing our operations—we’re empowering our people, strengthening collaboration across the value chain, and creating the data foundation for transparent, traceable building passports that serve the EU’s climate goals. Together with Neuron Factory, we are shaping a future where innovation serves society, and where progress is measured not only in efficiency, but in the lasting value we create for generations to come."
As the first construction company to pilot Neuron Factory’s AI co-worker platform, Cordeel is advancing its mission to make construction more efficient, transparent, and sustainable. Integrated seamlessly into existing workflows, the platform enables smarter decision-making, faster execution, and more efficient use of materials—delivering greater value to customers while supporting the industry’s transition to a lower-impact, data-driven future. This collaboration marks an important step forward in Cordeel’s long-term vision: building intelligently today to shape a better-built environment for tomorrow.
“Implementing the Neuron Factory AI co-worker is a strategic move aimed at addressing critical challenges in our industry, specifically to combat projects finishing over budget and behind schedule,” said Kris Van Haverbeke, Chief Growth Officer of Cordeel Group. “We envision it as an intelligent assistant integrated into our daily operations, augmenting our existing teams, allowing them to focus on their core expertise. This approach is how we will collectively boost productivity and operational efficiency across Cordeel projects.”
The collaboration with Neuron Factory supports Cordeel’s broader ambition to help shift the construction sector from a carbon emitter to a carbon sink. By leveraging AI to streamline operations and capture critical data across the building lifecycle, Cordeel is laying the foundation for future-proof, low-carbon construction that meets the evolving regulatory and environmental standards of the European Union.
Neuron Factory’s AI co-worker platform is powered by a proprietary enterprise task graph—a dynamic system that maps tasks, roles, and knowledge across an organization. This enables AI agents to operate intelligently within complex construction environments, supporting real-time coordination, task delegation, and decision-making.
“We’re proud to partner with Cordeel Group, a company that shares our belief in the transformative power of AI,” said Zaid Kahn, CEO and co-founder of Neuron Factory. “Cordeel’s leadership and vision are helping shape the future of construction, and we’re excited to support their journey with our AI co-worker platform.”
Neuron Factory was founded by a seasoned team of technology leaders: Zaid Kahn, formerly Vice President of Engineering at Microsoft; Salil Pandit, former Chief Product & Technology Officer at PrimaryBid and Engineering Lead at Waymo; and partners. Their combined expertise spans AI systems, model training, and datacenter infrastructure—now focused on revolutionizing enterprise work in construction.
The company also announced $6 million in seed funding, from Activant Capital, Colle Capital, Karman Ventures, Punch Capital, and strategic investors including Filip Cordeel, Chairman of Cordeel Group.
“At Cordeel, we have always believed in the power of innovation to drive human progress,” said Filip Cordeel. “This partnership with Neuron Factory is a testament to our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to create a more efficient, sustainable, and future-proof construction industry. We are honored to lead this groundbreaking transformation, driven by a vision that will not only elevate our projects but also inspire lasting, positive change for our industry and our planet.”
“We believe that Neuron Factory isn’t just building another enterprise tool, they’re creating a new way for people and AI to work together,” said Victoria Grace, founding partner at Colle Capital. “Their approach to embedding agentic intelligence through a task graph and orchestration—where AI agents don’t just assist but autonomously learn, adapt, and collaborate—is exactly what the future of labor requires.”
