A New York company selling design software and the facade itself - turning months of drawings into a week, and a construction crew into a delivery schedule.
Dextall is a construction technology company built around a simple, stubborn observation: the outside of a building - the facade - is one of the most expensive, slow, and error-prone parts of putting up a mid- or high-rise, and almost none of it is designed to be manufactured. Founded in 2020 by Aurimas Sabulis, the company set out to change the method rather than the financing.
The pitch has two halves that only make sense together. The first is software: Dextall Studio takes a schematic architectural design and converts it into fully detailed, fabrication-ready models with cost estimates - a process the company says can happen in under a week, against a traditional facade-engineering timeline it measures in many months. The second is the physical product: light-gauge, metal-framed unitized wall panels that arrive with windows and cladding already installed, manufactured off-site by certified regional partners and lifted into place on the job site.
Put the two together and Dextall is not selling a drawing set or a shipment of panels. It is selling the whole path from concept to installed wall, run through one operating system with real-time project data along the way.
AI-assisted design software that turns schematic concepts into detailed, fabrication-ready models and cost estimates - reportedly in under a week versus a traditional multi-month timeline.
Light-gauge, metal-framed unitized exterior wall panels with integrated windows and cladding, built off-site by certified regional fabricators and installed rapidly on site.
End-to-end coordination of design, fabrication, logistics, and installation - the reason Dextall describes itself as vertically integrated rather than a point tool.
The problems it sets out to solve are the ones that make housing slow and expensive: facade engineering that drags on for months, unpredictable on-site labor, material waste, and building envelopes that leak energy for decades after the ribbon is cut.
Compresses facade design from up to 36 months down to about a week, and cuts design-to-install timelines by up to 80%.
Shifts work from the job site to the factory, reducing on-site labor by as much as 87%.
Better-performing, Passive House-ready envelopes that Dextall says can lower operational energy costs by around 20%.
What makes it different is the coupling. Plenty of startups build the factory or write the design tool. Dextall did both and wired them together, so the software assumes the factory from the first click.
Owning both the design IP and the panel system is the moat - competitors tend to hold only one side.
Panels are produced by certified partners near each project rather than in one giant plant, letting capacity scale through logistics instead of concrete.
The alternatives are traditional curtain-wall subcontractors, panelized-wall manufacturers, and prefab peers such as Wall'up Prefa - most without the software layer.

A hybrid of recurring software revenue from Dextall Studio and project revenue from designing, fabricating, and installing facade panels. Because panels are built by certified regional partners rather than fully in-house, Dextall scales capacity through partnerships while keeping the software and system IP.
Dextall aims at mid- and high-rise residential and mixed-use construction, positioned inside the wider proptech and offsite-construction wave and explicitly framed around the affordable-housing crisis. Named collaborators include SOM, SLCE Architects, Turner Construction, and Suffolk Construction.
Anchored by developers who control tens of thousands of housing units, plus a global structural-products manufacturer.
Total raised to date, including earlier support from Winklevoss Capital, Lago Innovation Fund, and grant backing tied to energy-efficient facade work (NYSERDA).
Series A funds are earmarked for Dextall Studio development, expansion into Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Chicago, and growing fabrication capacity.
Aurimas Sabulis founds INTUS Windows, bringing high-performance European glazing to U.S. high-rises.
Sabulis launches Dextall to prefabricate the entire building facade, pairing design software with unitized panels.
Dextall signs roughly $50M in new contracts and grows toward a ~$110M project backlog.
Leading developers and Simpson Strong-Tie back the AI-powered prefab platform, with Winklevoss Capital participating.
It designs and delivers prefabricated exterior wall panels for mid- and high-rise buildings, combining proprietary design software with factory-built, unitized facade units that include windows and cladding.
Aurimas Sabulis founded Dextall in 2020. He previously founded INTUS Windows, a commercial glazing company serving U.S. high-rises.
About $18M total, including a $15M Series A closed in July 2025 led by L+M Development Partners, Essence Development, and Simpson Strong-Tie, with Winklevoss Capital participating.
It integrates design software with off-site manufacturing, so a facade can be designed in about a week and installed with far less field labor - Dextall cites up to 80% faster timelines and up to 87% less on-site labor.
It operates out of the New York area with a corporate address in Fairfax, Virginia. Customers are architects, developers, and general contractors, with named collaborators including SOM, SLCE Architects, Turner Construction, and Suffolk Construction.
