Higharc Rapid Growth Earns the #517 Spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000
The company grew 5x faster than this year's median honoree, reflecting builders' and suppliers' accelerating adoption of AI.
Durham, N.C., Aug. 11, 2026 — Higharc announced today that it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Higharc ranked No. 517 overall in its first year on the list and was one of the top companies in the construction category. Past Inc. 5000 honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, and Zoom.
Higharc’s homebuilding AI platform automates work across design, permitting, estimating, and sales. Builders realize faster product development timelines, cut time to community open, and increase per-home revenue. Earlier this year, Higharc announced an expansion of its AI Estimating product into the building materials supply chain, starting with distributor US LBM.
Marc Minor, Higharc's CEO and co-founder, attributes the company's growth to a shift in homebuilding as builders and distributors turn to AI to become more competitive in a constrained housing market.
"Builders and distributors are adapting how they work to leverage AI," said Marc Minor, CEO of Higharc. "Higharc helps automate their most complex workflows, from design to estimating to sales, so their teams can focus on the homes themselves. That shift is what's driving Higharc’s continued growth."
