The Mistake Is Still on Paper
Buildcheck found a lucrative place to put computer vision: between the drawing that looks finished and the building that exposes every omission. Its bet is simple - catch the expensive surprise while it is still cheap to change.
Agave Built the Pipes Before It Turned On the AI
Construction's back office runs on software old enough to have a mortgage. Agave's clever move was not to replace it, but to teach it how to talk - then put AI to work on the conversation.
Construction AI Wants Your Drawings to Show Their Work
The Canadian company turns construction PDFs into usable data. Its latest assistant counts, measures and asks awkward questions about the numbers before they reach a bid.
MOCA Systems Built Software for the Moment the Schedule Lies
The MIT spinout pairs sticky-note-simple planning software with people who step into projects already sliding off the rails. Its advantage is knowing that a schedule is both data and a negotiation.
Kahua Tore Up the SaaS Blueprint - and Built Construction Software That Bends
After selling an early cloud construction platform, Scott Unger and Brian Moore decided the category's real problem was rigidity. Their second act is a configurable system of record for the people managing billions in concrete, contracts and change orders.
The Studio That Builds AI Companies for the Industries Silicon Valley Skips
A Boston venture studio is manufacturing AI startups for real estate, mortgages, and construction - the messy, high-barrier industries most software founders avoid. Here is how the co-founder model works.
Procore Technologies
A carpenter who got tired of paper blueprints built the software the construction industry now runs on - and priced it so nobody has to pay per seat.
Novade Solutions
Novade Solutions is a Singapore-based construction technology company that builds smart field management software for the building and infrastructure industry. Its mobile-first platform digitizes and automates on-site processes - quality control, safety inspections, site diaries, progress reporting, defect management and equipment maintenance - so contractors, developers and owners can capture what happens in the field and turn it into data managers can act on. Founded in 2014 by former Autodesk executive Denis Branthonne, Novade is used across roughly 25 countries and more than 10,000 sites, serving general contractors, real estate developers, trade contractors, home builders and government departments.
AI Clearing
AI Clearing is an Austin- and Warsaw-based construction technology company that turns drone imagery and site data into automated progress tracking, quality control, and field intelligence for large infrastructure projects. Its AI-native platform ingests drone flights, CAD/BIM designs, schedules, and mobile field data into a single source of truth, delivering analyzed progress reports typically within hours rather than weeks. Serving contractors, asset owners, and lenders on utility-scale solar, energy transmission, roads, railways, and earthworks, the company raised a $14M Series A in 2023 and was the first technology firm in the world to certify its AI management system against ISO 42001.
Boon
Boon builds AI agents that automate the paperwork-heavy back office of physical industries. Founded in 2023 by ex-Samsara product leader Deepti Yenireddy, the San Mateo company first launched a workflow platform for commercial fleets - handling order entry, load sourcing, compliance and fuel optimization - and has since pushed into construction, where its agents run preconstruction workflows from blueprint to bid, including takeoffs, clash detection and bid leveling. Boon raised $20.5M across seed and a $15.5M Series A led by Redpoint Ventures and Marathon in December 2024.
Offsight
Offsight is a San Francisco software company building a project management and production platform for the offsite construction, modular and prefab industry. Its mobile-first software helps factories and specialty contractors track production, quality, materials and labor in real time - replacing the spreadsheets that engineered-to-order manufacturers have long relied on. Founded in 2014 by Vikas Murali and Andrew Xue, the company raised a $2.5M seed round and counts large builders like Performance Contracting Inc., McCarthy Building Companies and Z Modular among its customers.
Primepoint
Primepoint is a San Mateo-based construction intelligence company whose AI reads and understands construction drawings the way an experienced project team does. Founded in 2024 by computer-vision pioneer Lubomir Bourdev and product veteran Hamid Palo, it builds a proprietary knowledge graph that links every drawing element - down to the tag level - to its schedule, specification, and related documents, then layers a natural-language assistant named Marvin on top so teams can ask project questions in plain English. The platform automates the manual, error-prone work of constructability reviews, RFI drafting, submittal comparison, and drawing overlays, flagging conflicts before they become field problems. Primepoint closed a $10M seed round in April 2026.
Structured AI
Structured AI builds an AI workforce for construction design engineering. Its computer-vision platform reviews technical drawings and construction documents the way spell-check reviews text - flagging code violations, cross-discipline clashes, and compliance gaps while leaving final calls to humans. Founded in 2025 by Oxford graduates and backed by Y Combinator, the New York company sells QA/QC automation to architecture, engineering, and construction firms.
Doxel
Doxel is a Menlo Park-based construction technology company that uses computer vision and AI to automatically track what is actually being built on large, complex job sites. By turning 360-degree camera footage, drone imagery and LiDAR scans into objective progress data and comparing it against the schedule, budget and BIM model, Doxel gives owners and general contractors early warning on cost and schedule risk - often described as a 'Waze for construction.' It has tracked billions of square feet of work for Fortune 500 customers including Kaiser Permanente, Shell, HCA and major data center developers.
