OnsiteIQ
OnsiteIQ is a New York-based construction intelligence platform that combines 360-degree high-resolution site imagery with proprietary computer vision and AI to give real estate owners, developers, and lenders a verifiable view of what is happening on their job sites. Founded in 2017 by civil-engineering PhD Ardalan Khosrowpour, the company captures weekly imagery across thousands of active projects, maps it to floor plans and schedules, and turns it into progress, risk, and delay analytics so stakeholders can catch problems early and reduce costly disputes.

Shovels is an AI-powered building-permit intelligence platform that turns fragmented local-government data into a queryable source of truth on construction activity, covering more than 130 million permits across 1,800+ US jurisdictions.
