Checktobuild

Seed Round in 2023
CHECKTOBUILD is born because of the necessities that the construction sector presents nowadays. Considering only construction megaprojects, this sector is moving around 7 trillion $ a year. And following their previsions, megaprojects are going to grow a 109% in the next 10 years. It is extremely huge. So, it is absolutely incoherent that 1200 construction workers die a year only in the Qatar market. It is threatening that construction supervisor is the #9 most dangerous job in the world. And also, it does not make sense that with this giant market, almost the 98% of the megaprojects in the world finish their tasks overbudget and overtime nowadays. To help construction projects, their designing and planification are increasing the adoption of the BIM methodology. The Building Information Modeling is revolutionizing the construction sector and it is planned to be used in the 98% of the megaprojects in the next 5 years. So CHECKTOBUILD is born based in two fundamental pillars: These necessities that we have explained and the big opportunity that BIM represents. CHECKTOBUILD is a construtech startup that provides an autonomous inspection service and business intelligence for big construction projects. We do it integrating BIM models, that the construction companies must develop, with IoT and drone`s sytems by a software platform. In four simple steps, CHECKTOBUILD workflow is: - You upload the BIM model to the software platform. - Drones take photos of the construction execution step by step and send them to the platform. - The software platform creates an equivalent and real model to BIM with the drone’s photos and it compares them. - You receive a complete documentation, business intelligence and alerts about the progress of the construction and the supervision results. We are focused in reducing wasted material, increasing inspection cost/time saving, reducing accidents in inspection services, provoking early error detection and creating a useful amount of real time data and new business intelligence. It is time to help the construction sector to grow in the terms of its importance in this 21st century market. We know the way and we can contribute to it.
