The Opportunity

Problem

Remote workers in construction struggle to scale teams due to unreliable subcontractors and poor remote oversight tools.

Solution

SitePulse enables daily mobile check-ins where subs upload photos/videos of progress, AI verifies completion against checklists, and managers get dashboards for instant oversight. Alerts flag issues like delays or non-compliance remotely. This bridges the gap in remote visibility without constant calls.

Target Audience

Remote managers and coordinators in the construction industry overseeing subcontractor teams

Differentiator

AI computer vision that auto-detects progress (e.g., walls built, materials on site) tailored for construction.
