TradePlane: field-execution software for GCs & MEPF Contractors — QR-scan verified installs before walls close.
TradePlane turns every QR scan in the field into a verified record of what actually got built.
Most job sites lose the record of what was installed the moment the wall closes up. Paperwork says what was supposed to go in — not what a foreman actually put there, or where. TradePlane fixes that at the source: a foreman or trade contractor scans a physical QR sticker at the device, and it pulls up that exact spot on the drawing (not just the sheet, the spot). From there, capturing the serial number, model, a photo, and a code check takes seconds — done before the wall or ceiling covers it up for good.
That single scan does double duty. The daily report is done before the crew leaves the site. The as-built — the document owners need at handoff and never actually get — assembles itself from the same data, instead of being reconstructed from memory weeks later.
Who it's for: small and mid-size MEP subcontractors (electrical, mechanical, plumbing) who are tired of chasing paperwork after the fact, and general contractors and construction managers who want a real record of installed work without forcing their subs onto a heavyweight BIM platform. No BIM model required, no app download, no password — just a QR code and a phone camera. Pricing is flat per project, and it deploys on a single job, not a company-wide rollout.
Why it matters: a verified installed-asset record settles rework disputes before they start, speeds up retainage release at closeout (which is often the whole project's profit margin sitting there gated on paperwork), and ends the ritual of sending someone back to a finished building to find a serial number hidden behind drywall.

MeltBid by MeltPlan is an AI bid leveling agent built for general contractors in preconstruction. The traditional bid leveling process takes estimators hours of manual work — cross-referencing PDFs, building spreadsheets by hand, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. MeltBid compresses that down to minutes.
Darwin is a BIM-aware construction cost estimation platform that turns estimating logic into reusable, versioned modules. It separates quantities, cost logic, and market prices to keep estimates auditable, adaptable, and fast to update.
Construction.live is an AI powered platform that helps construction teams streamline workflows, centralize project data, and improve visibility across project execution.
