Photoruction

Photoruction Inc., founded in 2016 originally as CONCORE'S Inc., is a technology firm operating in the construction sector. The company developed "Photoruction," a cloud-based service designed to enhance productivity and quality in the construction industry. This platform has been utilized in over 200,000 construction projects, serving a diverse client base that includes general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty construction companies. Photoruction has secured a total of $13.3 million in funding over three rounds, with its latest Series B funding round in May 2023 raising $12.3 million.

The core of Photoruction's offering is a suite of tools for construction management. This includes features for managing photos and drawings, project and process management, and conducting inspections. The service allows for the automatic organization of photos taken on-site with smartphones or tablets and facilitates the creation of digital blackboards and ledgers. It also supports Building Information Modeling (BIM), enabling users to view 3D models on mobile devices directly at the construction site. By centralizing all project information, from construction codes to addresses, Photoruction aims to streamline on-site operations. The platform is customizable to meet the specific requirements of different clients, allowing it to function as a company's comprehensive production platform.

In addition to its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, Photoruction offers a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) service. This service semi-automates operational processes by allowing users to select and execute various tasks developed for the construction industry directly through the software. This is intended to deliver productivity gains that are difficult to achieve with software alone. The company also began research and development of an AI engine specialized for construction work in 2018. The combination of its cloud platform, BPO services, and AI aims to standardize construction processes, paving the way for a more data-driven approach to production in an industry traditionally characterized by unique, one-off projects.
