About Reconstruct

Reconstruct is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company providing a visual analytics platform for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Founded in 2016 by Mani Golparvar, Derek Hoiem, and Tim Bretl, the company originated from concepts developed at The Grainger College of Engineering's IDEA Lab. The company is headquartered in Menlo Park, California.

Reconstruct's core offering is its Visual Command Center™, a platform that creates a digital twin of construction sites by processing images and videos from various devices like drones, smartphones, and 360 cameras. It utilizes computer vision and artificial intelligence to overlay this reality capture data onto 2D and 3D design models, creating a 4D (3D + time) visual record of the project. This allows stakeholders, including project managers, owners, and executives, to remotely monitor progress, perform quality control, and identify potential delays by comparing the as-built reality against the original design and schedule. The platform is designed to integrate with industry software from partners like Autodesk and Bluebeam.

The company's business model is based on subscriptions to its platform, serving a range of clients from retail companies like 7-Eleven to large pharmaceutical firms like Pfizer. Reconstruct has raised a total of $27.4 million over several funding rounds. Its Series B round in July 2021, led by The Nemetschek Group, raised $17.3 million and included investors such as EquipmentShare, STO Building Group, and NTT DOCOMO Ventures.
