Makes me cry everytime.


This is helpful, thank you.

We create a software platform that's similar to GitHub for construction blueprints, and are leading the industry's transformation to the cloud. We easily save enormous ($1B+) building projects worldwide (hospitals, universities, museums, freeways, stadiums, skyscrapers) hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours each through the construction lifecycle so projects are delivered on time and under budget. Backed by Sequoia and GV.

reminds me of spiders on caffeine: http://www.trinity.edu/jdunn/spiderdrugs.htm


Yep, that exact page is one of the reasons I stopped. I like to joke that I am an insect since caffeine is also a poison for many of them.


One of the happiest 1 hour of my life this week was watching these Swarms documented: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Pr2tIPkuw


Thanks for the comment! To clarify, yes blueprints are large. But just like people were happy to give up the inconvenience of fold-up paper maps for google maps, construction folks are almost universally excited to give the inconvenience of cumbersome paper plans for a tablet and an app.

Interestingly, this question is the exact first question PG asked us during our initial YC interview in 2011.


In Canada, on active construction sites superintendents/engineers are not even allowed to carry cellphones, so how does Plangrid get around that law? I guess it is for office use only, whenever super wants to compare some ISOs.Or do people use it on site/field too?

Blueprints are extremely large. CWPs, EWPs depending upon the job easily run into thousands of pages occupying precious shelf space and searching them is not easy.


Really? I've been on sites many times and have seen supers answer their cell phone. Is this province specific?


I am in AB. Actually it is company specific, generally fab shops do not allow supers to carry cellphones while working on modules.


Thanks for answering! Best of luck to you.

Just curious, who is the "big dog" in this space? AutoCAD Revit?


If I wasn't married to my cofounder, I would have the saddest love life.
