Value proposition
Automates preconstruction planning with transparent, construction-native AI that shows its work—reducing planning errors, cost overruns, and downstream rework while enabling teams to simulate outcomes before committing resources; reduces estimation time from weeks to days.
Products and solutions
Melt Bid - AI bid scoping, tabulation & leveling of sub proposals, Melt Review - AI construction document review / design change & risk surfacing, Melt Takeoff - AI-assisted quantity takeoffs verified by onshore estimators, Melt Code - AI building code research, decisions & compliance, Melt Schedule - construction timeline / sequencing (FAQ product line), Planning Engine - unified AI-first precon platform (concept-to-GMP)
Unique value
MeltPlan is building a construction-native AI system that understands building codes, materials, sequencing, procurement, and construction methods—rather than adapting generic AI tools for construction. The system achieves 95%+ accuracy on building inspector exams and provides transparent, explainable AI with cited code answers. It coordinates across owners, architects, GCs, trades, and inspectors on a single source of truth.
Target customer
Enterprise contractors, general contractors, architects, property owners, specialty trades, and developers involved in commercial, healthcare, and life sciences construction projects
Industries served
Commercial Construction, Healthcare Construction, Life Sciences Construction, Architecture & Design, General Contracting, Real Estate Development, Construction Technology, Preconstruction Services
Technology advantage
Combines construction-aware AI trained on codebooks, specifications, drawings, and real project data with four integrated systems (code, cost, schedule, value) into a unified planning engine. Enables scenario simulation, risk assessment, and decision alignment before construction begins. Provides instant building code answers across all state and local jurisdictions with verifiable sources and transparent reasoning.
How they differentiate
Only AI-native platform combining construction-aware AI that understands building codes, materials, and sequencing with integrated planning engine for code compliance, cost estimation, scheduling, and decision trade-offs in preconstruction. Achieves 95%+ accuracy on building inspector exams with transparent, explainable AI that shows its reasoning.
