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
["Planning Engine (unified platform with four integrated modules)","MeltCode - AI-driven building code research and compliance tool","Melt Takeoff - Automated quantity takeoffs from 2D/3D plans","Code System - Guides compliance for designers and inspectors","Cost System - Risk-based takeoffs and bid leveling","Schedule System - Construction timeline optimization","Value System - Trade-off analysis and decision optimization"]
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.
