Forbes Profiles Reconstruct on 2020 Priorities

Reconstruct, an Illinois Ventures portfolio company, was included in a Forbes article titled “Three Startup Founders Share Their 2020 Priorities.” The article, written by Sasha Banks-Louie, dives into building strong teams of diverse experts, working in emerging technologies, and focusing on customer needs.

Reconstruct uses visual data to improve planning, coordination, and communication on job sites. Their web-based platform continuously reconstructs and visualizes Reality directly within 4D BIM, measures progress and productivity, and analyzes risk for delay. By putting schedule tasks and project performance data in a visual context for the entire team and mapping Reality to Plan, Reconstruct’s platform provides transparency in project execution and helps project teams better plan, coordinate, and communicate.

“We’re able to let customers know instantly if a girder beam should move an inch to the right, which could help better balance load stress, or if a cable tray should move three feet to the left to avoid blocking a fire sprinkler,” noted Reconstruct CEO Zachary MacRunnels.  

The article notes that while these changes may seem unimportant or minor, large-scale construction projects can cost up to $1 million a day so small amounts of downtime can costs customers tens of thousands of dollars.

“We’re not just helping our customers avoid rework, hazards, and project delays, we’re helping them increase the structural integrity of their properties, protect their investments, and build more places for people to live, work, and play,” MacRunnels says.
