Our take
The US construction industry is worth over $850B, but it’s plagued by a worsening shortstaffing issue that’s leading to spiralling costs, and a real chance of decreased on-site safety. This is something that Trunk Tools is looking to address.
Trunk Tools is revolutionizing construction documentation with an AI-powered platform that automates the organization of unstructured project files. It processes documents like PDFs, spreadsheets, and blueprints. Which also allows teams to spot any potential project issues and surface insights.
With a growing customer base and substantial funding, Trunk Tools is really making a name for itself. Recent capital acquired will help it further expand its team and platform and put it in a position to lead the construction software market.
