Top startups construction industry
One of the most dynamic sectors today is the construction industry. Businesses related to construction and architecture are on the rise, especially with new technologies.
The construction industry is facing what can probably be described as the most significant “technological boom” since the industrial revolution, and it’s happening now.
Cutting-edge technology is bringing new construction startups in 2025 that break traditional schemes with fresh ideas. Today, we look at the most promising startups set to become leaders in the construction sector revolution, works, and architecture.
1.- CSD Group
The construction startup CSD Group is revolutionizing the on-site construction sector with a combination of mixed reality (MR – Hybrid environment that merges interactive virtual objects with the physical environment), the BIM environment, and the famous QR codes.
Construction workers or the technical management only need to scan a strategically placed QR code on the construction site to view the installations and other BIM elements in 3D at a 1:1 scale. What do you think!
We talk in more detail about this new technology in the article on mixed reality trends for construction.
2.- Swapp
Another successful construction business is the innovative architecture company Swapp, which has surprised the community with artificial intelligence software capable of automatically generating all the plans of a complete building and 3D views from a simple Revit scheme.
The goal of this new CAD software is to automate the heavy work of design, modeling, and repetitive documentation when working with “predictable” buildings. Ventures for architects that will save us a lot of time in the offices.
3.- Plaved Tech
This new Spanish startup Plaved Tech has built solid software aimed at helping architects, engineers, supervisors, etc., to be much more efficient and effective with a remote visual control tool to conduct site visits remotely.
This startup related to construction and works has a visual assistant to control projects and works without leaving the office! Project tracking, plans, 3D models, questions, and much more to accelerate workflows in the architecture sector.
4.- Arqlite
This construction business produces artificial gravel entirely from recycled plastics, three times lighter and ten times more insulating than conventional gravel. Company location in Argentina.
Taking advantage of the benefits of plastic polymers. The company produces a new type of artificial stone with the idea of ending the plastic problem, involving significant cost savings and a lower environmental impact.
new material… artificial gravel from recycled plastics
A new artificial gravel that has tangible advantages:
- The new material weighs 66% less than typical gravel, generating lighter concretes with lower transportation costs and, of course, a significant reduction in the weight of the structure.
- Its greater thermal and acoustic insulation results in better construction quality and greater energy conversion. 10 times better as an insulator.
- Size control has benefits for improving concrete or drainage optimization.
- Perfect for environmental certifications like LEED.
- With a mineral aggregate, the absorption capacity must be calculated. This material does not absorb water, reducing environmental impact and simplifying processes.
- The low thermal conductivity of plastic reduces its reaction to extreme temperature variations.
- Its high molecular resistance synthesized generates a material highly resistant to wear from acids, alkalis, and solvents.
5.- Rebartek
This innovative construction startup focuses on automating the prefabrication of rebar cages and meshes with industrial robots. Company location in Norway.
6.- PlanRadar
SaaS solution for documentation and communication in construction and real estate projects. Company located in Austria.
An application available on iOS and Android devices, as well as on major browsers for workflow optimization and cost reduction by up to 70%.
- Simple ticket issuance. Tickets are created with mobile devices directly on-site. Attaching photos, text, and voice messages.
- Direct communication. Assign a ticket directly to the responsible person, who will receive an automatic message.
- Plan digitalization. It is possible to navigate the plan without delays. This way, you always get the overall view.
7.- 360 Smart Connect
Smart traceability to increase efficiency in construction processes. Company located in France. Now the concrete is connected!
With the technology patented by the company, construction companies have a reliable traceability system to collect a wide range of information on demand; from quality control documents to operational information to correctly organize prefabricated pieces on-site in the factory, as well as administrative and billing data.
Our connected concrete guarantees the technical and commercial traceability of the most used material in construction
8.- BuildStream
Another successful business is BuildStream. Real-time management of heavy equipment and logistics in complex construction projects and their supply chains. Company located in the USA.
Telematics data management system focused on a unique platform designed for developers and contractors using a combination of owned and combined equipment in projects.
Construction machinery is reaching new heights in automation by incorporating the latest in remote working technology.
9.- BldBox
Predictive analytics platform that leverages historical project data and produces accurate estimates for new construction and development projects. Company located in the USA.
Every construction project begins with a planning phase. Developers need to determine the feasibility of a project, and this requires analyzing all possible options. The Bldbox tool helps the developer estimate the construction cost at each stage on-site.
tool to compare and improve costs of architectural projects
The impact of construction cost is hard to overestimate. Different designs can generate different revenues and have different construction costs. It is difficult to predict which design has a higher return for investors and project owners unless the construction cost can be estimated individually.
The company has developed an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that builds a predictive model capable of estimating the construction cost of any architecture project instantly.
10.- Matrak
Construction material tracking network that digitizes the supply chain on-site. Company located in Australia.
The software allows each company, on a project, to track and share information in real-time at each stage; manufacturing, shipping, installation, and defects.
- Improve visibility. It is a central hub that allows teams and companies to work together easily and share key information.
- Stay organized. Manage work effectively by keeping track of materials, equipment, and progress.
- Increase efficiency. A connected work environment leads to greater efficiency, saving you time and ultimately money.
11.- Morta
