These Robots Will Keep Construction Projects On Time And On Budget

A new startup could hold the key to keeping construction projects on time and on budget.

Doxel launched on Jan. 23 with a promise to use artificial intelligence and robots to keep a close watch on construction sites.

The startup could be a boon to the construction industry, considering an estimated 98% of large projects are delivered over budget and roughly 20 months late. Doxel just closed a $4.5M funding round led by Andreesen Horowitz, according to Venture Beat.

This game-changing end-to-end solution produces accurate progress and quality reports in real-time. That’s how Doxel keeps molehills from becoming mountains,” Doxel CEO Saurabh Ladha said in a blog statement.
