A melting pot for all stakeholders to plan buildings better, together.
Why construction needs a planning engine.
Read complete founder’s manifestoA letter from CEO
Software development is agile, changing while building it is easy. Unlike software, the cost of change is irrationally high in construction. We believe that preconstruction is where the battle for productivity must be won.
The industry has strong tools for design and for construction management. What’s missing is a true system for the decisions made before construction begins…around scope, code, cost, schedule, labor, and tradeoffs. Planning happens today, but it’s fragmented and largely manual.
Construction needs a planning engine. A single system that helps teams reason through these decisions early, together, and with clarity.
That belief led to MeltPlan.
MeltPlan is a melting pot for the built environment – a place where architects, engineers, and contractors come together to plan more effectively. It also reflects what needs to be optimized for every project: Material, Equipment, Labor, and Time (M.E.L.T.).
Our team brings deep experience across software, construction, and AI. We’ve built a $3B software company, delivered multi-billion-dollar construction projects on schedule, and developed globally top-ranked AI models.
We’re building the planning engine for construction spanning code, cost, scheduling, labor, and value, so teams can make the right decisions before anything gets built.

Principles we live by
As we build software and AI for construction, a few principles guide every decision we make.
Accuracy
Getting it right matters.
We continuously measure, test, and improve the accuracy of everything we build — because small errors can have big consequences.
Reliability
Trust is earned.
Every insight our system produces is backed by verifiable evidence and clear citations, so teams can rely on it with confidence.
Usability
If it's not useful, it doesn't belong.
Every feature is designed to save time and help teams get real work done faster.
Flexibility
No two teams work the same way.
Our products are built to fit into existing workflows and integrate seamlessly with the tools you already use.
Intuitiveness
Adoption shouldn't be hard.
Our software is designed to be easy to understand and quick to use. With minimal training — even for teams juggling multiple projects.
