Strukshur

The construction industry is at the cloverleaf of technology disruption. The appeal of construction and design technology innovations lies in their promise to enable contractors to build faster and smarter. That being said, modern contractors and designers are often juggling several systems, such as spreadsheets, Dropbox, Google Docs, emails, and shared documents in different online cloud storage apps, as they do not have a centralized location to manage all their tasks and projects. This is where Strukshur makes a difference with its world-class, affordable project management software tailored for the construction industry. The Strukshur Platform is a revolutionary online design and project management system that helps both contractors and homeowners ace their remodeling, construction, and home improvement game. With a unique combination of inspiration, design, and technology, the platform not only saves contractors and designers time but also seamlessly streamlines the entire construction process. “Strukshur is the best platform in the world that allows construction professionals and homeowners to connect and manage projects, details, specs, plans, finishes—all in one place,” says Lou Vierra, CEO of Strukshur.

The Strukshur Platform combines scheduling, information management, and schedule of finishes while ensuring the availability of project information across the entire design and construction team.Strukshur’s software comes with a built-in direct messaging platform and an agile task management system. The platform also tracks all purchases made for a client’s project. Users can store project pictures, videos, and pins from anywhere, be it phone, computer, or any other machine.

The company can automatically track and store all project finishes that are going to be installed on the project. “We efficiently address scheduling and information management challenges of our clients, streamline the entire project management process, and make it completely cloud managed. Besides, we are the only project management platform that is fully integrated with Pinterest,” comments Vierra. Designers and architects can directly access their Pinterest boards, save them room by room, and schedule finishes so that builders can accurately build using them.

What’s more, the platform’s robust, second to none file management system allows contractors and homeowners to store extremely large files, which they can upload and download very quickly. The platform also supports an estimate system, whereby subcontractors and contractors can collaborate on an estimate together as a team. Additionally, the platform includes a 3D floor plan modeler, which allows homeowners to remodel their floor plan before engaging with a contractor.

To illustrate the capabilities of Strukshur, Vierra describes an interesting situation while working with a top California-based designer. The Strukshur team, along with the designer and their clients, were out shopping for plumbing fixtures and appliances. They started using the Strukshur platform to schedule finishes right during shopping instead of making notes on paper, returning to the office, and using two different applications to compile them into a spreadsheet. At the end of the meeting, the Strukshur team immediately converted all of it into a spreadsheet to show the clients all of the scheduled finishes. The designer was highly impressed with the platform and decided to discontinue using other applications.

Backed by a team of excellent builders, Strukshur constantly builds and tests its features with project managers and foremen in the field. Steering ahead, Strukshur is creating an artificial intelligence-based mood board that will help homeowners gather finishes in their existing home by using their phone’s camera on the Strukshur application. Homeowners can cut out furniture, fill in the background, place new products that are for sale on Strukshur to visualize them in their rooms. Besides, the company is working on an affordable housing solution that will be sold as a Strukshur-branded affordable unit and will be available within the next 24 months. “Everything we do is based on positive energy. This creates a happy culture and results in increased efficiency,” notes Vierra.
