MeltPlan is an innovative pre-construction AI platform. MeltPlan secured $10 million in a seed funding round. Bessemer Venture Partners led the funding round. Other investors included noa. With the new capital injection, the startup’s total capital investment has reached an incredible $14 million.

According to the press release by the startup, the primary objective of these funds is to develop an advanced engine of planning that would specifically cater to the construction industry. The startup aims at stepping up the development of its products in various key areas such as building codes, cost management, time management, and value decision systems.

Leadership and focus

In 2025, Kanav Hasija and Tanmaya Kala co-founded MeltPlan. MeltPlan is devoted to the building of artificial intelligence based on construction that has profound knowledge of the intricate building codes, various materials, sequencing, procurement approaches, and a broad range of construction techniques.

The technical capability of the system is already visible, as the system has already been reported to have scored 95% or above in building inspector exams. Following this achievement, the company is currently concerned with the development of its expertise in all the trades and fields of expertise that are engaged in the complex construction planning process. This is the level of specialized intelligence that is meant to bridge a big gap in the present technological outlook of the industry.

Identifying the missing layer and strategic partnership

Although the market provides design software that is designed to maximize the aesthetic and use aspect, and construction software that could be designed to maximize construction and control, MeltPlan sees a gap. The firm is developing software that is used to optimize the decisions and trade-offs at the upstream, which is the stage prior to locking the scope of the project and commencing procurement.

At this initial point, MeltPlan is hoping to make the change orders unavoidable in the project lifecycle later. Their Planning Engine is intended to comprise four interconnected systems: a code system with context-sensitive compliance pathways to be used by architects and engineers; a cost system; a schedule system; and a value system that provides impact analysis and optimization advice to owners and developers.

MeltPlan aims at ensuring that the construction process is made boring by creating more serious planning and surfacing constraints and trade-offs early in the timeline. The platform minimizes the use of late-stage redlines, rework of plans at high costs, and disruptive change orders by aligning stakeholders before the plans are finalized.

MeltPlan is already implementing its technology in practice by partnering with major enterprise contractors. They comprise the DPR Construction in California and the Innovo Group of the UAE. The partnerships highlight the internationalization of the MeltPlan platform because it facilitates the planning and pre-construction stages of large international projects.

Conclusion

Having the support of Bessemer Venture Partners, MeltPlan, with a clear focus on the pre-construction stage, is set to change the way buildings are planned and implemented. With the high-performing AI operating to manage codes, costs, and scheduling, the company provides a solution that will be guaranteed to maximize efficiency and minimize uncertainty in an industry that has always been unpredictable in history.

As MeltPlan continues to build its four combined systems and its collaborations with major contractors, it is poised to become a tool that architects, engineers, and developers cannot do without for streamlining their projects, even before the first brick is ever laid.
