Co-founder @Builtstream Inc
Kitchener, ON, CA
Builtstream Inc. is transforming how the world understands and manages its buildings. With over 4 billion buildings globally—responsible for more than 40% of CO₂ emissions—accurate, up-to-date digital data is essential for smarter design, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Yet, most building data remains offline, outdated, and inaccessible.Builtstream’s AI-powered SaaS platform automates the creation of as-built digital models, enabling architects, engineers, building owners, and operators to digitize existing structures at scale. Our technology compresses and processes point clouds and imagery into rich, shareable 2D and 3D models with embedded metadata—unlocking new value across design, construction, leasing, energy, and facilities management.From capital planning to carbon reduction, Builtstream empowers the built environment with data-driven intelligence—accelerating decisions, reducing costs, and enabling a more sustainable future.
