Doxel

Doxel develops AI-powered construction progress tracking technology that helps owners and general contractors gain objective, real-time visibility into what is actually happening on their jobsites. The platform automatically captures construction data and compares it to BIM models and project schedules, replacing manual walkthroughs and self-reported progress with physical observation of installed work at the component level.

Doxel’s system draws on three core inputs: 360-degree video captured weekly using an off-the-shelf camera, the project’s BIM model, and the Primavera P6 CPM schedule. Computer vision compares the scan against the BIM to determine what has been physically installed across all trades and at every stage of construction, while a large language model ties the schedule to the BIM to produce a real-time 4D view of actual versus planned project state. Doxel reports having captured over three billion square feet of construction, a dataset that powers its weighted “rules of credit” models for aggregating component-level data into an accurate project percent complete.

The company serves owners and contractors across sectors including hospitals, data centers, and large-scale infrastructure. Its platform is trusted by industry leaders including Shell, Genentech, HCA Healthcare, Kaiser, Turner, and Layton. According to Doxel, customers deliver projects on average 11% ahead of schedule, with up to 16% savings on monthly cash flow, thanks to earlier detection of schedule and cost risks.

Doxel was founded in 2015 by CEO Saurabh Ladha and is backed by Insight Partners and Andreessen Horowitz. The company has grown into a team of engineers, scientists, construction veterans, and enterprise go-to-market professionals, and has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers, a ranking that evaluates startups on employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth.

Doxel frames its work around a persistent industry problem: construction is one of the world’s largest industries, yet productivity has stagnated for decades. The company cites McKinsey research showing construction productivity grew only 0.4% annually between 2000 and 2022, far behind manufacturing and the broader economy. Doxel’s answer is automated feedback loops—an “Andon cord” for jobsites that flags deviations as soon as they are detectable rather than weeks later when they have compounded.

The company describes its mission as transforming how the world builds, and positions its culture as central to that mission. In its own words from a company announcement, “Our mission has always been to transform how the world builds. That requires not only great technology, but great people.”

Doxel operates with a remote-first culture for most roles and offers employees comprehensive health insurance, a home office stipend, monthly cell phone and internet allowances, flexible PTO, generous company holidays, and unlimited sick days, alongside competitive base salary and equity. The company states that it is an equal opportunity employer and actively seeks diversity.
