They’re Not Building Skyscrapers — They’re Rebuilding How Skyscrapers Get Built Imagine construction sites where no one needs to take notes, snap photos, or file endless reports. Instead,
Imagine construction sites where no one needs to take notes, snap photos, or file endless reports. Instead, AI watches everything — spotting mistakes, flagging violations, and generating reports before anyone even asks. Sounds like sci-fi? A small Bengaluru startup just made it real.
Meet Contineu, a deeptech company that just raised $1.2 million to do what construction giants haven’t dared to try: fully automate site monitoring and quality checks with artificial intelligence.
Contineu is shaking up an industry that still runs on clipboards, Excel sheets, and gut instinct. Their game-changing tool? Helmet-mounted 360-degree cameras paired with AI-powered computer vision that watches every corner of a site — and never blinks.
Workers just wear the helmet. The system does the rest.
You don’t need an engineering degree to see how powerful that could be.
Let’s break down why Contineu’s approach could completely upend how construction sites are managed:
While most teams are still waiting on inspection reports, Contineu’s AI is already scanning footage, flagging quality issues, and highlighting compliance gaps.
With 360-degree video coverage, every action on-site is documented. Nothing is missed — whether it’s a safety slip-up or a structural flaw.
Project managers no longer need to chase down teams for updates or walk the site with a clipboard. Everything is tracked, logged, and analyzed automatically.
Contineu’s vision just got a big vote of confidence from investors.
Their $1.2 million seed round was led by SenseAI Ventures, known for backing bleeding-edge AI-first startups. Also on board is the Piper Serica Angel Fund, betting that construction’s next great leap forward will come from automation.
Contineu was founded by Harshil Naik and Kanao Ramesh, who saw how chaotic, error-prone, and outdated site monitoring really was. Their idea wasn’t to slap sensors on machines — it was to build a data infrastructure that could turn raw footage into real-time decisions.
Their system is like giving every construction site a second brain — one that sees everything and forgets nothing.
Here’s a dirty little secret about construction: Even billion-dollar projects rely on pen, paper, and photos from someone’s phone. There’s almost no standardization in how quality checks are done — and that leads to massive delays, skyrocketing costs, and even safety disasters.
Contineu wants to fix that by:
With this new funding, Contineu is gearing up to:
If they succeed, they won’t just be another startup — they’ll be the reason your next building project finishes on time and under budget.
Contineu’s rise signals something big: The era of manual site monitoring is coming to an end. AI is not just a nice-to-have anymore — it’s a must-have.
And if Contineu gets it right, your hard hat won’t just protect you. It’ll report your progress, flag your mistakes, and maybe even get you home earlier.
