Construction technology startup MeltPlan has raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The round also included investment from European venture capital firm Noa.
The company will use the new money to improve its AI-based planning system, which helps teams make better decisions before construction begins. It will also invest in software that helps improve decisions about building rules, costs, timelines, and overall project value.
“Construction problems don’t fail at execution; they fail at planning. Unlike software, you can’t fix a “bug” after a building is constructed. Late-stage changes in this sector are extremely costly,” said Kanav Hasija, cofounder and chief executive of MeltPlan.
“We are building an AI-native planning engine to help stakeholders surface risks upfront and make better decisions before construction begins,” he added.
“We have built tools for compliance and cost. We are now building the scheduling and value systems to complete the planning engine,” said Hasija.
“Built environment workflows are full of irreversible decisions made under uncertainty,” said Pankaj Mitra, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “MeltPlan is approaching preconstruction as a system, not a phase, building a visionary ‘planning engine’ layer that helps teams quantify tradeoffs early and reduce downstream volatility.”
MeltPlan was founded in 2025 by Hasija and Tanmaya Kala. The company creates AI tools that understand building rules, materials, construction processes, purchasing, and different construction methods.
Its platform has four connected systems. The first is a code system that helps builders follow rules and regulations. The second is a cost system that calculates material quantities and helps prepare project bids.
The third is a schedule system that plans construction timelines. The fourth is a value system that studies the overall impact of a project and helps teams make better decisions.
