In an industry where construction delays and cost overruns are all too common, Contineu, founded in 2023 by Harshil N. and Kanao Ramesh, is bringing a fresh approach to quality checks. The Bengaluru-based startup replaces traditional clipboards and spreadsheets with smart helmets equipped with 360° cameras, capturing real-time data from construction sites.

This data is instantly processed using AI to generate 3D models and actionable insights, detecting over 150 types of defects, safety issues, and quality lapses. By automating inspections, Contineu helps builders identify problems three times faster, cut rework costs that often consume half of project profits, and save engineers up to five hours a day.

Already trusted by leading developers in India, Contineu has secured backing from Entrepreneur First, SenseAI Ventures, and Piper Serica Angel Fund. The startup now aims to take its technology global, targeting markets in the Middle East, UK, and US.

By blending AI, 3D visualization, and real-time monitoring, Contineu is transforming construction from a reactive, error-prone process into a smarter, safer, and more efficient operation.
