Construction-tech startups are trying to disrupt a notoriously old-school industry. Here's how 2 founders went from gaming backgrounds to launching in the buzzy space.

a new slew of construction technology — or contech, for short — startups like Fieldwire have emerged that are aiming to make building cheaper, easier, and safer.

Fieldwire raised $33.5 million in funding last September led by Menlo Ventures and others, according to a press release. At the time, it had raised $40.4 million to date. "Running a game team inside a company is very similar to running a company," Frinault said, highlighting the challenge of recruiting the best internal talent and keeping a budget as some of the overlaps.

"We wanted to replicate tools that are available to us in gaming to the construction space," Frinault said. "We were putting a product together that we can deliver directly to them, and that they can work on immediately without any training," Singha said, explaining how the lack of technical literacy in construction made a simple user interface and design extremely important.
