Vice President of Engineering (USA)

Posted 8 days ago

At H2, we believe in augmenting human workers to help construction companies achieve massive productivity and quality improvements—think of it as a "Copilot for Construction." Our goal is to leverage neural network-based legacy AIs, multi-modal AI, transformer-based generative AI, and vast domain data to develop the next generation of human-centric AI solutions. These solutions aim to boost productivity by 10X and ensure construction remains safe for workers and reliable for consumers.

Our flagship product, AISekisan, is a human-AI hybrid solution that automates material takeoffs and project estimation. Material takeoffs and estimates are often a bottleneck in construction projects, but we improve this process by up to 25X while maintaining high accuracy.
