Hard Hats Meet Hard Tech: How Contineu is Rewiring Construction With AI

The construction site is finally getting a brain, and it's powered by AI.

Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Contineu has just secured $1.2 million in seed funding, led by SenseAI Ventures with support from Piper Serica Angel Fund. But this isn’t just another startup milestone. It signals a seismic shift in how construction sites might operate in the near future.

Founded by Harshil Naik and Kanao Ramesh, Contineu is building a vertical AI stack designed for the unique complexities of construction. Their solution? Helmet-mounted 360° cameras paired with proprietary 3D computer vision models that turn real-time site visuals into structured, actionable data automatically.

Think quality checks, compliance reports, and progress updates all happening live, without the clipboard or chaos.

“Construction remains one of the last frontiers for digitization,” says SenseAI’s Rahul Agarwalla. “Contineu isn’t just bringing tech to the table. They’re building the table.”

The funding will accelerate Contineu’s platform development, expand its engineering teams, and power enterprise-scale deployments. The founders are clear about their vision: to build the default data layer for construction globally.

This isn't about replacing people. It is about empowering site managers, engineers, and contractors with intelligent tools that finally match the scale and complexity of their work.

Contineu is not just laying bricks. They are laying the digital foundation for the future of construction.
