Bobyard develops proprietary computer-vision technology that interprets construction blueprints and automates up to 70% of the quantity and material takeoff process, the most time-consuming step in pre-construction. Contractors using the platform report an average 65% reduction in takeoff times and the ability to submit three to five times more bids per estimator, directly boosting win rates and margins. Starting with the complex landscaping trade, Bobyard has become the preferred tool for leading U.S. commercial contractors, with one customer attributing roughly $350,000 in new work to the software. Founded in 2023 by Stanford-trained engineer and mathematician Michael Ding, the San Francisco-based team includes computer-vision engineers from institutions such as Stanford, Princeton, Berkeley, and Virginia Tech. The company plans to deepen its landscaping capabilities while expanding into drywall, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and framing. New capital will also fund growth in engineering and go-to-market teams. Although the article does not disclose revenue figures, Bobyard’s adoption metrics illustrate early traction in a vast construction technology market.
