Foreman

Foreman is an early-stage technology company based in an undisclosed location that develops an artificial intelligence-powered project management platform specifically designed for residential contractors. The enterprise software consolidates the entire construction job lifecycle into a single centralized application, utilizing artificial intelligence to automatically generate structured takeoffs, scoped estimates, and professional proposals from uploaded architectural project plans. Backed by Y Combinator as part of its Winter 2026 accelerator batch, the platform replaces fragmented administrative workflows previously reliant on legacy applications like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Operating with a core team of two employees, the system centralizes all customer records, municipal permits, financial change orders, and project photographs to reduce daily administrative overhead for residential builders. Formerly operating under the corporate name Scout Out, the active real estate and construction technology startup was founded by undisclosed founders.
