Congratulations to Suffolk Technologies BOOST 6 alum Hardline on their pre-seed round! Hardline is transforming how construction teams capture and document critical project information by turning phone calls, site walks, and verbal decisions into structured, actionable project documentation through its VoiceOps platform. “One of the consistent challenges we see in the field is that the most important project information doesn’t always make it into systems of record. It lives in calls, conversations, and quick decisions on-site. We believe the voice layer of the jobsite is one of the last untapped, proprietary data sets in construction,” says Parker Mundt, Partner and Head of Platform at Suffolk Technologies. Hardline addresses this challenge by capturing verbal project data directly from the field and automatically converting it into daily logs, RFIs, punch lists, change orders, and task assignments, without adding friction for field teams. By embedding directly into existing field communication workflows, Hardline helps ensure critical project information is captured in real time instead of being lost across calls, texts, and jobsite conversations. Through our BOOST Accelerator, the Hardline team connected with our network of Operating Partners to pressure-test their solution in real environments. We’re proud to partner with Alena Tuttle, Karly Heffernan, and the entire Hardline team as they help bring AI-powered operational intelligence to the jobsite. 🔗 Read more in the link in comments.

“What if every HVAC technician had instant access to every service manual, every warranty agreement, every troubleshooting guide, and the detailed failure patterns of thousands of real-world HVAC systems?” envisions Jonson Berman. Thalo Labs makes that possible. Suffolk Technologies is excited to announce our investment in Thalo Labs, an AI-powered platform bringing real-time diagnostics and service intelligence directly to HVAC technicians in the field. By combining proprietary hardware, physics-based AI models, and generative AI service support, Thalo gives HVAC contractors continuous equipment-level intelligence that helps technicians detect issues earlier, reduce unnecessary truck rolls, improve install quality, and resolve problems faster. Suffolk Construction is also putting Thalo’s technology to the test at our headquarters as we continue exploring how AI-enabled building operations can drive smarter, more proactive asset performance across the built environment. We believe Thalo Labs is building a new intelligence layer for HVAC service, and we’re proud to partner with Brendan and the entire Thalo team as they help transform the future of building operations. Congratulations to the Brendan Hermalyn and the entire Thalo Labs team! 🔗 Read more about the investment and partnership in the link in comments.

Dig Energy joined the Suffolk Technologies BOOST program to accelerate development of its next-generation geothermal drilling technology, designed to reduce drilling costs for geothermal heating and cooling by up to 80%. It’s exactly the kind of innovation we’re continuing to look for as we bring on our next cohort. “Being part of BOOST has been incredible,” says Dulcie Madden, Co-Founder & CEO of Dig Energy, Inc. “It was this amazing opportunity to integrate ourselves into the network & contextual issues that happen around the built environment. We’ve learned so much and built connections that will serve us for many years to come.” BOOST helped the company connect with key stakeholders across the built environment, learn from industry leaders running large-scale geothermal projects, and gain valuable insights into project delivery, contracting, risk, and commercialization. As the industry searches for scalable solutions to the energy and climate challenges facing our buildings, companies like Dig Energy are pushing what’s possible. 🚀 Applications for BOOST 7 are now open through June 5.

Supply chain risk is one of the biggest drivers of delays in construction today, yet most teams are still managing it manually. Kaya AI is changing that by connecting procurement, scheduling, and vendor coordination into a single AI-driven system. After joining Suffolk Technologies’ BOOST accelerator in 2023, Kaya partnered directly with Suffolk’s operating teams to understand procurement workflows in the field and validate their solution on active jobsites. That collaboration quickly scaled from one pilot to the deployment of Kaya’s technology across 10+ Suffolk projects, helping teams: ✅ Build procurement logs in hours, not weeks ✅ Eliminate manual tracking and reduce errors ✅ Gain real-time visibility into supply chain risk Kaya is shifting project teams from reactive tracking to proactive coordination. 🔗 Read the full case study linked in the comments 🚀 Do you have the next great idea for the built environment? Applications are now open for our BOOST 7 cohort. Apply by June 5. Ojonimi Bako, Nicholas Selz, Shae Persico, Parker Mundt, Mack Rush, Andrew Woodward, Will Craemer, Mario Colon Reyes
