What changes when it is real estate & construction tech

Part of the mandate is to make ourselves unnecessary. We plan for your full-time hire from the start rather than building dependency.

In real estate & construction tech, transactions are document-heavy and slow, and lead quality varies enormously. That single fact reshapes how fractional cto has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is site progress from imagery, usually integrated against document management. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Can it qualify leads reliably?

Yes, scored on your actual conversion history rather than a generic model, with conversational qualification before a site visit is scheduled.

What about title documents?

Extraction and consistency checking flag discrepancies for legal review. It accelerates review. It does not replace the lawyer's opinion.

How much time do we get?

Typically one to three days a month, scaled to what is happening. Fundraising, a migration or a hiring push warrant more; steady state needs less.

Will you help us hire a permanent CTO?

Yes, and we consider it part of the job. Defining the role, screening and handing over cleanly is the intended end state.

Can you do technical due diligence?

Yes. Both sides. Assessing a target before acquisition, or preparing your own codebase for an investor's review.
