How AI-powered tools are clearing up construction’s data debris

Tech in Asia profiled Tin Men Capital portfolio company OnSite in a premium feature examining how AI startups are tackling the construction industry's data problem. The piece explored how site teams across Southeast Asia still rely on WhatsApp groups, voice messages, and paper records to manage billion-dollar projects, creating what the article called "a slew of digital detritus distributed across multiple platforms and devices."

OnSite co-founder and CEO Poh Yong Han told Tech in Asia: "If I'm drilling something with one hand, I'm not going to... take off my gloves. What I will do is send a voice message." The company's AI-powered platform supports eight languages used on worksites across the region and has raised S$1.7 million in a seed round co-led by Tin Men Capital and Alter Global.
