Constrik raises €350,000 pre-seed to bring AI to construction bidding

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Constrik Intelligence, a Spanish start-up founded in 2026 by Octavi Uyà, has closed a €350,000 pre-seed round led by Plus Partners. Its software is aimed at the estimating departments of construction companies, the people who work out what a project will cost before the firm agrees to build it for a fixed price. The platform uses AI to audit budgets, pull up information from earlier bids, handle price requests to suppliers, draw up works schedules and spot clashes in project plans. It plugs into the budgeting tools the sector already uses, and the company says client data stays hosted in Spain.

By Constrik's own estimates, a mid-sized builder can prepare dozens of bids a year and win roughly one in eight, so a good share of the effort goes into carefully pricing jobs that end up with someone else. The company also cites figures putting AI use at 11.4% of Spanish construction firms, against 17.5% in industry and 25.7% in services. Uyà, who is also chief executive, says the department still runs on "tools from twenty years ago".

Constrik has finished a pilot with a large Catalan construction group it has not named and has begun rolling out its software at San Martín, a builder with more than a century of history. The money will pay for its first three hires: a salesperson specialised in construction, an implementation engineer and a full-stack developer. It plans to focus on medium and large builders.
