Our story

From trailer to code editor — and back.

Marcus Wright spent seven years as a project manager on commercial construction sites across Central Texas — office mid-rises, multifamily, mixed-use ground-up — before starting BuildVyne in Austin in 2022. The trigger was a $180,000 schedule overrun on a 14-story mixed-use project off Lamar Boulevard: caused entirely by an RFI that sat in a paper tray on the PM's desk for 72 hours while the foreman's structural drawing question went unanswered and a concrete crew sat idle on Level 6.

"There was no excuse for it. The architect could have answered that RFI on his phone in five minutes. The PM would have forwarded it immediately if the foreman had submitted it digitally instead of walking it over on paper. That project ran three weeks late and cost the owner real money — all because of a piece of paper and a 72-hour information lag that had a known solution."

Marcus recruited Elena Vasquez, an engineering lead with a background in offline-capable field systems, and Derek Okafor, a UX researcher who had spent time embedded with field crews on industrial inspection projects. The three of them spent six months on Austin job sites before writing the first line of product code. BuildVyne shipped its first project in March 2023. The core architecture hasn't changed much since then: fast mobile capture from the field, real-time sync, clean and legally defensible documentation.

BuildVyne focuses on field-to-office communication: RFIs, daily logs, punchlist. We don't do estimating or bidding, we don't replace BIM or document management platforms like Procore, and we don't do CPM scheduling. We do the part of construction management that happens on the job site, in real time, on a phone.
