The Floorcloud® Team

Our team is made up of construction industry veterans with deep commercial experience in product manufacturing, installation, training, marketing, sales and distribution.

We know the game.

All too often we have seen situations that could have had far different results if real-time or historical data had been available when it was needed most.

A balanced spectrum of experience.

We strive to save the construction industry hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary expenses by identifying potential issues as they occur in real-time. Our solution helps clients easily share information with key project stakeholders and better record, organize and retrieve key project information when they need it most.
