Intro to Boom.Build

Mar 4, 2025

Dear friends and colleagues,

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Boom.Build —an AI-powered construction prequalification tool designed to improve how general contractors and project owners select their trade partners. 

Why did we start Boom.Build? Two of our co-founders, Alex and Matt, worked at construction firms and experienced firsthand how time-consuming and labor-intensive it is to prequalify subcontractors. This process, when done poorly, can have severe consequences—a subcontractor failure can easily increase contract costs by 2-3x and cause significant delays.

We wanted to reimagine a prequalification process that's 10x faster, highly objective, and insightful. Our platform automatically extracts crucial data from contractor documents, verifies credentials, and provides comprehensive risk insights across financials, safety, and compliance.

Here's how it works:

  • Contractors complete a streamlined prequalification form in just 5 minutes.

  • Our AI automatically processes key data from financial statements, work-in-progress reports, OSHA 300A forms, insurance certificates, bondability letters, and more.

  • Boom.Build verifies business status with the Secretary of State and checks for outstanding UCC filings, tax liens, and litigation.

  • Our platform generates comprehensive a prequalification report, empowering you to select the most qualified and reliable trade partners.

The Team: Boom.Build is a privately held software company with team members in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Coming from industry leaders including Clark Construction, Google, Built and Mastercard, we are thrilled to help preconstruction teams radically improve how they vet and select contractors with modern, AI-powered tooling.

To see how Boom can transform prequalification at your business, contact matt@boom.build. It’s easy to use and takes 5 minutes to onboard.

Sincerely,

The Founding Team – Alex Bandes, Lee Alexander, Matthew Faenza, and Matt Tiberii
