The clients pay for the software on a ‘pay-when-use’ basis.
“The real estate sector in India faces many challenges—delayed projects, unhappy customers, liabilities for builders and problems with approvals. With the Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA) coming in, there is a significant push to regulate the sector and bring in clarity for both buyers and developers and FalconBrick does just that†said Satveer Thakral, CEO of Singapore Angel Network.
FalconBrick is operational in four cities—Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata. Its clients include real estate firms such as Brigade Group, Shriram Properties, VBHC, Kolte Patil, Rohan Builders, Primarc Group and Rustomjee Developers, the firm said.
“The founding team at FalconBrick have hands-on experience in the construction industry. They have a clear understanding of the pain points and have been able to develop a product which solves the problem faced by many builders on the execution and monitoring front,†said Bhatewara of Rohan Builders.
