Construction teams often rely on verbal updates, phone calls, and onsite discussions to manage projects. However, much of this information never reaches project management systems. As a result, companies face delays, missing records, and coordination issues.
Hardline aims to address this problem by capturing voice conversations and converting them into digital records automatically. The platform creates documents such as RFIs, punch lists, change orders, task assignments, and daily logs.
According to co-founder Karly Heffernan, construction managers already know what is happening on projects, but documenting those updates takes significant time.
She said the company wants to reduce the manual work that follows calls and onsite discussions.
Alena Tuttle added that the platform is designed to fit existing workflows instead of changing how field teams communicate. She noted that construction crews already rely heavily on phone conversations, but most project software does not capture that information.
Hardline integrates with commonly used construction software platforms, including, Forma, and Fieldwire. The software currently supports both English and Spanish.
The company operates in a competitive construction technology market. Other companies in the segment include,, and. While these platforms focus on site tracking, operational visibility, and documentation, Hardline is focusing on voice data generated during daily project communication.

Investors said the startup addresses a growing operational issue for contractors and field managers.
Parker Mundt, partner and head of platform at Suffolk Technologies, said important project information often remains trapped in calls and informal discussions instead of entering official record systems.
Michelle McBane, managing director at StandUp Ventures, said the founders are using industry experience to build a product that integrates into existing workflows without adding complexity for users.
Gregg Wallace, general partner at Nirman Ventures, added that administrative workloads for field managers continue to increase as companies reduce back-office staffing. He said tools that reduce manual reporting requirements are becoming more relevant across the construction sector.
Hardline said it is already operating across 10 US states and two countries. Its customers include commercial contractors, residential builders, and specialty trade companies.
The startup was also selected for the 2025 BOOST Accelerator operated by Suffolk Technologies. In addition, it received recognition from BuiltWorlds and the International Builders’ Show.
The company plans to use the new funding to expand product integrations, improve its telephony infrastructure, and increase its presence in the small and mid-sized construction business market.
