CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MSUITE proudly announces completing a $4 million seed funding round led by growth venture capital firms Next Level Ventures and Stanley Ventures, and a strategic investment from AEC technology firm, U.S. CAD. The new capital will help scale all company areas and accelerate innovation of its cloud-based platform already trusted by many ENR Top 600 Specialty Contractors firms.
As MEP and Modular firms look for ways to come out of the economic downturn, many are adopting disruptive technologies with the potential to provide the efficiency, productivity, and safety breakthroughs the industry has sought for decades. MSUITE's SaaS platform revolutionizes how disparate teams in design, fabrication, and jobsite construction collaborate to increase productivity and reduce construction costs. MSUITE features a cloud-based solution that connects the BIM-to-FABRICATION-to-FIELD CONSTRUCTION workflows with an easy-to-use, scalable, and industry-focused software which provides automatic real-time status updates, and valuable tracking and estimating information.
"Unlocking the door of communication between BIM, Fab, and Field teams has been a significant challenge for Contractors, which led to the founding of MSUITE in 2015 (previously called FabPro), said Britton Langdon, President at MSUITE. "Through our new partnership with our Investors, MSUITE is well-positioned to continue triple-digit growth and enhance our technology to meet the demands of MEP Contractors and Modular Builders worldwide."
CONSTRUCTION TECH BRINGS SIGNIFICANT BOOST IN PRODUCTIVITY

Having a second-to-none fabrication team work seamlessly with the Detailers and onsite construction crews makes MSUITE's innovative technology unique and remarkable," said David Conley, Director of Manufacturing at Lee Company.
"Post Covid-19, MEP Construction firms are pushing the envelope to increase productivity, reduce costs, and increase communications.
