Architectural Design

EazyCA is a simple time [cost] saving solution provider for construction administration (CA). We have automated the CA process to reduce the time required to process a single submittal significantly. It currently takes a person approximately thirty (30) minutes on average to complete the full cycle from start to finish when all the actual time worked is combined [the process usual span over several days/weeks]. When EazyCA is used to Manage, Log and Report on this process, the time is significantly reduced [to about 3-5 minutes per submittal].

Construction Administration

Instead of predicting the future, we look to our founders to convince us of what’s next. That’s why we don’t focus on any one sector. The one thing each of our companies has in common — we met them when they were just a couple of people with an idea and a slide deck.

Site Programming

Building from nothing to this scale requires a founder that can go from telling you a compelling story about her market at 50,000 feet to asking whether a radio component in the hardware should be moved 3 microns to the right. If you ask me what kind of founders I gravitate to, they’re the ones who can run up and down the stack like this. You often see this quality in the best CEOs.

Who are the CEOs that gravitate to me as a partner? The ones who know and appreciate that I’m very direct. I’ll always tell you what I think. When you pitch me your idea, I’ll challenge your assumptions. When you leave a meeting, you’ll know exactly where you stand. My happiest moments in this job have always come at the end of meetings when we’ve had a conversation that really moved the needle for a company.

As a VC, it’s easy to think the biggest impact you can have is writing a check. But the best parts aren’t about the money (I know you’ve probably heard this before — but I really mean it). It’s the service you can offer. One of the big reasons I think First Round is so unique is that our partnership is really a partnership — we’re not a loosely-joined group of lone wolves. We share responsibility and decision-making, and it’s always for the benefit of founders. If a great opportunity comes my way but I’m not the one to help build it, I’ll pass it to the best person on our team. And my partners do the same.. That’s a win for the entrepreneur. And I think it’s why we’re so good at seed stage in particular.

Before First Round, I was Omidyar Network’s first venture investor and eventually led all of their technology investing. I worked at Palm, where I product managed Palm OS during the company’s heyday (that’s right, when the Palm V was cool), and started its corporate venture fund. Prior to all of that, I got my MBA from Columbia and BA from Berkeley (Go Bears!).

Cost Estimating

Construction contractors usually prepare bids or tenders to compete for a contract award for a project. To prepare the bid, first a cost estimate is prepared to determine the costs and then establish the price(s).

This involves reviewing the project's plans and specifications to produce a take off or quantity survey, which is a listing of all the materials and items of work required for a construction project by the construction documents. Together with prices for these components, the measured quantities are the basis for calculation of the direct cost. Indirect costs and profit are added to arrive at a total amount.[

Land Surveying Field Work

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. A land surveying professional is called a land surveyor. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish maps and boundaries for ownership, locations, such as building corners or the surface location of subsurface features, or other purposes required by government or civil law, such as property sales.

Surveyors work with elements of geometry, trigonometry, regression analysis, physics, engineering, metrology, programming languages, and the law. They use equipment, such as total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, retroreflectors, 3D scanners, radios, handheld tablets, digital levels, subsurface locators, drones, GIS, and surveying software.

Surveying has been an element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history. The planning and execution of most forms of construction require it. It is also used in transport, communications, mapping, and the definition of legal boundaries for land ownership. It is an important tool for research in many other scientific disciplines.
