Foreman (YC W26) — Keeping contractors on the job site, not behind a desk
Foreman is the all-in-one AI-powered project management platform built for construction contractors and the trade industry. Today, contractors run complex businesses on a patchwork of tools that were never designed for construction — estimates in spreadsheets, plans in email, proposals copy-pasted from old Word docs, photos scattered across phones.
Foreman is a Y Combinator company in the Winter 2026 batch. Its directory entry describes it as: Keeping contractors on the job site, not behind a desk. The founder listed is Nolan Rossi (Founder/CEO) (Y Combinator directory entry, January 13, 2026).

Foreman is the all-in-one AI-powered project management platform built for construction contractors and the trade industry.
Today, contractors run complex businesses on a patchwork of tools that were never designed for construction — estimates in spreadsheets, plans in email, proposals copy-pasted from old Word docs, photos scattered across phones. Nothing talks to anything else, and the admin work never stops.
Foreman replaces that patchwork with a single platform that manages the full lifecycle of a construction job, from first estimate to final invoice. Contractors upload plans, photos, or a project description, and Foreman's AI instantly generates structured takeoffs, scoped estimates, and professional proposals — in minutes, not hours. From there, every customer record, document, permit, photo, change order, and conversation lives in one place, organized around the job.
The result: contractors spend less time buried in admin and more time building. They bid faster, manage jobs with less chaos, and close projects cleanly — without duct-taping five tools together to do it.
