On April 15, 2026, Built by Builders officially welcomed Riskcast to its coalition of founder-led construction technology companies. The announcement marks a meaningful recognition of what Riskcast has stood for since it was founded in 2018: software built by people who have actually worked in the field.
What Is Built by Builders?
Built by Builders is a collaborative network of construction technology companies united by a single common thread — their founders have firsthand experience working in the construction industry. The network operates on the belief that the best tools for the field are built by people who understand what it actually feels like to work on a jobsite, manage a crew, and be accountable for project costs.
Steve Dell'Orto, Founder of Built by Builders and CEO of ConCntric, put it directly in the announcement: "Founders who have lived the daily realities of the jobsite build tools that actually work for the field. By welcoming Riskcast and Provizual, we are adding deep expertise in self-perform job costing and inspection management to the network. Both teams perfectly embody our mission to drive practical, field-proven innovation across the industry."
Why Riskcast Belongs in This Network
Riskcast co-founders Alec Thomson and Reggie Arichabala are both civil engineers who began their careers working on construction sites. Alec spent years as a field engineer before joining the corporate strategy team at Skanska USA Civil. Reggie transitioned from field work to earn advanced degrees in Computer Science and Technology Management before co-founding the company. That background isn't a marketing footnote — it's the reason Riskcast works the way it does.
Field crews are the people who actually use Riskcast every day. The product captures time, labor, equipment, and production data in one place, connecting what happens on the ground directly to the job cost system in the office. That connection — between field reality and financial visibility — is exactly what gets lost when software is designed by people who have never managed a crew or worried about a cost overrun.
"From the beginning, Reggie and I knew that our experience working directly with field teams was essential to building a tool that workers would actually use and respect," said Alec Thomson, Co-Founder and CEO of Riskcast. "Built by Builders represents exactly what we believe in, which is a shared experience and respect for the workers actually using our software. We are excited to join as a member of Built by Builders to promote value-added solutions for the contractors."
What This Means for Self-Perform Contractors
Joining Built by Builders connects Riskcast with a growing coalition of technology companies that share the same foundational commitment — building tools that hold up in the real conditions of a jobsite, not just in a product demo. For the contractors who use Riskcast to track labor, production, and job cost every day, that alignment matters.
