Singapore-based startup OnSite has successfully raised S$1.7m in a seed funding round co-led by Tin Men Capital and Alter Global. The funds will be used to enhance their AI-driven communication platform designed for the construction industry, which is valued at S$53b in Singapore alone. The platform aims to address the prevalent issues of fragmented communication and data organisation that lead to costly delays and disputes.
OnSite’s platform allows construction teams to communicate seamlessly across eight languages commonly used in Southeast Asia, creating a legal-grade audit trail. This innovation is particularly significant for small and medium-sized contractors who are disproportionately affected by the current inefficiencies. “The core problem in construction is that documentation and communication are chaotic,” said Poh Yong Han, CEO and Co-Founder of OnSite. “We are building a data management layer that will anchor every message, every photo, every voice note automatically to exactly where and when it happened.”
The funding will accelerate product development, including AI-powered features like a pocket assistant and predictive risk assessments. OnSite is currently in beta testing with partners in Singapore and Hong Kong, with plans to expand later in 2026. The company’s unique approach replaces traditional communication channels with a purpose-built platform, ensuring data is structured from the outset.
Backed by investors with deep sector expertise, OnSite is poised to transform communication in the construction industry, not just in Singapore but across Southeast Asia, where urbanisation and infrastructure investments are driving growth.
