MeltPlan | Planning Engine for the Built Environment

MeltPlan is building the “planning engine” for the $14 Tn construction industry, an AI system designed specifically to optimize decisions before construction begins. While design software optimizes use and aesthetics and construction software optimizes execution and control, MeltPlan is building the missing layer - software that optimizes decisions and tradeoffs upstream, before scope is locked, procurement begins, and change orders become inevitable. MeltPlan’s long-term goal is to help teams make construction “boring” by making planning more intense: surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, aligning stakeholders before plans are frozen, and reducing the need for late-stage redlines, rework, and change orders.

MeltPlan is founded by operators who have built at scale. Kanav previously co-founded Innovaccer, a $3Bn healthtech company focused on making US healthcare more affordable and accessible. He’s now applying that systems-level thinking to construction.He’s joined by Tanmaya Kala, former Project Executive at DPR Construction, who led large commercial, healthcare, and life sciences projects. We combine deep tech scale with real construction execution.

What This Role Really Is

This is a hands-on Quantity Surveyor role focused on accurate takeoffs. AI will guide you, but you have to review and make it final. 

We need someone who is detail-oriented, reliable, and experienced in measuring quantities from drawings. The role is execution-focused: producing clear, accurate quantity takeoffs that the team can depend on.

No fluff. Just solid commercial fundamentals done well.

What You’ll Do

• Perform quantity takeoffs from drawings and specifications

• Prepare and review BOQs

• Verify quantities across architectural, structural, and MEP drawings

• Flag inconsistencies or missing information in plans

• Work with internal teams to ensure quantities are complete and accurate

• Maintain organized documentation of measurements and assumptions

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor
• Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings
• Experience preparing detailed quantity takeoffs
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines

Why MeltPlan

• Massive industry, real-world impact
• High ownership from day one
• Small team, zero bureaucracy
• Competitive comp + meaningful equity
