Sunil Dorairajan’s Wyre uses machine learning to scan drawings and specifications, produce bid-ready scope packages and run clash checks; the company closed a $5 million pre-seed/seed round led by Ironspring Ventures.
Wyre converts drawings and specs into structured, traceable scope packages for preconstruction teams, aiming to replace manual document review.
Wyre offers two primary products: Wyre Scopes for automated scope extraction and Wyre Check for clash and document checking.
Wyre is being piloted by about a dozen contractors and emphasizes subject-matter expert validation and proprietary model training as its IP layer.
September 10, 2026 When Sunil Dorairajan sold Pype to Autodesk in 2020, the entrepreneur still had more ideas about how an artificial intelligence-powered platform could assist in preconstruction and beyond. Wyre is an AI-powered document intelligence platform that scans drawings and specifications and turns them into structured scopes, risk insights and traceable references for contactors, On Sept. "I spent a decade in preconstruction and operations before I ever built software for it," Dorairajan said.
That isn't a staffing problem—it's a technology problem." Dorairajan said Pype proved construction documents could be made machine-readable. "With Wyre, we're going further—turning them into scopes teams can bid on and risks they can act on before a project ever breaks ground," he said. Using AI in Preconstruction On Demand Through practical examples and case studies, attendees will gain insight into the potential for AI to improve accuracy and efficiency while reducing project risk.
