Pillar is building an environmental management platform designed to minimize worker exposure and prevent damages that affects general contractor's bottom lines. We believe by implementing connected sensors in buildings under construction, we can drastically change the way buildings are built and maintained. This is the first step in a vision to create fully integrated intelligent buildings that bridge the gap between human occupancy and their environments.
