Adam Freeman, a 2006 Construction Management graduate of Cal Poly, frequently ran up against construction-industry resistance to innovation while building high-end residential homes in the San Francisco Bay area.

Along with long-time friend Philippe Gauthier, Freeman founded 383 Studio in 2010 to help bring the building sector into the 21st century. The firm’s first major project is Threshold, a cloud-based construction management utility that streamlines photo uploading, organizing, and sharing.

Threshold is still in beta testing, but is open and free to join. You can take the software for a spin by joining at the project’s homepage.
