Roughin/About
About us

Built by people who've worked construction

Roughin started because we got tired of flipping through 50-page PDFs on a job site looking for one detail.

The problem

Plans are made for desks, not muddy jobsites

Tradespeople lose hours every week searching plans — pinching and zooming through a 100-page set on a phone screen the size of a hand, hunting for the one sheet that matters.

Blueprints were drawn to be spread out on a table. On site, that table doesn’t exist.

The realization

Every other construction app is built for the office

Procore is for project managers. Bluebeam is for designers. None of them are built for the trade actually building it — the electrician on the ladder, the framer in the rain.

The bet

Mobile-first, AI-native, glove-friendly

So we built the opposite: designed for one-handed thumb reach, readable in the sun, fast enough to answer a question before you’ve climbed down. AI reads the plans so you don’t have to flip through them.

Where we are

Building in public

Roughin is in private beta now, with a full launch coming on Google Play and the App Store. We’re building in the open and listening to the trades who use it every day.
