IoT sensors and real-time dashboards for construction site risk monitoring
Brickeye operates a hardware-software platform for construction risk mitigation, combining MQTT-connected edge devices with Python/React dashboards deployed across complex job sites. The tight engineering-to-ops ratio and active projects around firmware stability and sensor integration signal a hardware-first company maturing its field deployment capabilities—a harder operational problem than pure software.
Brickeye builds IoT platforms for construction owners, developers, contractors, and insurers to reduce on-site risk and improve productivity. The product combines instrumented sensors (concrete monitoring, water detection, environmental conditions) with real-time alerting and dashboards to surface risks before they become costly losses. Founded in 2014, the company operates from Toronto with a small, senior-heavy team and is actively hiring engineers and operations roles across Canada and the United States.
Python, FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL, and MQTT for the platform core, plus SolidWorks and Fusion 360 for hardware design, and GitHub Copilot and Claude for development acceleration.
Current projects include scalable IoT edge devices, real-time dashboards, multi-year battery life improvements, diverse sensor integration, and deployment of the risk mitigation platform on complex construction projects.
