Projects plagued by rework and unnecessary costs have become the standard. We know, because as a former construction manager and designer we dealt with the issues firsthand. We’re here to put an end to it. That’s why we started Flashpoint.
Every year the construction industry spends more than $19 billion on rework which represents roughly 50,000 more homes that could have been built that unfortunately ended up in landfills. More often than not, the root cause of rework are simple mistakes made in the layout process because of paper plan sets.
What this means for everyone involved is lower margins, less projects completed, and a chaotic experience. For consumers, fewer homes means skyrocketing prices.
After spending years designing and managing millions of square feet worth of construction across the Mountain West, we got fed up with the way things have always been done. We as an industry have to do better and that’s why we started Flashpoint Building Systems.
With Flashpoint, our Integrated Layout System (ILS) and laser engraving process etches your critical building information like your architectural, structural, and M.E.P. directly onto the subfloor so your entire team is on the same page with no room for error. It’s like having blueprints at your feet.
If you’re a forward-thinking, innovative homebuilder, commercial contractor, or lumber distributor specializing in wood-frame construction typology that wants to transform the construction industry and eliminate rework, we want to partner with you.

In 2021, Shea Homes, one of the nation’s top 25 production builders, came to Boise. Like most builders, they were dealing with the typical issues facing the construction industry, a limited workforce and a breakdown in communication between contractors and customers caused by the manual building information layout process.
In construction, the most important task is communicating a clear understanding of the project scope. But the traditional means of doing so relies on paper plan sets. Contractors end up only focusing on their respective scopes of work and that tunnel vision delays the resolution of obvious coordination conflicts. This is compounded by the fact that plan misinterpretation is common.
The result is a reactive and expensive way of doing business.
