Brickeye

Brickeye, formerly known as AOMS Technologies, operates as a specialized provider of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms for the construction industry. The company was founded in 2013 by Hamid Alemohammad, Amir Azhari, Richard Liang, and Anthony N Fernando. Initially, the firm, then AOMS, focused on delivering fiber optic sensing technology to the oil and gas sector. A significant downturn in oil prices prompted a strategic pivot towards the construction market, a move that proved crucial for its subsequent growth.

The company's business model is centered on providing a subscription-based, end-to-end job site monitoring platform. This platform integrates ruggedized IoT sensors and devices, reliable on-site connectivity, and cloud-based software with advanced analytics. Brickeye serves a client base that includes general contractors, property owners, developers, and insurance providers. Revenue is generated through subscriptions to its services, which aim to reduce risk, enhance productivity, and protect profit margins on major construction projects globally.

Brickeye's platform offers specific solutions to mitigate critical construction risks. Key product offerings include water mitigation, concrete monitoring, and environmental risk management. The water mitigation service uses leak detection and flow sensors to provide real-time alerts and automated responses, such as activating shut-off valves, to prevent costly water damage. Its concrete monitoring solution, LumiCon®, provides real-time data on concrete temperature and strength, allowing for better quality control and productivity. For environmental risks, the platform monitors factors like noise levels, temperature, humidity, and air quality. A notable offering is the BuildersRiskIQ™ dashboard, which leverages IoT data to help clients de-risk projects and potentially lower their insurance premiums. In September 2021, AOMS Technologies acquired a construction risk forecast platform also named Brickeye, and by January 2022, the entire company rebranded under the Brickeye name to reflect its expanded focus on actionable data and analytics for construction risk management.
