Circa's Waste-Less Vision Reads Job-Site Video and Drafts Disposal Estimates

Boston demolition startup Circa built Waste-Less Vision with AI: customers submit photos or video of a space, the system identifies materials and prepares a preliminary estimate of disposal costs and labor hours for human review. A 15-minute basement video that once had to be watched fully now becomes a line item automatically.
