Mosaic
Tech-enabled general contractor for build-to-rent housing
A hybrid construction-and-software company that self-performs general contracting for large-scale (50+ home) build-to-rent residential communities, using its proprietary "Mosaic Hub" platform to digitize construction plans and automate subcontractor contracting, scheduling, and payment. It is not a software product licensed to outside firms as of this research date — Mosaic uses the platform internally to run its own construction operations.
Why This Tool Exists
Build-to-rent developers building large residential communities (50+ homes) rely on fragmented, manual coordination across hundreds of subcontractor trade partners for contracting, scheduling, and payment — a process that is slow to scale across markets, hard to standardize, and leaves subcontractors waiting weeks to be paid for completed work, which drives trade-partner churn.
Mosaic acts as the general contractor itself rather than selling software: it digitizes standard construction plans, decomposes each project into granular trackable tasks, and uses its "Mosaic Hub" platform to schedule and dispatch trade partners and trigger payment shortly after verified task completion (stated goal: within 24 hours). The company describes construction coordination as "an information problem, not a physics problem" and standardizes its process (not the housing product itself) so it can repeat execution across markets in Arizona and Texas.
