Summary

Phil Ogilby is the CEO of STACK Construction Technologies. In 1984, Phil started his first construction contracting company in Dayton, OH doing residential and later commercial work. He witnessed firsthand the challenges of managing people, equipment, materials, and especially an ever-changing bid schedule. In 1995, Phil's 14-year-old son, Justin Ogilby, wrote the code for Buildware Pro estimating software, making it easy to measure plans using a digitizer or measure on screen using a computer mouse. After a few years, Phil developed Private Construction Office, an online portal where general contractors could share plans and specs with their contractors using the internet.
