About
We build close to real jobsites -- the voxel model, the decision authority chain, the field-inspection loop all came out of watching where coordination actually breaks, not a market survey.
The name
We give a project one spatial truth.
Ectropy is the antonym of entropy. Entropy is the physical tendency of every system toward disorder -- a construction project is a live demonstration of it: information decays, coordination breaks, waste accumulates. Ectropy is the counter-force, and we make every answer trace to a schema anyone can read.
Enterprise Excellence. Schema-First. No Shortcuts.
Founders
Erik Luhtala
Founder & CEO
A decade at USG's Ceilings Plus building the parametric software behind complex architectural ceiling installations -- including Hyatt Headquarters and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport -- recognized with a CISCA Construction Excellence Gold Award and BuiltWorlds' 2024 Adoption Leader award. Holds a US patent (9,322,165) on adjustable acoustic panel systems from an earlier venture. Now the sole inventor on the current patent portfolio and developer of the Ectropy kernel.
Aaron Anderson
Co-founder & CFO
Director of Innovation at Swinerton, a 100%-employee-owned national construction firm, since 2018 -- connecting design to business process through automation and standardization, and building the technology behind Swinerton's Perq parking structures. A frequent speaker and panelist on construction technology, with appearances at Precon World, Advancing Construction Technology, and Advancing Computational Building Design.
Where Ectropy is today
The decision and authority layer -- who can decide what, and the record it leaves -- is built and deployed. The spatial container that resolves a model, a decision, a document, and a payment onto the same place is in active development, section by section.
