Construction Veteran of 30 Years Protects Property Owners: AI Construction Cost Diagnosis Service "HORIZON SHIELD" Launched

The HORIZONs Corporation (Location: GH Shonan 2, 1-1-47 Higashimatsudo, Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Toshikatsu Oga) has launched "HORIZON SHIELD," an AI-powered service that diagnoses the appropriateness of construction and renovation costs.

Background of Service Provision

"Information asymmetry" between contractors and property owners can lead to differences of hundreds of thousands to millions of yen for the same construction work. HORIZON SHIELD aims to resolve this disparity. Estimates for home renovations and store remodels often use specialized terminology and "lump sum" descriptions that are difficult for general property owners to understand, making it easy for discrepancies from appropriate prices to occur.

Representative Director Toshikatsu Oga has been involved in the construction industry for 30 years as a carpenter, site manager, and construction manager. Through this experience, he keenly felt the significant disparity between "informed contractors" and "uninformed property owners." This service was launched to eliminate this information asymmetry.

Features of HORIZON SHIELD

By simply uploading a photo of the estimate, AI, trained with 30 years of construction expertise, instantly analyzes it. It presents the potential amount that can be reduced and items that need confirmation.

Comment from Representative Director Toshikatsu Oga

"For 30 years, I've been on construction sites. I've noticed something while looking at hundreds of estimates. Property owners lose out not because contractors are bad, but because there's an information asymmetry. The outcome of negotiations is completely different between those who know and those who don't. This service was created to eliminate that disparity. From a single estimate, it stands as the property owner's advocate."
