Prove it in the field.
A slide deck cannot tell you whether a foreman will use your product at 6 a.m. in the rain. We can. Pilot your tool, material or method on live GilbertLanham work, or talk to us about licensing technology that makes projects safer, faster or easier to control.
Technology that pays its way.
- I1
A field problem, named
Rework, struck-by risk, late material, slow inspections, schedule data nobody trusts. Tell us which one you fix and how you know it hurts.
- I2
Fits the crew, not the demo
Every extra click or form costs field time. We favor tools that slot into how foremen and superintendents already work.
- I3
A number to beat
Hours saved, rework avoided, days recovered on the critical path. A pilot needs a baseline and a target before it starts.
- I4
Built for job sites
Dust, weather, weak signal and gloved hands. Products should be safe around live work and beyond the bench prototype.
- I5
A route to scale
If the pilot works, we want to roll it out or license it. Tell us what that takes in training, support, data and cost.
From idea to field result.
Five steps, plainly run. If your idea does not fit us, we will tell you why so you can take it where it does.
Use the form below or email our technology team. Describe the problem, your solution and any field data you already have.
VDC, project controls, safety, self-perform or sustainability leads review it, depending on what it touches, and set up a call if it fits.
We agree the project, crew, duration and success measures, along with costs, data handling and any licensing terms.
Our crews use it on real scopes. You hear directly from superintendents and foremen, unfiltered.
We review the numbers and choose a next step: refine and retest, expand to more projects, discuss a license or part ways with clear lessons.
What innovators can expect.
Four commitments we make to every partner, on every job, whether your firm has five people or five hundred.
- Payment
- Terms in writing before you mobilizePilot fees, equipment costs and any licensing terms are agreed in writing before anything reaches a job site.
- Safety
- The same rules for every crewEvery pilot passes a safety review and a task hazard analysis before a crew uses it.
- Communication
- A schedule you can plan aroundA direct line to the field team running the pilot and a written summary of results at the end.
- Growth
- A path to bigger scopesEarly-stage firms can tap the same mentoring we offer trade partners through Rising Trade Partners.
Submit your technology.
Tell us the problem, how you solve it and where the product stands today. Leave confidential details out of this first message. We can cover them under a nondisclosure agreement later.

techlicense@gilbertlanham.comInnovation questions.
Who handles technology licensing?
Our technology team at techlicense@gilbertlanham.com. Send a short description of what you want to license, or what you would like to license from us, and we will set up a call.
Do you pay for pilots?
It depends on the pilot. Costs, equipment and any fees are agreed in writing before anything reaches a job site.
What happens to my intellectual property?
It stays yours. Keep confidential details out of your first submission, and if we move forward we can sign a nondisclosure agreement before going deeper.
Do you work with startups?
Yes, as long as the product is safe around live work. Concept-stage ideas are welcome too, though they usually begin with a conversation rather than a pilot.
Can a trade partner or supplier submit an idea?
Please do. Some of the most useful improvements come from the crews and suppliers already on our sites.
How do I check on a submission?
Email techlicense@gilbertlanham.com with your product name and we will tell you where it stands.
Show us what works better.
Submit your technology or email our technology team about a pilot or license. If it makes a site safer or a schedule more reliable, we want to test it.
