Course of construction
Protect the project from rough-in to handover.
69.6% of water events on active construction sites are confirmed leaks, three times the rate of occupied buildings. Eddy installs at temporary risers during fit-out and the same hardware, monitoring center and Leak Incident Reports carry forward into operations on day one of occupancy.
Trusted across the platform
Backed by an active monitoring program, not a marketing deck.
Active devices, prevented damage and claims-affecting coverage, audited every year against the loss runs.

Protect the project with Eddy
Shut off water remotely
Automatic shutoff on the main feed plus zone-level isolation during fit-out. The monitoring center stays with Eddy from temporary risers through commissioning.
Reduce insurance costs
Builder's risk programs reward documented mitigation. Eddy's evidence chain transitions cleanly into the operating-building program at substantial completion.
Prevent leaks and water damage
69.6% of water events on active sites are confirmed leaks. Sensors at fixtures, risers and mechanical rooms surface them in minutes, not hours.
Avoid rework
A single after-hours event can wipe out weeks of finishes. Supported response keeps drywall dry and projects on the agreed handover date.
Simple, powerful leak protection
Tier 01
Building protection
A base system with remote shut off valves, building network and sensors throughout the property.
Tier 02
Unit protection
Additional smart sensors within the suite placed next to at risk fixtures & appliances.

Risk profile
Risk concentrates after hours.
Active job sites sit empty most hours. The largest losses happen overnight, on weekends and during holidays, when the trades have left and nobody is on site to respond.
Eddy's monitoring center is staffed 24/7 from the moment the first sensor goes live. Operators verify every alert and confirm the shutoff per the project runbook.
Builder's risk credibility
Two named projects, two real numbers.
Builder's risk programs reward documented mitigation. Here is what that documentation looked like for two projects on the monitored network.

Detect fast, act fast
Every minute changes the bill.
A leak gets bigger the longer it runs. Eddy detects in seconds and the monitoring center escalates within minutes, so the same failure is contained around minute two. Unmonitored, an after-hours leak runs six to eight hours before anyone arrives.

The leak starts at minute zero. Eddy contains it around minute two. Unmonitored, the same leak runs six to eight hours before staff arrive, and that red stretch is the avoided claim.

Coverage map for Construction
01 Detect: Build the detection layer into the building itself.
The best time to place a sensor behind a wall is before the wall closes. Eddy goes in during construction to install the same operational-grade detection your building will run on for the next decade: sensors at common areas and mechanical rooms, concealed sensors at risers and HVAC sources you'll never be able to retrofit this easily again, plus construction-specific coverage at active high-risk zones, ambient climate monitoring during temperature and humidity swings, and optional fire main flow monitoring for unintended sprinkler discharge.
Point-of-leak
- COMMON & MECHANICAL: Mech rooms, lobbies, elevator pits
- RISERS: Placed before walls close
- HVAC + FAN COILS: Concealed HVAC sources
- HIGH-RISK ZONES: Construction-active areas (Advanced tier +)
- CLIMATE: Humidity & temperature anomalies
Flow-based
- DOMESTIC MAIN: Building usage from Day 1
- SITE WATER: Temporary construction water (Eddy IQ)
- H&C MAKE-UP: Closed-loop heating/cooling
- FIRE MAIN FLOW: Unintended sprinkler discharge detection (meter only, no valve)
02 Control: Stop the cascade before the crew gets the call.
Automatic shutoff on the lines most likely to fail during construction: domestic main, temporary water supply, hydronic make-up. Schedule mode closes the valve when the trades leave and opens it when work resumes. A daily after-hours guardrail aimed at the 2 AM peak when most leaks happen and the site is empty.
- MAIN SHUTOFF: Domestic main
- SITE WATER: Temporary construction water
- H&C MAKE-UP: Heating/cooling closed-loop
- ZONE VALVES: Domestic zones (Unlimited tier)
- SCHEDULE MODE: Automatic after-hours close
03 Respond: Day 1 of the project, Day 1 of the service.
Eddy's monitoring center is on the line from the first valve install. Every alert is confirmed by a trained operator and coordinated live with the superintendent, not left on voicemail. When the building reaches occupancy, the service continues with the same team. No handoff to figure out, no system to redeploy.
- AUTOMATION: Per-zone, per-time-of-day rules
- LIVE OPERATORS: Trained humans on every event
- HANDOFF TO OCCUPANCY: Service continues, no rebuild
