Locusview provides a Digital Construction Management (DCM) platform for utility companies. It automates data capture, streamlining project close-out through integrated planning, execution, and completion. Ensuring data accuracy across systems, it simplifies field mapping for crews, enabling high-quality data, compliance, and improved operational efficiency.
Founded in 2014, Locusview emerged from collaboration with the American Energy Technology Institute (GTI) and R&D. Co-founders Shahar Levi (CEO) and Alicia Farag (President) initially addressed material traceability and automated as-builting via barcode and GPS, an insight evolving into their comprehensive DCM solution.
Locusview serves natural gas and electric utilities, field crews, and contractors. Its mission is to provide an enterprise-scale DCM solution, empowering operators to scale capital projects. This occurs by automating real-time, high-precision field data, enhancing visibility, accelerating close-out, and bridging design to record systems.

Locusview is a technology company providing a Digital Construction Management (DCM) platform tailored for energy and gas utilities, automating data capture during construction projects and streamlining close-out processes up to 70% faster.[1][3][4] The platform digitizes paper-based job packets, enables real-time field data collection via mobile apps for high-fidelity asset documentation, and integrates with systems like GIS, WMS, and EAM to ensure regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and accurate asset capitalization.[2][3][5][6][7] It serves over 30 leading U.S. Tier-1 investor-owned utilities (e.g., Duke Energy, National Grid, Exelon), more than 180 contractors, and 4,000 daily field crews across the US, India, Europe, and Latin America, managing $15 billion in capital projects in 2022 alone.[3][4][5][7]
Locusview was founded in 2014 through a collaboration with GTI Energy (formerly the Gas Technology Institute) and industry-funded R&D to address material traceability in utility construction, starting with barcode scanning and GPS for automated as-builting.[3][4][5] Key leaders include Shahar Levi (CEO), Alicia Farag (President), and Michael Levi (CTO), bringing expertise in technology, utilities, and operations.[3] What began as a focused initiative evolved into a comprehensive DCM platform covering the full construction lifecycle from planning to close-out, gaining traction with major utilities and setting industry standards.[4][5]
Locusview rides the digital transformation wave in utility infrastructure, where aging grids demand faster, compliant construction amid electrification and renewable integration trends.[1][2][4] Its timing aligns with rising regulatory pressures for accurate as-builts and real-time visibility, fueled by market forces like labor shortages, supply chain issues, and $100B+ annual U.S. utility capex.[3][5] By bridging field-to-office gaps with GIS-integrated tools, it influences the ecosystem by standardizing digital workflows, enabling contractors and utilities to accelerate asset capitalization and reduce risks in building resilient energy networks.[4][6]
Locusview is poised for expansion as utilities invest heavily in grid modernization and AI-enhanced analytics, potentially integrating advanced features like predictive maintenance or AR for field ops. Trends like ESG reporting and global energy transitions will amplify demand for its compliant, data-rich platform, evolving its role from construction tool to full lifecycle infrastructure manager. With 170 employees and a foothold in key markets, expect deeper international growth and partnerships, solidifying its lead in digitizing the $1T+ global utility construction sector—transforming paper frustrations into scalable efficiency.[4][5][7]
