We have been proving the work in buildings since 2017.
ARMS Technologies is a Canadian company building the system of record for what happens in buildings: the work that gets ordered, the work that gets done, and the proof that connects them.
It began inside one building.
Brothers Blair and Kevin Chard founded ARMS after seeing firsthand how difficult it was for building management to know what was actually happening inside a property. What began with concerns around unauthorized access, amenity misuse, security and accountability became the foundation for a much broader building operations platform.
ARMS Technologies is founded.
ARMS runs inside a large Toronto residential property, and adds automated patrol reminders, staff check-ins and real-time alerts.
Automated package management, floor-to-floor presence technology with nothing to tap or scan, and leak monitoring.
ARMS moves into construction-site operations.
The full ARMS platform launches, with workflow automation and governed AI.
The people behind ARMS.
Blair Chard
CEO and co-founder
Blair is the CEO and co-founder of ARMS Technologies, with thousands of hours earned in the trenches meeting property managers, walking buildings, observing frontline operations, and learning where traditional systems break down. His approach to ARMS has been shaped by real-world experience, focusing on practical technology that improves accountability, reduces workload, and helps buildings run better.
Kevin Chard
CTO and co-founder
Kevin is responsible for the technology that lets ARMS prove what actually happens inside a building. He architected the ARMS platform, including its workflow automation, its event correlation, and a passive proof-of-presence system. That system fuses ARMS Sensor signals with radio, barometric and motion data to establish where staff were, floor by floor, with nothing to tap or scan. The platform has verified more than 60,000 patrol rounds across residential, commercial and construction sites. He now leads the architecture of the next generation of ARMS and its governed AI layer, and is the author of research on act-boundary governance for AI agents.
