60,000 Sq Ft
Factory Size
Launched a large-scale factory capable of producing significant housing volume annually.
- Set out to revolutionize construction with expertise in prefab homebuilding and Autodesk R&D.
- Deploys turnkey Factory‑as‑a‑Service systems that transform blueprints into AI‑sequenced robotic production lines for housing.
- Typical projects include offsite framing for single‑family homes, townhomes, and multi‑story apartments, leveraging local material and labour.
- A key partnership with KUKA Robotics further integrates industrial‑grade robots into scalable home production.
- Manages the full automation lifecycle—from design upload to on‑site assembly—so builders handle only the construct.
- Mission‑driven & Impactful: They have a deep sense of purpose and commitment to making positive societal, environmental, and economic outcomes.
- Creative & Innovative: They are relentless in changing the game, pushing the envelope, and seeking innovative solutions to challenging problems.
- Sharing Success & Developing Together: They thrive when they share their success, develop their greatest potentials, and grow together.
- Humility: They value confidence, openness, curiosity, and will go the extra mile to learn from anyone and anywhere.
