OUR IMPACT

Our approach delivers an average cost of under $300K per unit (costs exclude land, servicing, softcosts) showcasing that robots can be integrated affordably while meeting and exceeding the Ontario Building Code.

With 26 rental units, including 30% affordable, we surpass industry standards.

Our project achieves a 20% reduction in energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions, and our all-electric buildings ensure zero greenhouse gas energy consumption.

By creating wall assemblies with R-30 thermal performance and consolidating three trades into one, we effectively address the labor shortage, demonstrating the transformative potential of robotics in construction.

OUR TEAM

We are dreamers, adventurers, and problem solvers—ordinary people coming together to address an extraordinary challenge. As "insiders" in the real estate and construction industry, we know that technology alone won't fix the problems. It’s people who will drive the solutions.
