New on Facebook
With robots reducing the physical demands, more types of people can now work in construction. I think this is brilliant. And they have created hundreds of jobs in a new kind of workplace that combines engineers, programmers, machine operators, and the construction trades.
The factory can produce multiple extremely high-quality living units each day. Finished modular units are shipped to the final building site. At the site, they’re assembled into apartments, condos, and hotels in a few weeks’ time. I really think this is a game-changer for affordable housing.
I invited Autovol's CEO to join my Holmes on Homes podcast, and I learned so much from our discussion. Podcast episode launching on all major podcast streaming platforms on September 29, and trust me, it's a good one!
