Original: D.R. Horton tests Promise Robotics factory model for 1,250 homes
Homebuilder D.R. Horton is testing a factory-built construction model from robotics startup Promise Robotics, a pilot covering 1,250 homes. The deal signals growing interest in automated, factory-based homebuilding as builders look to cut labor costs and speed up construction amid housing shortages and skilled-trade shortages across the United States.
Why now: Major US homebuilders embracing robotic factory construction points to a potential shift in how mass-market housing gets built.
