Welcome to Automated Architecture

The building blocks of a better future

We’re building a global, automated construction ecosystem for sustainable, affordable and beautiful homes at scale.

The challenge

Making sustainable and affordable housing universally accessible

Skyrocketing costs, a rapidly shrinking workforce and a highly fragmented value chain make it difficult for the construction industry to deliver sustainable, beautiful and affordable homes at scale.

Large, modular factories are failing: they are expensive and unable to provide the cost savings they promise.

AUAR
What we do

Enabling the construction industry to build together, powered by robots and artificial intelligence.

What We Do

We offer a flexible, No CapEx ‘hardware-as-a-service’ model for our pop-up Micro-Factories so our partners can quickly get set up without large capital expenses.

We remote-support partners with our AI-powered software all the way from design to manufacturing, automating thousands of hours of inefficient, manual processes in the home building process. Using AUAR Micro-Factories, our partners can produce 1 timber home in less than 12 hours, resulting in a £2.5m ROI opportunity per year per Micro-Factory.

What We Do
Key Features
  • Flexible, No CapEx contracts
  • Pop-up, Plug & Play Micro-factories
  • AI-Powered Design-to-Manufacturing Software
  • High Quality & Low Cost Timber Frame Building Systems
  • Learnings From Across the AUAR Ecosystem
How it works

Automate your homebuilding with AUAR

We automate home-building with our cost-effective and high-quality Timber-Frame Panel Systems, adapted to your local supply chain, regulations and business goals.

We generate, productise & optimise home designs using our AI-powered software platform that are 100% tailored to your requirements, enabling instant cost estimations and as many design variations as you need.

Our pop-up Robotic Micro-Factory manufactures the core & shell of a single home in less than 12 hours, and has a yearly capacity of up to 180 homes per year.

Our partners

We partner with visionary homebuilders, developers
& manufacturers in Europe and North America.

“From a client’s perspective we see huge potential for innovative building concepts that can reduce cost, timing and the carbon footprint. We need systemic changes in the way we produce our build environment to be able to provide affordability with a low environmental footprint.”

Nicolas Bearelle,
CEO at Revive

Partner with us

We keep our tech as accessible as possible through ‘Hardware as a Service’ and ‘Design 
as a Service’ pricing models, tailored for each of our partners.
