Evolve Builders Group

A tech enabled future is purported to hold out a lot of promise for this industry. Evolve is among these voices and among the emerging forces bringing massive change to a staid sector. Yet in the here and now, there are precious few examples outside of the lab, beyond theory, and put to actual practice.

One of those who have quietly been applying manufacturing techniques to construction practices is Evan Bare of Canada's own The Bunkie Co. Together with Evolve, we are combining forces to apply the techniques of their unique, precise fabricated backyard/back40 buildings and merging that with our own expertise to fashion a line of 's and micro-homes to market. Keep watch here for the prototypes ready later this summer!!!

Another of Evolve's partners, is thinking and acting even bigger...project sizes that is! Rapidly produced, affordably made, robotically framed detached homes and lowrise and will be flying out of our microfactories sooner than you might have imagined. More on this later (interest whetted?!)

With this context, it was tremendously exciting to join Evan to view a ready-to-move-in project conceived, innovated and constructed by developer Horizon Legacy. Using self-developed robotic 3D printing technology, wildly ambitious founder Nhung Nguyen's team fabricated the structural walls on-site for this multi-rental unit project. The result is something visually akin to a cross between and , honestly leaving the printed form visible throughout much of the interior and exterior of each unit. And my climate concerns about the cementitious material were defrayed when learning that their aim is to first reduce the portland binder and subsequently to replace it with clay, or biogenic binders. But first, they must - and have - demonstrated the basic technology before they can learn to improve it. Heard.

Thank you Claire Belerique for organizing and taking the time to demonstrate what the future...err, present...can look like, if we just try.
