During the frustrating process of building their own homes, former Navy SEALs Garrett Moore and Kyle Tompane came to the conclusion that there was room for improvement and innovation for the processes in the residential construction industry. Moore says it was apparent that technology would likely be a key tool to help solve many of the issues and pain points in the industry.
After traveling the world and observing how other countries build, Moore and Tompane developed their core theses about the construction industry: it is on an “existential decline.” With construction labor in short supply and the overall housing industry underbuilt by approximately 5.5 million units, Moore says housing is not just a short-term issue. Due to limited labor, Moore and Tompane concluded industrialized automation is the future of construction and the potential solution to current industry shortcomings.
