The US has thousands of local building codes that vary by location, and for most builders, that complexity makes scale incredibly difficult. Our Co-Founder and Head of Robotics Felipe Polido joined This Old House Radio Hour for a special collaboration with Marketplace, hosted by Jenn Largesse and David Brancaccio, that asked a simple but urgent question: how do we build homes that can last the next hundred years?

Felipe shares what scalable homebuilding looks like in practice: a production model that standardizes the most repeatable parts of construction while still adapting to local requirements, delivering quality homes faster and more predictably than traditional methods. Reframe's microfactory approach is featured as an example of how new methods and new thinking are reshaping housing in America right now.
