How factory-made housing is faring in Massachusetts

Massachusetts needs 222,000 new homes in the next decade. Reframe is proving that housing can be built differently: faster, more predictably, and with a production model designed to scale.

Scott Kirsner visited our triple-decker in Somerville for a segment on WBUR's Morning Edition. The the building's modules were robotically fabricated in our Andover facility, trucked to the site, and assembled in a fraction of the time traditional construction would take. What typically takes 12 to 18 months with conventional methods, we are completing two to three times faster.

Growing recognition shows that factory-built housing is not a niche experiment. It is a serious, scalable response to the housing shortage facing the region.
