Robotics begin building sustainable homes

CNBC Clean Start features our Somerville site, where Diana Olick explores how we're bringing world-class automation into housing to address both affordability and climate crises. The segment captures our Series A funding and expansion into California, where we're focused on delivering climate-resilient homes to families impacted by the LA fires.

When we founded Reframe, the vision was clear: apply the automation principles that transformed other industries to an industry that has resisted change for centuries. Our $20 million Series A enables us to scale that vision geographically. California represents both an urgent need and a strategic opportunity. The wildfire recovery effort in LA requires speed, resilience, and precision. Our climate-resilient homes are designed to withstand ember exposure and built to meet strict fire-safety codes. At the same time, California faces a housing shortage that predates the fires. We're positioned to address both.

The Somerville site shows what's possible when factory efficiency meets on-site assembly. Our approach delivers homes faster and more affordably than traditional construction while reducing carbon emissions by 10x.
