Reframe Systems has been named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026, ranking 6th in Urban Development and Real Estate. The list spans 720 companies across 59 categories. In our category, we're ranked alongside the likes of Gensler and JPMorganChase. That's the company we're keeping.

Fast Company's recognition reflects the progress we're making to bring speed, consistency, and scalability to homebuilding. Our CEO and Co-Founder Vikas Enti founded Reframe alongside Co-Founders Aaron Small and Felipe Polido after spending years leading Amazon's deployment of robotics across its global logistics network, and turned that same precision toward a more pressing social problem: the shortage of accessible housing. The results are concrete: homes built 2.5 times faster, at 35% lower cost, and with 10% of the carbon emissions of traditional construction.

We're building a production model for housing with advanced fabrication networks, physical AI and robotics that improve consistency and throughput, and a system designed to reduce cost, timelines, and environmental impact across every home we build. With 60 homes under construction in 2026, including fire rebuilds in Los Angeles, we're proving the model at expanding scale.

Thank you to our team, partners, and collaborators for helping bring this to life. One million homes by 2045. The housing abundance era is here.
