Promise Robotics, Mattamy Partner to Scale Up Prefab Homebuilding

Promise Robotics and Mattamy Homes are partnering to scale up two master-planned communities in Alberta comprising prefabricated homes.,

The robotics firm’s technologies will support Mattamy as it delivers single-family, semi-detached and multi-family residences. The partnership is designed to show how integrating advanced robotics and AI directly into Mattamy’s homes can deliver units at lower costs and enhance scalable, high-quality construction amid ongoing housing and labour shortages.

“Promise Robotics has developed an industrial backbone to retool and enable homebuilders and manufacturers across many communities,” said Ramtin Attar, CEO and co-founder of Promise.

The prefabricated structures will be built in the robotics firm’s new 60,000-square-foot Calgary manufacturing facility, which will serve as a flagship hub for next-generation homebuilding and provide a scalable model that can be replicated in U.S. markets, said Promise.

The facility is also designed to be a production hub for new Calgary communities while also offering local builders access to advanced homebuilding capabilities that enable them to scale faster without having to invest in costly automation or manufacturing expertise.
