About

Reframe Systems Inc. is a technology company focused on revolutionizing the construction industry to address the housing crisis and climate change. Founded by a team with extensive experience from Amazon Robotics, the company is on a mission to make climate-friendly housing a basic human right. Reframe Systems develops and utilizes a modular building system to construct a variety of housing types, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), triple-deckers, and multifamily buildings up to five stories. The core of their innovation lies in the use of volumetric modules—large, fully-finished units manufactured off-site in their proprietary microfactories and then transported and assembled on-site. This approach significantly accelerates construction timelines, reduces costs, and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with traditional building methods. The company's strategy is deeply rooted in leveraging advanced technology, including computational design, robotics, and automation. Reframe Systems operates a network of low-cost, robotic microfactories that are strategically located near demand centers to streamline logistics and reduce transportation emissions. These microfactories are designed to be agile and scalable, enabling mass customization to meet diverse architectural and local requirements. By engineering their platform to meet Passive House energy efficiency standards and maximizing the use of carbon-neutral and carbon-negative materials, Reframe Systems is committed to delivering net-zero homes. Their vertically integrated model encompasses design, engineering, manufacturing, and on-site construction, providing a turnkey solution for developers and communities. The company is backed by notable venture capital firms and is actively working on projects in the Greater Boston area and expanding its operations to other regions.
