We see a future with better buildings for everyone.
Where everyone lives in thoughtfully designed and well-built homes and buildin that are tailored to each person and property. Where Buildings are inspiring, functional, and enhance their environment, not consume its resources. A world where the spaces we inhabit improve our lives.
Conventional home building is broken.
The India is currently suffering a shortage of 10 million homes, and 80% of building projects end up over-budget or delayed. It’s an incredibly fragmented and inefficient building process that requires architects, engineers, consultants, material suppliers, general contractors, and subcontractors (on average, it takes 20 subcontractors to build a home).
And it hasn’t changed in 100 years.
Technology has transformed industries.
Construction is next.
Building with algorithms and production lines.
Almost every object in our lives - cars, furniture, clothing, and electronics - is made efficiently in a factory and is abundantly available. Automation enables quality at high volume and low cost. When you order a car or a laptop, you know what it’s going to cost you before you buy - there are no surprises like the cost overruns that are the norm in construction. Many industries have reduced costs and increased quality through manufacturing and software, but construction hasn’t budged - until now. Arplace is bringing the benefits of mass production to homes. We’re building homes on automotive-like production lines as a fully engineered and integrated product. Unlike cars, every home can’t be the same, so we’re enabling customization at scale driven by our proprietary software and design at the core of our operation.
Reusable rockets, race cars, modern mansions, and Gmail.
Just a few of the things our team built before Arplace.
Building extraordinary products that people love is in our DNA. We brought together a diverse team from architecture, software, automotive, and aerospace backgrounds to build technology that streamlines every step of the building process - from design, to manufacturing and installation.
We built a better way to Construct.
Price and design certainty up front and uncompromising quality.
Our software creates a digital 3D model of each custom building down to the screw. So even though each building has a unique floorplan, we know exactly how to build it every time. That’s how we’re able to give you guaranteed upfront pricing for custom designs.
Then, we manufacture your home in our Mumbai factory using the latest in high-precision quality-controlled manufacturing processes more commonly found in the automotive industry.
Buildings should enhance our environment, not consume its resources.
Arplace do more with less material and energy.
Construction and operation is responsible for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions, or
8 gigatons of CO₂ per year. Population size and energy use per person are also rapidly increasing. By applying innovations in the construction process as well as energy efficiencies built into the home, Covers can reduce energy usage by 75%—that’s 4.5 gigatons of CO₂ saved yearly.
Transforming an industry that hasn’t changed in a century isn’t easy.
But it’s important, and that’s why we’re doing it.
We hope you will join us on our journey to transform the spaces we live in—as clients, team members, investors, and advocates of Arplace. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, are interested in joining us, or even just to say hi!
