Modulous, a London, UK-based construction-technology startup, announced that it raised £10 million ($11.5m) in Series A funding.
Investors in the round include Patrizia-backed Sustainable Future Ventures (SFV), Regal London, CEMEX Ventures, Blackhorn Ventures, GroundBreak Ventures, Goldacre, and Leela Capital.
The fund will use to further develop its physical and digital technologies for asset-light that enable developers, architects, and contractors to build net-zero modular homes without a factory.
“Building energy-efficient, affordable housing without the waste and carbon footprint that accompanies traditional construction has never been more critical,” said Modulous CEO Chris Bone. “Modular delivery is really the only way the housing crisis can be resolved, but, for many, the upfront capital investment has held back the industry’s ability to scale."
The Modulous technology platform aims to solve major pain points across the three core areas of the home building process: architecture and design, construction, and development.
