AUAR (Automated Architecture)

AUAR (Automated Architecture) is an innovative construction technology company that uses AI-enhanced robotic micro-factories to prefabricate timber housing components. The company operates on a Hardware-as-a-Service model, licensing its robotic micro-factories and AI-powered design-to-manufacturing software stack to existing home builders and developers. Components are fabricated locally in micro-factories using robotics, then delivered and assembled on-site by local craftspeople. The modular timber building blocks can be fully customized based on site characteristics and occupant preferences, with exact costs known upfront. The system achieves significant efficiency gains: 75% labor reduction and 40% cost reduction compared to traditional construction methods. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in London with operations in Bristol, AUAR has raised £2.6M in funding.
