Housing Crisis Solved? - Suburban Isolation & Affordability from Built-to-Rent Technology
"A tech-enabled general contractor reduced construction costs by 30% and build times by 25% - not by replacing trades, but by empowering them with better tools."
In today's episode of Bricks and Bytes, we had Salman from Mosaic who shared how they're revolutionizing the built-to-rent housing sector by bringing together software and construction expertise.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ How Mosaic achieves 30% cost reduction compared to traditional commercial GCs
✅ Their approach to "gentle disruption" that works with existing trades rather than replacing them
✅ How they're scaling to 2,000 units under construction with just 60 employees
✅ Why the future of construction might be in data granularity rather than new materials or robotics
Listen to the full conversation on Spotify and learn how Mosaic is addressing the housing crisis by making construction more efficient without reinventing the wheel.
