Promise Robotics, an AI company turning off-the-shelf industrial robots into autonomous production systems for home construction, announced its plans to expand deployment of its production lines at a new 60,000-square-foot existing warehouse located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To begin operation in the summer of 2025, the facility will be able to produce up to 1,000,000 square feet of housing annually. The expansion represents the latest advancements in automation and robotics in the homebuilding industry, harnessing Promise Robotics’ AI brain and robotic tooling to address housing shortages in Canada and the United States.
Promise Robotics is transforming how homes are built in a traditional industry that hasn’t seen disruptive innovation for decades and is experiencing a massive lag in productivity at a time when we need to produce more homes to meet the demand. Built by builders for builders, the company is enabling the homebuilding industry with its “Homebuilding Factory-as-a-Service (FaaS)” platform to boost production capacity and deliver homes faster with significantly fewer resources.
The new state-of-the-art robotic system in Calgary builds on the success of Promise Robotics’ Factory-as-a-Service facility in Edmonton and is creating more opportunities for the industry to build homes faster and more efficiently. Through automation and robotics, home builders can integrate fragmented processes and transform their blueprints into production-ready designs with AI-powered robots that produce homes from single-family to multi-story apartments. Along with making the process more efficient, homes are built locally – using local materials, localized supply chains, and local labour- to ensure communities are supported at the point of construction, including the added benefit of solving for the skilled labour shortages across North America.
Promise Robotics’ production systems can be rapidly deployed at an existing warehouse or temporary structure offsite or onsite to provide builders with a one-stop production solution from blueprint to assembly. On top of rapid deployment, Promise Robotics’ proprietary solution can be easily redeployed to support rapid home production and fluctuating demand, maximizing housing supply across developing communities no matter the type of build. Promise Robotics manages the entire automation lifecycle within factories as a service, freeing customers to focus on homebuilding and growing the business — something that hasn’t been available before. With this announcement comes Promise Robotics’ continued investment in Alberta.

The new Calgary facility will officially start production in Summer 2025.
