Promise Robotics today announced a multi-year strategic commercial partnership with the Alberta Division of Mattamy Homes, North America’s largest family-owned homebuilder. This partnership marks a major milestone for Promise Robotics as it moves to scale its technology and partnership across North America.

Promise Robotics’ technology will support Mattamy Homes in delivering single-family, semi-detached and multi-family residences across two master-planned communities in Alberta, Canada. By integrating Promise Robotics’ AI and robotics-powered automation technology with Mattamy’s Alberta operations, the partnership will help establish new milestones in industrialized home delivery with greater capital efficiency. The commercial partnership will showcase how advanced technology can enhance scalable, high-quality construction amid ongoing housing and labour shortages.

Promise Robotics’ Factory-as-a-Service™ platform gives builders like Mattamy Homes’ Alberta Division the ability to adopt “push-button” home manufacturing for faster build times, greater efficiency and reduced costs. Integrating advanced robotics and AI directly into Mattamy’s home products in Alberta shows how automated construction is evolving from niche applications to high-volume homebuilding.

Promise Robotics’ facility is staffed by skilled local workers and supported by local supply chains and breakthrough AI. It will serve as a flagship hub for next-generation homebuilding while providing a scalable model that can be replicated in U.S. markets. The facility will serve as a production hub for new Calgary communities, while also offering local builders access to advanced homebuilding capabilities — allowing them to scale faster without investing in costly automation or specialized manufacturing expertise.

Promise Robotics is pioneering the technology platforms that will enable builders to integrate robotics and AI into construction – lowering barriers to adoption and making automation accessible at scale. Through its partnership with Mattamy’s Alberta Division, Promise Robotics is demonstrating how leading builders can integrate advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and stay ahead of evolving housing demands. With a forward-looking roadmap, Promise Robotics is laying the foundation for widespread adoption of industrialized homebuilding in communities across North America.

With its North American expansion roadmap, Promise Robotics is enabling leading builders to embrace automation and stay ahead of rapidly evolving housing demands.

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.

Through robotics and automation, Promise Robotics gives Canada’s homebuilding industry the opportunity to be leaders in addressing the global housing shortage, while unlocking new opportunities for job creation and upskilling a new generation of talent. The new Calgary facility will officially start production in Summer 2025.
