HousingWire reports that D.R. Horton will pilot Promise Robotics’ integrated robotic manufacturing to support construction of more than 1,250 homes.

The homebuilder says the factory-as-a-service structure is designed to let it test industrialized framing capacity and production predictability while limiting upfront factory ownership risk, under a multiyear agreement with Promise Robotics.

HousingWire adds that Promise Robotics positions the system as able to frame a typical 1,800-square-foot home in about eight hours, as D.R. Horton evaluates whether industrialized construction can improve speed, cost discipline, and capital efficiency.
