Advanced, Applied, Automated Building Technologies (A3BT)
In the past few decades, we have been building our schools, factories, offices and homes in pretty much the same way… with a nail and hammer. A3BT will revolutionize the modular building industry, by creating modules that are flexible, integrated with sustainable and smart elements, which will arrive at the construction site more than 90% completed.
Developed with full lifecycle sustainability in mind, A3BT will reduce your buildings’ Co2 impacts, and the time required for on-site personnel and equipment. Hence, improving safety and making it more affordable by everyone.

What is A3BT?
Let us ask the obvious question: How many of us can afford the likes of a car let say , if cars were built in the same way a house for example is built (very little automation)? This same question applies to many other assets we use in our daily living. In asking this question, we hope to invigorate your thinking with our ways of seeing how buildings will be made in the future.
A3BT will revolutionize the building industry through a new paradigm approach to construction and building. Through industrialization, we optimize the environmental and economic value of developments, in addition to introducing new innovative building concepts and technologies.
A3BT assembles smart, full lifecycle (from the birth of your building to the demolition/re-use) sustainable elements and construction methods at an off-site facility, ensuring high-quality standards, reduction in costs and lead time. A3BT is like a Lego block and will arrive at the construction site more than 90% completed, minimizing the equipment, time and personnel required for on-site assembly; hence, ensuring projects are delivered on time and on target.
On top of ensuring energy efficiency, meeting all necessary fire and safety standards, A3BT will ensure greater convenience to your everyday life through the use of smart elements.
Although prefabrication techniques have existed for decades, A3BT takes prefabrication to a whole new level. In the past prefabs were considered cheap, ugly and only used in low cost housing. In fact, every time modular housing is mentioned, the natural association is container housing. However, given the rise of new building materials, technologies, and production methods, A3BT can be used for any market segments and applications. Whether it be for a luxury home, a retirement home, a temporary shelter, a multi-story mixed use development, a factory, the applications are only limited to the imagination.

The Benefits of A3BT
Full Lifecycle Sustainability
From the development of the A3BT to the transportation and recycling/re-use of A3BTs, we are sensitive to the environmental impacts of A3BT, which is why we ensure that minimal materials are wasted, use light materials (steel used is as much as 90% lighter than concrete) that are non-toxic, and have a high recycling/reuse rate.
With the ability to meet passive home standards, our A3BT will not only ensure less energy usage, but also less impact to the environment. At A3BT, we are so passionate about this topic, that we use A3BT to build our own homes.
Improved and Consistent Quality
Industrialization ensures consistency and precision. It also ensures that higher skilled workers are available to ensure quality across each A3BT built.
From quality insulation, structural materials, windows, and even the kitchen sink, we select quality materials to meet the highest standards, from meeting the requirements of a passive home to meeting the needs of a luxurious development.
Economical and Faster to Build
More than 90% of A3BT is completed off-site, which reduces the need of skilled manpower, coordination/communication and weather-related risks. In a study done my McKinsey & Company[1], modular construction can speed up construction by as much as 50% and cut costs by 20%.
Mobility and Flexibility
A3BT is mobile! Your first home or office may not be in the best location or perhaps you need a change of scenery, your A3BT can be lifted off its foundations, moved and reassembled in a different location.
The design of A3BT also allows you to be cost conscious, expanding to your needs. Whether it be another office or another bedroom for a new addition to the family, A3BT is ready and waiting.
Healthier and Cleaner Air
Unfortunately, in todays’ world, there are many airborne pollutants, such as vehicle fumes, fungus, mold, your neighbors’ cigarette smoke and even pollen (for those with an allergy) surrounding our homes. A3BT can help ensure that the hazards outside the confines of our home are kept outside and that only clean, healthy air is contained within.
Safety
A3BT does not only meet your local fire and structural safety standards , building with A3BT could saves lives!
It is a well-known fact that most construction accidents happen on the construction site. Considering that A3BT is assembled off-site, there will be less chances of accidents happening on-site. Making A3BT safer to build with.
