Social Construct designs and delivers software-generated floor plans and standardized prefabricated assemblies that snap together on site, with pipes and cables routed under floors to simplify installation. The system plans every detail of layout and infrastructure to reduce measurement variance and speed assembly; the company reports roughly 100 assembly types and wireless, kinetically powered switches. Its methods produced a completed building that finished two months faster and yielded about 20% savings on construction costs (the article also cites potential 20–30% time/cost reductions). Founded out of a 2017 Y Combinator project by Ben Huh (of Cheezburger fame), Social Construct exited stealth after selling its first building and is seeking its next site, local partner and land owner. The company plans to partner with, train and certify contractors rather than act as a general contractor, aiming to scale as a platform. Financially, Social Construct has secured about $17 million in funding and intends to raise more as it begins scaling.
