Autovol, a pioneering company based in Idaho, is on the verge of completing a groundbreaking affordable housing initiative in San Jose, California. Virginia Street Studios, a five-story apartment building, stands as a testament to Autovol’s unique approach, blending traditional construction methods with cutting-edge robotic automation.
Established over two years ago, the 400,000 square foot Autovol factory has become a hub of innovation, employing over 100 Solutioneers under the leadership of CEO Rick Murdock. Collaborating with The Pacific Companies, Autovol is spearheading modular construction, revolutionizing the housing sector with its fusion of craftsmanship and robotics.
Rick Murdock envisions a future where automation and robotics redefine the housing industry. This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency but also creates new opportunities for career development. With plans to expand its team to over 300 Solutioneers, Autovol aims to address the pressing need for affordable housing with unparalleled precision and scale.
In addition to fostering its own workforce, Autovol’s project has spurred job creation in related industries, exemplified by companies like House of Design. Shane Dittrich, the founder of House of Design, emphasizes the transformative potential of automation in addressing labor shortages and housing affordability challenges.
Virginia Studios, comprising 301 units over a podium structure with underground parking, showcases the seamless integration of automation and skilled craftsmanship, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of construction technology.
