About Modulous
Modulous is a construction technology firm positioning itself to address the global housing crisis through a digitally-led, asset-light approach to modular construction. The company was founded in 2018 by Chris Bone, a construction industry veteran with over two decades of experience, alongside a team of co-founders including Chris Shaw, Corin D'Souza, RichardHyams, Jan Bunge and Romill Bettany, who collectively bring a wealth of expertise from architecture, technology, and manufacturing sectors. Their combined background signals a strategic intent to tackle the construction industry's inefficiencies from multiple angles.
Read full description
The firm's core offering is a software platform, TESSA, which functions as a generative design tool. This platform enables property developers, landowners, and housing associations to rapidly generate architectural designs and feasibility studies. At the concept stage, the software provides detailed cost information and accurate project timelines, fundamentally altering the risk assessment for new housing projects. A key feature is its integrated sustainability reporting, allowing clients to benchmark their projects against Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. This directly targets the growing demand for sustainable and climate-friendly buildings within the real estate sector.
Modulous operates on a distinct business model that avoids the capital-intensive nature of traditional modular construction. Instead of owning and operating large factories, the company has developed a proprietary 'Kit of Parts'. This standardized set of sub-assemblies can be manufactured by existing third-party suppliers. Modulous then orchestrates the supply chain, having a logistics partner consolidate these components for final assembly near the construction site. This strategy significantly reduces fixed costs and enhances scalability. Revenue is likely generated through licensing its software platform and fees associated with the delivery of its building system. By empowering local developers and utilizing local labor for assembly, the company aims to democratize the home-building process, making it a key enabler for housing developers rather than a direct competitor.
