To accommodate the largest wave of urban growth in human history, we expect to add 2.4 trillion ft2 of new floor area to the global building stock every month for 40 years [IEA]. A large portion of this will need to be housing (300M housing units needed globally) in already dense built environments and within existing structures (⅔+ of the population in cities by 2050) [UN DESA].

Kit Switch is a young construction startup selling modular building interiors for multifamily housing developments. Our modules are produced off-site through a network of contract assembly shops, shipped, and assembled on-site in a matter of hours, replacing fragmented, costly, and lengthy stick-built construction with a standardized streamlined product.
Our modules make a rapidly deployable and affordable solution for modular interiors that can deliver housing with a reduction of 12.5 tonsCO2e/500sqft of new units.

We hope the Hackaday Prize can help us launch Kit Switch and reinvent our cities
