💡
AUAR has been shipping and executing: 3 x Micro-Factories were shipped to the UK and Belgium and Design Services using AUARStudio, our design-to-manufacturing software platform have been provided for over 100 homes.
We have been actively building with our customers: our first two-storey project was built in July/Aug ‘24, de-risking our progress to mid-rise multi-family homes 18 months ahead of schedule!
Demand is outpacing our ability to deliver with 34 active customer convos happening and a strong bottom of funnel to fulfil our 2025 goals.
We are on target to do £1.2m in revenue in under a year.
