Connect Homes is a technology company.
Connect Homes designs and manufactures modern, modular residences using industrialized construction. Integrating innovative architectural design with precision factory production, it delivers steel-frame homes efficiently. This approach enables controlled assembly of various residential structures, from single-family to multi-family units, providing quality living solutions for diverse settings.
Architects Jared Levy and Gordon Stoddard co-founded Connect Homes about a decade ago. Their experience in Marmol Radziner's pre-fabricated division inspired an efficient, design-forward construction method. They aimed to overcome traditional building challenges through factory-based modular techniques, to enhance quality and reduce costs.
Connect Homes serves individuals and markets seeking thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient housing, including specialized initiatives like Connect Shelters. Its vision redefines residential construction by democratizing access to modern, high-quality homes. Delivering superior living experiences via advanced manufacturing, it promotes sustainable building and inhabitation.

Connect Homes is a portfolio company specializing in the design, manufacturing, and installation of modern, sustainable, affordable prefabricated modular homes.[1][2] It serves individual homeowners and communities seeking high-quality, eco-friendly housing, solving the problem of high costs, long timelines, and environmental impact in traditional stick-built construction by delivering customizable, energy-efficient homes via a factory-built, direct-to-consumer model.[1][2][3] The company has raised $12.3M across three funding rounds, operates from factories in California (San Bernardino) and Arizona (Mesa), and demonstrates growth through innovations like the PRO PLATFORM for 2-50 unit communities, enabling premium semi-custom homes in half the time and cost of conventional builds.[2][3][5]
Founded in 2013 (with some sources noting 2015) by architects in Los Angeles, California, Connect Homes emerged from a decade of research aimed at making high-modern, green architecture affordable for the mass market.[1][2][3] The founders sought to revolutionize the single-family home market by transforming high-end custom residential design into a scalable, industrialized product using patented modular systems.[2] Early traction came from their advanced California factory, which produces homes 95% complete— including finishes, appliances, plumbing, and roofing—allowing nationwide delivery and installation in as little as two weeks, marking a pivotal shift toward efficient prefab housing.[2][3]
Connect Homes rides the wave of prefabricated and modular construction, a trend accelerating due to housing shortages, labor constraints, and climate imperatives for sustainable building.[1][3] Timing aligns with rising demand for affordable, green housing amid urbanization and net-zero goals, bolstered by market forces like supply chain efficiencies from factory production and policy pushes for energy-efficient homes.[1][2][3] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering scalable high-design prefabs, challenging traditional construction's inefficiencies, and enabling mass-market access to mid-century modern aesthetics adapted for modern climates, potentially reshaping single-family and community development nationwide.[2][5]
Connect Homes is poised to expand its factory network and PRO PLATFORM amid booming prefab demand, targeting larger communities and international shipments while leveraging sustainability trends like net-zero mandates.[2][3][5] Evolving regulations favoring modular builds and tech integrations (e.g., smart systems) will shape its path, amplifying influence as a leader in affordable, green housing that redefines accessibility without sacrificing design.[1] This positions it to scale from its $12.3M funding base, delivering on the promise of efficient, beautiful homes for all.[2]
Connect Homes has raised $16.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $5.0M Other Equity in November 2020.
