Impact

Logic combines the best of manufacturing and construction to make home building simpler, more affordable, and more sustainable.

The 100-year-old way we’ve been building housing is beyond its useful life. By building the right projects the right way, delivering materials more efficiently using offsite manufacturing methods to produce project components that can be delivered and simply installed onsite, we bring about multiple efficiencies.

Sustainability

First, by utilizing skilled tradespeople in two distinct areas at once, with traditional building trades focused onsite and modern manufacturing offsite, we can decrease labor costs in both areas.

Second, by providing some components as a product and not a service, centralizing mass manufacturing of specific components offsite and delivering them to the site installation-ready, we can decrease wasted materials by 30% and CO2 by 60% compared to building the same project using all traditional methods.

Third, with materials tracked and documented in bulk from the outset, this approach to building makes it simple for builders to comply with the newly expanded reporting requirements for California’s Scope 3 and the Build American, Buy American Act (BABA). These requirements are challenges from the public to build more sustainably, and Logic’s workflows are organized to easily sustain, support, and exceed these goals.

Finally, by doing our part in establishing the wider use of the Universal Connectivity Standard, Logic is helping to pave the way for producers of modular building units to collaborate with traditional builders to establish new markets that benefit both industries and also drive down the cost of housing.

We see the following four measurable, sustainable impacts as extensions of the fundamental value proposition inherent in evolving to this 21st century methodology:

Easing the Regulatory Tidal Wave

There is a regulatory tidal wave coming, and few are ready. We prove upfront that our products already meet the regulatory requirements for both the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) and California’s Scope 3 requirement. 

This makes these looming challenges easy for our customers to navigate. We solve this by standardizing and certifying all materials used in production of our products before they reach our customers.

Easing Administrative Coordination

Onsite project coordination efforts are simplified when production is centralized by transferring significant elements of a construction project into a manufacturing setting. 

By consolidating production offsite for specific project modules, waste is reduced, onsite completion becomes more efficient, and the number of transports to a jobsite is minimized, reducing administrative time and effort.

Centralization makes it easier to align sustainability choices with efficiency choices while re-skilling and training members of the manufacturing workforce.

Delivering Time Savings to All Parties

Time is saved in the design stage because all of the base engineering and product sizing is already completed; the design team then only addresses mass-customizable features.

Tremendous production time savings are possible when parts of a building are produced in a controlled environment where all the needed materials, jigs, and measurements have been set up before the first onsite worker picks up a hammer.

During installation, onsite tradesmen need only to wire for coupling; they are relieved of the proclivities of branch plumbing and electric, which are handled with a five to ten-minute plug-and-play installation

Delivering Cost Savings to All Parties

Adopting strategic methods to streamline production processes minimizes waste and improves efficiency, simultaneously decreasing operational expenses.

Reducing manufacturing costs aligns closely with achieving operational excellence and sustainability. 

Logic productizes the most resource intensive areas of construction by using manufacturing principles to scale sustainably. 

By standardizing design, production, and installation, and by manufacturing in quantity, material savings and cost reductions are easily realized. By having fewer people on the building site for shorter periods, with fewer specialized tradespeople working on each project, there is less wasted time and less overtime. 

Evolving the Industry

Logic’s goal is to evolve the construction industry to keep sustainability front and center. The future of sustainable construction lies in using products that are easier to design and deliver. By unlocking the lessons and efficiencies of manufacturing, we bring the efficiencies of our manufacturing partners onto job sites and into existing construction teams. 

The path to sustainability in the 21st century is in this delivery of efficiency. We need to evolve the industry, develop better products, and make them readily available if we aim to hand better-functioning construction industry to the next generation.
