The Emergent Story

 

Emergent was founded in 2019 as a way to help with the Carr Fire rebuilding efforts in Northern California.

One of Emergent's biggest desires is to see more families housed. In recent years it has been reported that the U.S. has a deficit of 3.8 million homes, according to Fannie Mae. Whether the need for a home is due to disaster recovery, the housing crisis, or a dream home coming to life, we want to partner with you to help solve a problem that should not exist in modern society.

In addition to the housing shortage, the construction trade has seen a dramatic decline in workers over the last several decades. For every five baby boomers leaving the trade, only one millennial is entering to repopulate the industry. As a company utilizing 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) technology, our vision is to be a solution to the housing crisis and reinforce the construction industry by reducing the number of homes needed, creating jobs in partnership with LiUNA!, employing all generations, cutting time costs, and offering rapid build time for clients.

 

HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO

Every great vision needs excellent talent. Simply put, they’re the makers restoring hope and creating a future. Because of our exceptional talent, we can bring years of strategy and vision to life.
