About us
Our Vision
Homebuilding in the US has been done the same way for many decades. Griham Living's goal is to deliver HomeBuilding 2.0 - building residential real estate faster and more cost effectively by leveraging the next generation of design, steel based fabrication and global supply chains.
The US housing market is forecast to be short by over 3-4 million homes by 2030 & current construction practices just can’t keep up. There is a strong demand for affordable homes as many cannot afford the down payments or the high interest rate driven mortgage payments. We believe that our HomeBuilding 2.0 platform will contribute towards solving this housing problem.
