About us
Industry-changing thinking
Titan Robot Buildings was founded to introduce modern digital technology into the building industry. Our mission is to complete projects from low-cost to luxury using state-of-the art processes that reduce cost, waste, and time. Our founders are both licensed architects that possess a passion for innovation within the built environment. Rich Emery personally witnessed the aftermath of natural disasters and the high loss of life that accompanied them. He has studied towns decimated by these tragedies and has worked to design structures that can withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires, tsunamis, and floods. Luke Jumper has worked in post-disaster environments to help re-build communities in California and Louisiana. We design with mother nature in mind.
