The strategic investment deepens product collaboration to bridge the gap between design and construction.
"We believe that meaningful progress towards more sustainable design and make processes starts with better data: captured earlier, verified at the source, and connected across the lifecycle of a project."
The financing round was led by Socii Capital with backing from Autodesk, Saint-Gobain and other investors.
"We have been fortunate to work with global industry leaders who share our vision for innovative construction methods and a productised supply chain. This latest fundraising gives us further confidence that KOPE will support those in our industry looking to adopt prefabrication and offsite manufacturing. With these key industry partners and their broad experience, we are excited about this next phase of our journey."
The Series B round was led by Autodesk with backing from Lockheed Martin and British Patient Capital.
"When people think of manufacturing, they tend to think of robotic car factories, and don’t realise that the industry is dominated by craft processes reliant on dwindling expert knowledge. This makes it incredibly complex to get things made, stifling the pace of innovation,"
