The construction industry is at a turning point. Pre-manufactured housing seeks to disrupt conventional building methods due to labor shortages, weather delays, and material waste, as a faster, more efficient alternative. But efficiency shouldn’t come at the cost of health or sustainability.In this episode, Neal Collins sits down with Evan Ryan, a founding member of <a href='https://www.croft.haus/'>Croft</a>, a company pioneering a new approach to homebuilding. By integrating the speed of manufacturing with the benefits of natural building, Croft is able to produce homes that are actually carbon negative. Their homes use locally sourced straw for insulation, actively sequestering carbon rather than emitting it. On average, each Croft home locks away 146 tons of carbon, while conventional homes of the same size release between 120 and 260 tons of CO2.Join us as we dive into Evan’s journey, the company’s vision, and the challenges and opportunities in reshaping the future of housing. If you care about regenerative design, sustainable materials, and creating homes that are both high-performing and healthy, this episode is for you. ———————- This podcast isn’t just about ideas—it’s about action.
