D.R. Horton Taps Promise Robotics' FaaS for 1,250+ Homes
Phoenix – October 13, 2026 -- D.R. Horton, America's largest homebuilder by volume, has signed a multi-year commercial agreement with Promise Robotics to produce more than 1,250 homes through the company's Factory-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform.
D.R. Horton is the first major U.S. homebuilder to use Promise Robotics' production platform. The deal comes as Promise expands its U.S. manufacturing network.
FaaS lets builders add automated capacity without owning factories
FaaS takes a builder's existing home designs and converts them into a coordinated production process. The process spans robotic manufacturing, factory operations and onsite installation. Builders gain access to automated production capacity without developing and operating their own factories. Promise Robotics says this improves cycle times, increases capacity and allows more predictable scaling across communities and markets.
