Monumental

Monumental is a construction-technology company developing autonomous robots that perform on-site masonry work. Its systems place bricks and mortar with millimeter precision, using computer vision and AI to make the building process software-defined. The company's robots have built facades for houses, canal retaining walls, and other structures on real construction sites across the Netherlands.

The company employs about 100 engineers and technicians with expertise in computer vision, AI, machine vision, hardware design, and software. Team members have backgrounds at firms including Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta, and 1X. Monumental has raised $25 million in funding and operates in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Monumental's stated mission is to make housing more affordable, construction faster, and buildings more beautiful. The company is part of a broader effort to bring automation to an industry that has historically relied on manual labour for masonry tasks.
