About Trunk
Help us make construction better for our planet.
“Today, construction contributes over 38% to global emissions.” But the way we build is changing.
Pre-manufacturing buildings, where components—think Lego pieces—are made in factories before being assembled on construction sites reduces emissions by 45%. This advanced, sustainable and efficient approach is growing around the world.
Trunk is on a mission to unlock the full benefits of prefab construction with Trunk’s AI scheduling & quality system—reimagining collaboration and enabling projects to be delivered 20% faster.
We’re early in our journey but we’ve covered a lot of ground; Trunk is revenue generating, scaling, backed by world-leading investors (including Pi Labs and Blackhorn Ventures along with operators at; Apple, Google, Signal) with customers in the UK and US.
