Instabuilt homes break ground in Texas

Can building a house help solve global warming? Instabuilt homes hopes so. Founded in Kosovo with the twin goals of solving the global housing crisis and addressing climate change, the innovative homebuilding company Instabuilt has established its North American headquarters in Texas and taken on its first large-scale US project.

Instabuilt LLC will create several hundred new homes in the Whisper Valley neighborhood of East Austin, Texas. This community uses geothermal technology, solar panels, and energy storage systems to create a self-reliant community—a perfect fit for this environmentally conscious builder.

The company website proclaims its deep commitment to sustainability: “We are pioneers in a transformative movement towards sustainable practices, setting the standard for eco-friendly, bio-inspired, and sustainable construction.”

Instabuilt focuses on building homes 98% off-site, which saves energy, increases efficiency, and allows for meticulous construction accuracy.  

Utilizing new technologies

Instabuilt has made a name for itself in the homebuilding market through two proprietary technologies:

  • Panel, which provides pre-built home panels for you to ship to and assemble on-site, reducing build time by 60%. 
  • Modul involves up to 98% of construction being completed off-site within Instabuilt’s factory before being transported to the home site and installed. Modul minimizes on-site labor requirements and ensures efficient, high-quality construction while saving energy and money.

The materials Instabuilt uses to build its homes are at the core of its environmental commitment. Using recyclable and renewable materials, Instabuilt says its construction materials are suited to many different projects, including “Well-known eco-green and biomaterials with internationally recognized certifications of performance like CE and ETA. We can build anything we can dream of without making any damage to the environment.”

The Whisper Valley project will see Instabuilt create 178 homes in the community, ranging in size from one-bedroom to four and between 665 to 2,900 square feet. An additional 100 homes are also scheduled for construction in 2026.
