This week, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and disruptor Damion Lupo, the force behind FrameTec — a revolutionary Canadian company using cutting-edge automation to build high-quality, affordable modular homes and tackle one of the country’s biggest challenges: the housing crisis.

With soaring real estate prices and mounting pressure on municipalities to create more housing faster, traditional construction methods just can’t keep up. That’s where FrameTec comes in — leveraging automation, robotics, and sustainable practices to reimagine what homebuilding looks like in the 21st century.

In this conversation, Damion shares:

• His personal journey — including losing $25M in a single year, rebuilding from scratch, and channeling those lessons into creating impact-driven businesses.
• How FrameTec’s state-of-the-art technology is reducing framing time from weeks to days, cutting construction waste by over 90%, and increasing on-site safety.
• Why modular construction is the key to delivering affordable housing at scale — without sacrificing quality, design, or durability.
• The real reason municipalities and developers are embracing prefab construction, and what this shift means for investors, homeowners, and renters alike.
• A behind-the-scenes look at FrameTec’s massive manufacturing facility in Alberta and its national expansion plans.

This isn’t just about construction — it’s about restoring hope. It’s about redefining what’s possible in real estate. And it’s about solving a crisis that affects all of us, one beautifully built modular home at a time.

Whether you're an investor seeking your next big opportunity, a developer curious about prefabrication, or someone who just cares about the future of housing in Canada — this episode is a must-listen.
