Robotic Construction
The new robotic fabrication facility for Bensonwood and Unity Homes will be featured on the January 10th episode of Ask This Old House on PBS. Ask This Old House, a spin-off of the iconic home renovation show, This Old House, addresses new trends and answers homeowner questions. Tedd Benson, founder of Bensonwood and Unity Homes, will appear on the show alongside other team members. They follow the process of data-driven architecture models used by the robotic fabrication equipment in the Walpole and Keene, NH factories.
A Long History
The show marks the third collaboration with producers of Ask This Old House and This Old House. In the 2008 Fall series of This Old House, they documented the construction of a new prefab Bensonwood timber frame home from start to finish. Other episodes highlighted various aspects of timberframe and prefab construction. The new show investigates how Bensonwood’s wall, roof, and floor manufacturing lines and robotic timber fabrication are used to achieve higher precision and efficiency.
