Can AI and mass timber help solve the housing crisis? In this episode of Constructive, Seth sits down with Seyfihan Usarer — Co-Founder & COO of Algoma — to explore how their startup is transforming the slow, siloed preconstruction process into a fast, transparent decision engine for real estate developers.
From feasibility studies powered by zoning-AI and comps to mass timber kits of parts, Seyf shares how Algoma is helping developers go from site to permit with clarity and speed — while keeping carbon footprint in check. They talk housing affordability, startup lessons from McKinsey and TikTok, and why the future of construction is an optimization game.
