At Kit Switch, we are transforming the way apartment interiors are designed and built. Installing interiors will not only be required across new construction projects, but also in the vast majority of existing buildings in need of an upgrade. Kit Switch provides an all-in-one solution to turn those spaces into quality, affordable housing by delivering ready-to-install kitchen, bathroom, and storage modules. These ready-to-install kits shorten timelines, reduce costs, and lower carbon emissions while offering a more predictable process for developers, architects, and contractors. We are a dynamic team of driven individuals, working together to create the affordability, sustainability, and opportunity we wish to see in our industry.

Spotlight on Kit Switch from our Scale For ClimateTech (S4C) Cohort 5! They're transforming multifamily construction with ready-to-install kitchen, bathroom, and storage modules that reduce costs, construction time, and carbon footprint. They shared this about their experience in the program: "S4C really helped us think through product and manufacturing differently, with more rigor. We ensured proper ownership of our product design, structured product management processes, BOM and cost tracking, production planning, etc." Proud to support innovative companies scaling climate solutions!???
We’re thrilled to share that Kit Switch is a recipient of the Carbontech Development Initiative (CDI) Round 2 awards! ?? This funding is meaningful to us, as it supports our mission to advance innovative materials solutions for the buildings sector. We are proud to join this effort, with the support of NYSERDA, as New York State continues to build its leadership in the carbontech industry. Congratulations to all our incredible co-awardees working on critical technologies to drive negative emissions!

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Los Angeles and attend Mayor Karen Bass' Innovation in Housing Construction Expo, in partnership with LA4LA. In addition to showcasing Kit Switch and our work in the Greater Los Angeles Area, we also collectively participated in roundtable discussions facilitated by the Mayor’s Office and City Departments to examine housing requirements, codes, and processes and identify possible changes and improvements. These discussions were incredibly rich, emphasizing the urgency of producing more—and more affordable—housing while diving deep into the barriers and solutions to achieving that goal. I appreciated the City’s willingness to hear from developers, architects, contractors, and startups like ours. The open dialogue created direct lines of communication between policymakers and industry stakeholders, with a hopeful goal of aligning around outcomes. We tackled tough questions such as: - Which standards and guidelines unlock better outcomes, and which are holding us back? - Why is there hesitation to adopt new technologies in construction, and how can we address that? While it is true that stakeholders in our industry may experience discomfort around uncertainty or deviations from traditional processes, there was also a great deal of appetite to try new things. A key takeaway was that if a new solution proves to predictably drive cost, schedule, and quality improvements—metrics that Kit Switch is laser-focused on—it can overcome reluctance and spark real enthusiasm. This also highlighted the importance of funding and resources for pilot opportunities in Los Angeles, to help new companies demonstrate their viability before scaling to larger projects. Events like this remind me that there is a path to change when we work together with a mindset of outcomes, enablement, and collaboration. Thank you to Mayor Karen Bass, Armeen Neshat, Elizabeth Ben-Ishai, and the entire team for putting together event that prioritized listening and action. I was grateful to have the chance to hear from speakers such as Mayor Emmanuel Estrada, Sarah Dusseault, Cheryl Kisob, Dana Cuff and others. It’s always a pleasure to reconnect with familiar faces in-person, thinking of you Helene Cornell, as well as the inspiring professionals I had the opportunity to exchange with: Michael B. Lehrer, FAIA, Joseph Seager, Kelly Farrell AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, Beatrice Hsu, Steve Glenn, and many more. Your commitment to creating quality, affordable housing despite today’s layered challenges moves me forward. #Innovation #Construction #HousingSolutions #KitSwitch #AffordableHousing #LosAngeles
