New modular housing factory by Onx Homes opens in Florida.
Onx Homes situated in Pompano Beach, Florida, has launched its X+ Construction Systems Factory. The facility, which has the capacity to manufacture four modular homes daily, aims to address the housing shortage in Florida and beyond.
The factory’s opening was led by Onx CEO and Cofounder Ash Bhardwaj and attended by a diverse group of stakeholders.
“The X+ Construction Systems Factory launch is the linchpin to our future progress,” said Bhardwaj. “It showcases our proven ability to use X+ Construction to deliver resilient homes with speed and drive lower ownership costs to new homeowners.”
In his opening address, Bhardwaj highlighted the facility’s capacity to build over 1,200 homes annually and announced plans to expand into Texas, California, Arizona, and Nevada. The 14,000 square metre factory, which cost $50 million (AUD $77 million) to build, will provide over 250 jobs and produce light-gauge steel roof systems and monolithic low-carbon concrete, reinforced steel dual-layer wall panels with built-in insulation capable of resisting 281 kmh wind loads.

Onx Homes is forecasting that their new X+ Construction technology can manufacture a new modular home in 30 days.
“With the launch of the Pompano X+ Construction Systems Factory, we are on track to becoming the fastest-growing builder in North America,” added Bhardwaj. “We are leveraging technology to build the most energy-efficient homes that are also responsive to climate change.”
