Housing costs continue to rise while the construction industry faces growing labor shortages, delays, and increasing pressure to deliver more homes at greater scale. Most industries have transformed through technology over the last century. Construction has largely remained the same. We believe robotics, software, and automation can help modernize construction directly on-site. As the shortage of skilled labor continues to grow and housing demand increases, better tools can help scale output, improve efficiency, and deliver more housing for more families. This is the future we’re building at Monumental. Check out our open roles in the link below

Exciting progress in Kesteren. For JG Timmer - Vastberaden bouwen, we’re delivering the brickwork for a semi-detached home, covering around 20,000 bricks, with nearly half of the project now completed. What makes this project especially exciting for us is that it represents a real step forward in how our technology fits into everyday construction. For the first time, our robots are operating autonomously on scaffolding with wooden planks, a key milestone in making our solution work seamlessly on site. We’re also deploying our newest bricklaying robots, capable of laying up to 2 meters in height directly from the ground, increasing both efficiency and flexibility.

𝗗𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱?🧱 Op project The Abbey in Den Haag werd het metselwerk uitgevoerd door JM Deurwaarder Gespecialiseerde Aannemerij BV, Monumental en De Vries en Verburg. Wanneer je bij het voorbijgaan een blik zou werpen op de bouwplaats zie je een ontgraven bouwkuip, damwanden, zand, oneffen terrein. Op zichzelf niet bijzonder. Wat wél bijzonder was: de stenen werden niet gelegd door metselaars, maar door de metselrobot van Monumental. Ik ken Monumental al langer. Bezocht hun werkplaats in Amsterdam en was daar onder de indruk van wat ze bouwen. Niet een bedrijf dat alleen praat over de toekomst, maar één dat hem maakt. En Deurwaarder ken ik als een metselaarsbedrijf dat kwaliteit serieus neemt. Dus toen die twee samen met ons op een project stonden, was ik benieuwd wat dat zou opleveren. Het antwoord: iedereen deed waar ie goed in is. Onze uitvoerder kon zich volledig richten op voortgang en totaalkwaliteit. De metselaar bewaakte de kwaliteit en vertaalde de tekening naar de praktijk. Monumental stuurde de robot aan. De robot pakte het repeterende werk op. Geen strijd tussen oud en nieuw. Maar partners die samenwerken. Een gedachte die bij mij opkwam: ‘𝙬𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙠𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙯𝙚 𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙫𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙟𝙠’? Want de kansen zijn groter dan je op het eerste gezicht denkt. + Minder fysieke belasting voor de vakman; + Nieuwe vormen en patronen die nu te kostbaar of te complex zijn om handmatig te realiseren; + Toename in productiviteit; + Echt voorspelbaar bouwen; zelfde kwaliteit, elke dag, ongeacht de bezetting. Dit zijn dus heen hele verre toekomstbeelden meer. Die toekomst is best dichtbij. Maar kunnen robots alles overnemen? Nee. En dat geloof ik ook niet. Ik geloof veel meer in de tijdloosheid van vakmanschap. Van mensen die hun vak kennen, voelen en met trots uitvoeren. Die kennis kun je altijd terugvallen, en die zal altijd nodig blijven. 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗶𝘁 𝘇𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻: Passie in het vak. Plezier in het maken. De voldoening van iets creëren met je eigen handen, waar je jaren later nog langs rijdt. Mens en machine die elkaar versterken. Dat is naar mijn mening nadenken over morgen. Dat begint nu met durven testen. Fouten maken. Leren. En dan opnieuw proberen. Samen met partners die net zo nieuwsgierig zijn als jezelf. 📹Monumental | Stijn van Krimpen

At Monumental, we decided to organize a meetup around agentic coding last week. We're talking about it non-stop and we ran internal sessions to learn from each other, so why not invite a couple others as an experiment? We ended up with over 500(!!) people signing up to join the event, way beyond the capacity we have at our office. It turned out to be a spectacular event, thanks to the amazing crowd but most of all the fantastic talks. - Bouke van der Bijl: safer systems with the help of Claude - Lucas Meijer: a love letter to Pi - Fabian Jakobs: bootstrapping agentic systems And people loved it! Missed the event? YouTube link in the comments for the full talks.

We decided to organize a meetup around agentic coding last week. We're talking about it non-stop at Monumental, we've been doing internal sessions to learn from each other, so why not invite a couple others as an experiment? We ended up with over 500 people signing up to join the event, way beyond the capacity we have at our office. The days before the meetup, I started getting random messages from people asking me if I could get them or their friends in, as if this was the hottest club in town. It turned out to be a spectacular event, thanks to the amazing crowd but most of all the fantastic talks by Fabian Jakobs, Lucas Meijer, and our own Bouke van der Bijl. They have graciously agreed to publish their talks online on our new YouTube channel so that everyone can learn and catch up with the incredible future we live in. Go check them out!

Niall, one of our first hardware engineers, just wrote an amazing post about his journey, dropping out of his Masters (highly recommended for many talented people!) and joining Monumental in the first months of being founded. It's so fun to read a post like this and see the earliest videos of what we built and have never shared before. They make you half embarrassed and half proud, which is a probably the right balance. Niall's job when he started was supposedly "mechanical engineer" and he designed and built key systems of our architecture, including our ingenious mechanism that extrudes mortar. But the exciting part of being in a fast-growing startup is that he picked up whatever needed to happen during fast growth, which meant that at any point in time he was also our head of manufacturing, workshop technician, head of supply chain, forward deployed engineer, hiring manager, and probably many other things — which is why we never really care about the job title. If you're into hardware, there is probably no team more exciting to join today than Monumental's hardware team. We're working on novel zero-to-one designs to push our roadmap forward, doing reliability engineering on commercially deployed robots with real world data, and scaling up manufacturing, all at once. Join us and help us build robots that build the real world! Link to Niall's post in the comments below.

Monumental CTO, Sebastiaan, wrote a piece about how we build software for construction robots. Coordinating fleets of autonomous ground vehicles across parallel deployments is harder than it looks. Sebastiaan covers how we manage this at scale, using a TypeScript DSL where plans are treated as data - making them easy to simulate, trace, and then run unchanged on-site. If you’re curious what an operating system for construction looks like in the real world, give it a read. https://lnkd.in/eFE-4DGZ
