AI-driven glue-free mass timber system for carbon-negative construction
Leko Labs provides a patented cross-laminated timber (CLT 3.0) construction system combining AI design software, robotic prefabrication, and on-site assembly. Their proprietary software converts architectural blueprints into optimized timber structures in minutes, then automated robofactories manufacture wall and floor components for delivery to site.
Why This Tool Exists
Concrete and steel account for approximately 15% of global CO2 emissions, yet architects specifying mass timber face lengthy custom engineering for each project and traditional CLT relies on chemical glues that reduce recyclability. Construction teams also face slow on-site assembly timelines with conventional stick-built or precast methods.
Leko Labs converts standard architectural blueprints into optimized LEKO timber structures using proprietary AI software in minutes, then manufactures precision wall and floor components via automotive-style robofactories. The glue-free interlocking system delivers buildings 50% faster than conventional methods, with walls 40% thinner, built-in insulation, and full recyclability at end of life.
