# Shibusa Systems

> Shibusa Systems is a Monterey, California construction-technology company reengineering how single-family homes and ADUs get built. Instead of shipping boxes from a factory, Shibusa pre-engineers every home in a digital Configurator and turns the messy jobsite into a predictable, kit-of-parts assembly it calls Precision Component On-site Assembly. The company claims it cuts build time by roughly 50%, costs by about 30%, and construction waste to under 5%, while delivering homes to Fortified Home resilience standards with low-carbon materials and no natural gas. Founded in New Orleans in 2019 and now based in Monterey, it is backed by seed funding and led by Wall Street veteran Katy Reynolds.
