About the company:

Might Buildings is now a brand of LUMUS, an advanced manufacturing and material science company redefining how the world builds. By combining proprietary 3D printing technology, sustainable inorganic materials, and deep construction expertise, we deliver faster, more resilient and sustainable building solutions.

Our flagship product brand, Mighty Buildings, features the Mighty Wall System—a next-generation wall solution that accelerates construction timelines, enhances performance and design, and offers a scalable path to addressing global housing shortages.

The Mighty Wall System is a flexible set of ready-to-install wall panels built off-site with precision manufacturing using our proprietary LUMUS® material. Each panel arrives installation-ready—complete with integrated structure, insulation, waterproofing, and a finished exterior surface. Instead of assembling walls piece by piece, developers and builders can create full structures in a fraction of the time while still using familiar construction methods.

Panels connect seamlessly, forming durable, energy-efficient buildings with clean, modern aesthetics. Available in multiple textures and colors, our 3D-printed exteriors deliver a finished look that performs as beautifully as it appears.

At LUMUS, we’re building the future of construction today—efficient, sustainable, and beautifully executed.

Mighty Buildings is a construction technology company with offices in Oakland, and Monterrey.

We are disrupting the construction industry by creating beautiful, sustainable, and high-quality homes using 3D printing, advanced materials, and robotics automation.

We’ve raised Series B funding and are backed by top investors like Khosla Ventures, Zeno Ventures, and Y-Combinator.
