Construction has an information problem.. not a physics one. At Mosaic, we’re leveraging AI through normal human language to manipulate thousands of data points across a project, allowing us to achieve faster timelines, higher quality, and lower costs. At the BVIN Summit, Salman Ahmad took the stage to share 3 lessons learned from integrating AI in traditional residential construction. 1. AI moves the “average” not the “maxima.” It cannot improve the productivity of top performers. It only can raise average productivity levels. 2. AI is not a universal panacea. AI is a “hammer.” Try to make your problem a “nail.” 3. LLMs are really good at generating code Think how you can represent your business as code. 📸 : Julian Walter Photography
If you’re building a BTR community in a municipality with no precedent in 2025, be prepared to spend extra time in the planning phase. Despite less activity compared to prior years, BTR developments still command strong market share. For those new projects breaking ground in locations without BTR, here’s where your timelines might expand: → Engineering, site planning, and approvals are subject to public hearings and political processes. → BTR is approvable in many commercially zoned areas. Be ready for questions from cities that didn’t anticipate a residential use on a specific parcel. Can the schools handle a hundred more kids? Will the fire department need more trucks? Can existing roads accommodate the uptick in traffic? → The lack of clear definitions in existing codes, particularly in a municipality where there hasn't been a project built before, can make initial BTR project entitlements challenging. Navigating this process takes months and requires a high degree of due diligence, flexibility, and above all, patience.
“I’m proud to be able to help streamline processes and create new workflows that make our teams more efficient and improve the experiences of trades.” If you’re a Trade Partner, you’ve probably worked with Elizabeth G. Ciggia. As a Corporate Paralegal at Mosaic, Elizabeth is deep in the weeds of working with trades. In her daily work, she’s helping our Purchasing team manage Trade Prequalification, overseeing Corporate Governance, and ensuring all trades meet insurance requirements. She loves that she gets to work with our Purchasing Team and Trade Partners on a regular basis. The work she does, ultimately, helps trades win work. Thanks for all that you do, Elizabeth!
What economic BTR trends are we watching for in 2025? Salman Ahmad shared his top 3: 1) “We might not see significant growth this year, but the demographics suggest the industry will get back in gear, and we’ll see more deals get over the line. Those who can get projects off the ground sooner will be positioned for strong absorptions and rent growth starting in ‘26.” 2) “Interest rates and access to equity continue to be a challenge on the supply side and may even get worse before they get better. But we are certainly not demand limited. If your deals are stalled today, be ready to move if rates start to drop.” 3) “In a complex capital environment, I would not be surprised to see more high-quality projects with fewer units. Moving forward these deals might be more attractive (and less capital intensive).”

This year, we completed our 1,000th home at Mosaic. However, the number on its own is not what I'm excited about (after all, there are companies that deliver more homes in a single month). Rather, it's the fact that we went from 0 to 1,000 in just around 3 years through organic growth. Growth that continues to compound. Today, we have 2,000 homes under active construction. Reflecting on the lessons from the first 1,000, here’s 3 things that I believe will get us to 10,000 homes: 1. Our Trade Partners We need even deeper integration and collaboration with residential trades to deliver on site construction effectively and at scale. 2. Data Management We need an astonishingly high level of organization and standardization of data for scheduling, specifications, and changes. 3. The Right Company Culture We’ve created a culture of transparency and continuous improvement. We trust our team with important company information. We seek to create a forum to express ideas and challenge the direction we go. And we aim to be responsive to it. I’m super proud of the team we’ve built who have gotten us here (only a handful of them pictured here). 2024 was a great, yet challenging, year. There’s a lot in store for Mosaic in the future!
3 Deal-ready strategies for 2025 from Paul Erhardt 👇 “We’re seeing some investor caution going into next year. For those moving forward, look at: 1️⃣ Simplifying your product plans even further to lower complexity and cost 2️⃣ Getting started on new markets outside of the largest ones 3️⃣ Working with trades and GCs to optimize construction timelines Those who can get projects to pencil now will have an advantage over developers who pause and won’t have any new homes to rent in 2026.”
