Interview
Alexander Stepura did not intend to start a business in homebuilding . He had spent approximately 30 years in robotics , incorporating efficiency into human routines , until the war in Ukraine happened , and everything changed . With many of his staff left displaced by the Russian invasion , Alexander came up with a fast-assembling modular home that could be easily delivered from point A to B , and would keep them safe . “ There were too many uncertainties . So we came up with a plan to use the CNC machines we have in Kyiv and apply the equipment we were already using to build these mobile homes ,” Alexander shares .
Of course , those first few homes experienced some ‘ teething issues .’ However , now that initial issues have been ironed out , investor and close friend , Chris Baxter , can attest that the product is sturdy , sleek and reflects modern architecture . HOMErs has gone on to achieve exceptional success , having been featured in The Times , BBC , Insider , The Financial Times , and now Modern Home Builders . Having covered the topic previously in our February issue , with Tony Bertoldi sharing the importance of destigmatizing affordable housing , Alexander ’ s story is altogether timely , poignant and inspiring . modernhb . com 11
