Track record

From the research lab to the factory floor to the building site.

Fabrik Advisory was founded in 2026. The work below was co-led by Oliver David Krieg before then, at Intelligent City and at the University of Stuttgart. It is the experience every engagement draws on.

Automation in prefab pilot factory

Facility
Multiple robot cells, more than 25 production staff
Capacity
300 to 500 panels annual production
Role
Chief Technology Officer: planning, commissioning and ramp-up

What it shows

A factory is a business decision as much as an engineering one. Volume, product mix, material flow, and pipeline decide whether automation pays.

Building platform and product strategy

Platform
Parametric software, DfMA and manufacturing automation in one building system
Strategy
Repositioned from turnkey provider to prefabricated component supplier
Growth
From 5 to 45 people; more than CA$30M in equity and grant capital
Role
Director of Technology, then CTO, then President

What it shows

A building platform is a product. It needs a roadmap, an architecture and a business model that developers and lenders can underwrite.
