MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Onx Homes, a pioneering home builder with nearly 50 patents focused on resilient and sustainable construction, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025.

The home builder has been recognized for building the strongest, easiest-to-own homes. Onx Homes’ disaster-resilient construction methodology represents a fundamental shift in residential development, offering a scalable solution to address housing safety and sustainability challenges amid climate uncertainty.

"At Onx Homes, we've reimagined the homebuilding process by merging advanced materials with smart design and our patented X+ Construction™ technology, allowing us to build better, more resilient homes with the lowest cost of ownership to new homeowners, at a fraction of the time," said Ash Bhardwaj, Co-Founder and CEO of Onx Homes. "Our integrated approach creates disaster-resilient and economically advantageous living spaces for homeowners in an era of ever-increasing climate risk. This fundamental shift in construction methodology isn't just an improvement on traditional methods—it represents the future of housing in a world that demands resiliency without compromising design and quality."

Onx Homes is transforming residential construction through disaster-resilient building innovations that integrate climate protection with sustainable design. By manufacturing precision-engineered components in controlled environments, Onx creates homes that withstand extreme conditions—from hurricanes and hail to wildfires and floods—while dramatically reducing construction timelines and environmental impact. It also focuses on delivering significant long-term environmental and cost benefits, including lower home insurance costs and energy bills.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”
