Construction productivity has stagnated for 50 years. While manufacturing and agriculture have seen massive efficiency gains, the building industry has remained stubbornly manual. AR Perth is breaking this deadlock with our hybrid construction capabilities, spearheaded by 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP).
How It Works
3DCP involves a robotic arm extruding layers of high-performance concrete to create structural walls. This process is automated, precise, and incredibly fast.
The Benefits
- Speed: A standard house frame can be printed in under 48 hours.
- Safety: Critical structural work is performed by robots, keeping humans out of dangerous zones.
- Sustainability: The process generates zero waste, as the printer uses exactly the amount of material required.
A Hybrid Approach
We don't believe in technology for technology's sake. That's why we advocate a hybrid model. We use 3D printing for complex, labor-intensive structural elements, while relying on proven traditional trades for finishing, electrical, and plumbing work. This gives us the best of both worlds: the speed of automation with the craftsmanship of skilled labor.
Piloting in Perth
Our pilot project in the northern corridor successfully delivered 12 townhouses 40% faster than traditional methods. As we scale this technology, we anticipate reducing our average project timeline from 18 months to under 12 months. In a market desperate for supply, speed is the ultimate currency.
