Planeamento e Projectos de Engenharia (PPE) is a company actively looking forward to improving their internal processes, saving time, and cutting off their production costs. Being an engineering company focused on structural design projects, one of the most time-consuming and repetitive tasks is structural framing reinforcement detailing workflow. DiRoots created a Custom Revit Add-in that brought over 90% time-savings to our client compared to their traditional workflows relying on the native Revit functionalities.

FBR Limited (ASX:FBR) is an Australian robotic technology company developing and commercialising digital construction solutions to address global needs. The Company’s first application is Hadrian X®, a revolutionary robotic blocklaying machine and system.

As part of our Building Pilot Program Agreement with GP Vivienda,  FBR has constructed four Mexican-style two-bedroom, one-bathroom house structures using the Hadrian X® at FBR’s premises, with each structure taking less than one standard shift on average to complete.

Two of the structures were built indoors at FBR’s facility, with the remaining two structures built simultaneously side by side outdoors to emulate the most economical operating process for a Hadrian X® in a residential development in Mexico.

Having completed the Pilot Program stage, FBR and GP Vivienda intend to progress the Block Development stage of the Building Pilot Program Agreement, by building additional Mexican-style structures using the Hadrian X® with blocks produced in Mexico. 

Pilot Building Program (GP Vivienda) 

Hadrian X® is the world’s first mobile robotic blocklaying machine and system, capable of safely working outdoors in uncontrolled environments with speed and accuracy. 

Hadrian X® builds block structures from a 3D CAD model, producing far less waste than traditional construction methods while dramatically improving site safety. 

Hadrian X® is capable of building the walls of a house in situ in as little as a day, with no human hand touching a brick.

FBR has completed construction of its first two storey structure using the Hadrian X® construction robot.

The structure was built on FBR’s premises in a building style commonly found around the world in developing markets, including in key FBR markets such as Mexico, the MENA and GCC region and throughout Asia. This is the first time FBR has demonstrated the Hadrian X®’s ability to build two storey structures, as well as working with design elements like steel reinforced concrete columns, suspended concrete slabs and rebar.

Chief Technical Officer Mark Pivac provides an update on FBR operations as Hadrian X® builds the first of several houses in the southern suburbs of Western Australia. 

House Build #1

FBR is pleased to announce that on Saturday, 11 July 2020, the Hadrian X® finished building the structural walls of its first display home in Dayton, Western Australia.

The Hadrian X® was deployed to the Dayton site on the afternoon of Tuesday, 7 July 2020 in preparation for commencement of building activities the following morning, and completed the structure in three and a half standard shifts.

First Display Home

Australia’s first robo-home – a residential property built by a mechanical bricklayer in less than four days – will go under the hammer in Western Australia next month

The family home in the Swan Valley was created using ground-breaking technology to build the property’s structural walls in July last year, taking just three-and-a-half days to complete. Read more at: https://www.realestate.com.au/news/australias-first-robo-built-home-hits-the-market/
