In Wyndham, Melbourne, a groundbreaking project is underway: Australia's first 3D multi-storey house. CEO Ahmed Mahil claims that this innovative construction method will significantly address the ongoing housing crisis marked by slow building times. Traditional construction has seen an increase in average build times for homes over the years, with 3D printing estimated to complete homes in as little as five weeks. Mahil asserts that this method can also be 25% to 30% cheaper than conventional methods, though specific costs were not disclosed.
The average build time for standalone houses has slid from nine months to 12.7 months, indicating a significant slowdown in Australia's housing construction.
3D printing shaves huge chunks of months off a build, with Mahil’s house set to be completed within five weeks.
3D printing comes cheaper at 25% to 30% than traditional builds, according to comparative quotes received by Mahil.
Almost silently, cement piping that looks like soft serve is methodically poured by a giant robotic crane, marking a new era in building technology.
