Hadrian X builds first US homes

Robotic technology company FBR has completed the walls of the first home in its US Demonstration Program with CRH Ventures, with the walls certified as compliant with the design and building code.

This marks a significant milestone in the commercialisation of FBR’s technology, being the first build ever completed by the recently updated Hadrian X robot in an international market.

The build was completed with Florida builder New Century USA, one of the participating builders in the demonstration programme which will include builders across a spectrum of size, volume and style of homes to demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of the Hadrian X.

FBR will build the walls of four more homes for New Century USA, while two homes will be built for Christopher Alan Homes, another Florida based builder and three homes will be built by a contractor nominated by CRH Ventures.

FBR Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mike Pivac said: “We’re very proud to have completed our first residential structure in an international market.

“Having the opportunity to present our world-leading technology to one of the largest addressable markets in the world has been very exciting so far and we are looking forward to continuing to grow our operations in the United States.”

Upon completion of the Demonstration Program, FBR will receive a payment of US$400,000 from CRH Ventures under the terms of the Demonstration Program agreement.

The completion of the demonstration will mark the commencement of a 45-day period for CRH Ventures to exercise the option to form a joint venture for the delivery of FBR’s Wall as a Service construction offering in the United States.
