Why automate construction?
• Labor efficiency is alarmingly low
• Skilled workforce is vanishing
• Work quality is low
• Control of the construction site is insufficient and difficult
• Accident rate at construction sites is high (> 400,000 / year in US)
• Waste and trims are high (3 To 7 tons per average home; 40% of all materials used
worldwide are for construction)
• Low income housing and emergency shelters are critical
• Construction is the largest sector of almost all economies
• All other products are fabricated automatically – construction is still
largely a manual task

Automated construction in Japan
• 89 single task construction robots
• 11 different automated construction systems
Concrete Surface Treatment Robot
This robot absorbs the water which remains after concrete has been set.

What constitutes construction cost?
Portion Due to If Automated by CC
20%-25% Financing Short project length and control of
time to market will dramatically reduce this cost
25%-30% Materials Will be a wasteless process
45%-55% Labor Will be significantly reduced
