FBR, the Perth, Australia-based robotics company behind the Hadrian X block-laying robot, has announced that it has signed a term sheet with GP Vivienda, the housing division of one of Mexico’s largest construction and real estate development companies, to supply its “Wall as a Service” (WaaS) for between 2,000 and 5,000 homes in Mexico.
As per FBR’s statement, the company will also supply all associated retaining walls and other brick and block structures on one or more greenfield residential development sites in Mexico following the completion of various required milestones. The milestones include receiving confirmation that FBR’s Hadrian X and Fastbrick Wall System are compliant with all relevant codes and regulations in Mexico, the completion of a collaborative commercial model, the completion of a pilot building program of 20 homes in Mexico with the Hadrian X, and the easing of Covid-19 travel restrictions.
FBR’s WaaS will supply the blocks and construct walls onsite to the specification of a digital architectural plan. For each site where the Hadrian X is deployed, the parties will commit to the use of WaaS on at least 100 homes.
“We are excited to have a term sheet in place to build our first homes in North America under competitive commercial terms,” said FBR’s Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Mike Pivac. “The volume of work contemplated under the term sheet will give us a great start from which to grow our business in North America, as there will be a strong pipeline of work to complete as soon as we deploy.”
