25/10/2013: In a groundbreaking move set to redefine the future of construction, CyBe Construction and SIRE3D announce the largest 3D concrete printer deal in history. The deal represents the purchase of 25 printers, which will be leveraged to offer faster, more cost-effective, and more sustainable construction. The two are committed to challenging the affordable housing crisis by revolutionizing the construction industry at its core.

3DCP Industry’s Biggest Deal Ever

3D concrete printing (3DCP) is emerging as a construction technology with the potential to revolutionize the construction industry. Whereas this building method used to be considered novel and inaccessible, 3DCP has rapidly reached a level of undeniable global recognition. Even with the technology becoming more widespread and accessible, however, never before has there been a machine deal within the industry as significant as the recent arrangement between CyBe Construction and SIRE3D. On November 1st, the Texas-based 3DCP company SIRE3D acquired as much as 25 printers from the Dutch 3DCP hardware, software, and technology provider CyBe Construction. The deal represents the largest purchase order ever seen in the 3D concrete printing industry. With the acquisition of these 25 concrete printers, SIRE3D can now provide large-scale 3D concrete printing solutions that surpass those offered by any other company.

Match Made in Heaven

SIRE3D is a part of the SIRE Group, an international investment company that specializes in sustainable residential and commercial real estate investment opportunities. With a focus on revolutionary construction innovations, the partnership with CyBe Construction isn't surprising. The Dutch construction-tech company has over 10 years of experience in 3D concrete printing and leverages its cutting-edge hardware, software, and materials to offer global construction solutions that are faster, more cost-effective, and more sustainable. With their advanced technology, years of experience, and a global community, they form the perfect partner for SIRE3D, and vice versa. While SIRE3D was looking for a provider of 3D concrete printers and the proper knowledge and experience to maximize the technology's efficiency, CyBe Construction benefits from an established US-based investment partner to drive the successful adoption of 3DCP in the United States. CyBe Construction CEO Berry Hendriks noted that “It is important to organize your company in a way that is scalable. A way to create this scalable flow is by choosing the right partners.” The mutually beneficial partnership will take both SIRE3D and CyBe Construction to a whole new level of possibilities.

Putting the Printers to Work

SIRE3D is planning to put their newly acquired 3D printers to good use: they have already lined up their first project to dive into. Using the 25 printers, 15 CyBe RCs and 10 CyBe GRs, they will construct a multi-story commercial complex with unmatched speed, affordability, and sustainability. The project, named Sierra Creek, will be built in Rosamond, CA, and will consist of almost 250 different rental units. With an average square footage of 919 square feet (85m²) per unit, this venture is set to be the largest 3DCP project in the world. Leveraging the technology's capabilities to deliver cheaper, faster, and more sustainable construction, SIRE3D aims to showcase the revolutionary possibilities of 3D concrete printing with the Sierra Creek project. For the project, the groundbreaking Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) method will be used; a way of completely finishing building units off-site, to later install these modular buildings on-site. And this innovative project is just the beginning of their journey into additive manufacturing; with the experience gained from their first project and their 25 cutting-edge machines, they're ready for a future filled with large-scale real estate construction.

Fundamental Changes in the Construction Industry

SIRE3D is committed to enhancing the capabilities of 3D concrete printing in the US and around the world.According to their roadmap, in five years, they aim to be able to construct large-scale, multi-story residential buildings. In ten years, they plan to achieve mainstream adoption of infrastructure and tall building printing. By 2040, they aspire to develop autonomous construction swarms capable of operating in even the most extreme environments. With CyBe Construction as a provider of cutting-edge technology, and SIRE3D having ambitions to transform construction at its core, the two are poised to revolutionize the industry by doing things that have never been done before. Together, they have the potential to become the most significant 3D concrete printing partnership globally, offering affordable and sustainable construction solutions to all. These future development plans offer a positive outlook on the ever-increasing need for affordable housing. By leveraging 3DCP's ability to produce real estate more quickly, affordably, and sustainably, SIRE3D and CyBe Construction embark on their journey to address the global housing crisis.
