Australia’s First Multi-Storey 3D Concrete Printed Home – Delivered by Contec Australia
Contec Australia has delivered Australia’s first multi-storey 3D concrete printed home, setting a new benchmark for construction innovation. Located in Tapping, Western Australia, the home was completed in just five months from start to finish, with the structural walls printed in only 18 hours using our advanced 3D concrete printing technology.
This project highlights the speed, efficiency and sustainability of in-situ 3D concrete printing – a construction method now available across Perth and regional WA through Contec Australia.
Project Highlights:
- 18 hours of active wall printing using Contec’s 3D concrete printer
- 22% cost saving on structural walls compared to brickwork
- 3x stronger than brick (50MPa vs 15MPa)
- Completed in just five months, including full project delivery
Performance Features:
- Fire-resistant
- Water-resistant
- Termite-proof
- Cyclone rated
- Thermally and acoustically efficient
This Tapping residence is not only a landmark 3D concrete printed project in WA but also a scalable solution for faster, more affordable and sustainable housing. As the first company to offer 3D concrete printing in Perth, Contec Australia is redefining what’s possible in construction.
