Australian robotics technology company FBR Limited has taken a firm step towards the commercial expansion of its Hadrian masonry robot after signing a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Fraser Lyne Constructions, a New South Wales-based builder.
Hadrian’s sale responds to an urgent need
The agreement sets out the terms for the sale of a Hadrian unit for A$7.8 million to operate in the north-central coastal region of New South Wales.
This area faces a chronic housing shortage and increasing pressure to accelerate construction times. Hadrian seeks to bring speed and efficiency in that context.
Technology and construction
The contract calls for a phased implementation model. Fraser Lyne will provide structural designs and site methods to be analyzed by FBR, while FBR shares the technical aspects of Hadrian and its automated construction system.
Under the preliminary agreement, FBR will receive an initial 10% deposit (AUD 780,000) and the remaining balance upon factory validation. The delivery includes training to Fraser Lyne personnel, remote support and licensed access to TAD, FBR’s proprietary architectural software. In addition, a 12-month warranty is provided.
