First 3D printed villa to support sustainable construction launched

Dar Al Arkan, the leading real estate company in Saudi Arabia, has launched the first 3D Construction Printed (3DCP) two-story, 9.9 meter high villa in the Kingdom in Shams Al Riyadh residential development. Using 3CDP technology is the first of its kind achievement in the region since it accelerates the speed of construction while enhancing safety and reducing wastage and errors. Dar Al Arkan followed strict protocols and an evidence-based approach to ensure the project, including the first villa, is being constructed safely in accordance with Saudi Arabia’s building codes in every aspect.

The villa was printed directly on site, during the summer without any cooling equipment or shading indicating that the technology is capable of printing homes year-round and in any part of the Kingdom.

Dar Al Arkan launched the 3DCP technology in Q4 2021 to lead the transition of the construction and real-estate industry toward advanced and sustainable building practices and complement the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to support economic diversification and digitisation.

Unlike traditional home-building methods, 3DCP cuts the construction time by more than half, is more flexible and requires less manpower since it takes only three workers to build one house. This, in turn, also contributes to decreased Lost Time Injury, creating a safer workplace.

Additionally, less concrete is needed to complete a building making the technology more sustainable and a viable solution for a low-carbon construction industry of the future. For consumers, the combination of these advantages ensures lower costs and more affordability compared to traditional construction.
