Precast construction has its origins in Finland since the 1950s, with over 95 per cent of all new buildings built in precast today.”

Elematic CEO Teppo Voutilainen highlighted India’s growth: “India’s urban transformation is extraordinary. By adopting precast construction, India can accelerate project delivery, increase productivity, reduce costs, and cut carbon emissions—helping to build a smarter, more sustainable future.”

Key sessions featured MyHome Constructions, Suraksha Smart City, PSP Projects, and Robomatic Precon, alongside technology partners including Trimble, Peikko, and ElectroMech. Participants also visited Hyderabad’s MyHome Grava project, India’s largest commercial building built with precast, saving 14,300 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Shridhar Rao, Sales Director, Elematic India, added: “The Academy is about collaboration. By sharing experiences between Indian builders and global experts, we can unlock new ways to deliver affordable, sustainable, and high-quality homes and infrastructure.”
