From 1-year builds to 1-week prints. 3D Construction Printing (3DCP) is disrupting the BOQ.

How it Changes the BOQ

  • Concrete Ink: Eliminates masonry, mortar, and plaster.
  • No Shuttering: Precise printer heads act as formwork.
  • Hollow-Core Design: Saves 30% material while improving insulation.

The ROI Factor

Cheaper at scale (50+ houses). NiyamX is the only generator with a dedicated 3DCP simulation engine.
