Building Houses With Robots

Australia is in a housing crisis. Tim Volkman wants to build us out of it with robots.

Tim Volkman is the co-founder of 3D Construction QLD, the Brisbane-based licensed builder behind Australia's first multi-storey 3D printed home. In this Emeka Conversations episode, Tim sits down with Emeka Edwin to unpack why a cheap iPhone has more technology in it than the rockets that put a man on the moon, while bricklayers in 2026 are still doing the same job the exact same way they did in 1996.
