THE PROPOSAL
The Proposal
The company proposes the review of traditional construction processes based on new technological systems. But always without ceasing to think about comfort, sustainability and energy efficiency, since we work for people and the territory. This allows us very low construction costs and time, three months, and a minimal environmental impact.
The basis of the system is a concrete injection chassis, which is the fundamental difference with other systems. This allows us to manufacture the interior in the workshop and therefore, we install the fully finished product when we arrive in the territory.
Therefore, the construction of a technological platform is being provided, which involves cost and speed.
This platform generates for us a series of new processes and also the development of new products.
Both this production model and the new products and their patents are what allow the company to be scalable both nationally and internationally.
The combined use of 3D concrete, 100% offsite construction and aerothermia in OLIVIAhome buildings brings several clear advantages in terms of decarbonisation.

THE RESULT
1. Precise manufacturing and minimization of waste.
One of the outstanding features of 3D construction with concrete is its ability to produce custom-made parts with extreme precision, allowing the exact amount of material needed to be used, avoiding waste. This controlled manufacturing drastically reduces the concrete waste that accumulates in traditional works, contributing directly to the decarbonisation of the construction sector.
Less waste of materials: Instead of using traditional forms of casting that can generate leftover concrete, 3D printing creates exactly tailored parts, reducing waste and the energy needed to remove them.
Reuse of recycled materials: The technology allows the use of recycled aggregates and ecological cements for the production of concrete, which reduces the environmental impact in the production of the material and reduces the carbon footprint.
2. Improving the durability and efficiency of buildings.
The 3D concrete pieces used in the construction of houses have greater durability and resistance to extreme conditions, such as the weather or natural disasters. This implies less need for maintenance, with which buildings consume less resources over time and have a longer useful life.
-Better resistance: 3D concrete can include optimized structures, such as walls with geometric shapes that increase rigidity without the need for additional reinforcements. This resistance allows buildings to maintain greater energy efficiency throughout their useful life.
-Less repairs: The superior durability of 3D concrete means less need for repairs and renovations, which in the long run contributes to a lower use of resources and a reduction in emissions associated with maintenance.
3. Offsite manufacturing for better energy efficiency.
This technology allows the production of components in the factory, far from the work site, in a controlled environment where it is easier to guarantee efficiency in the use of materials and energy. Factory production avoids inefficient on-site construction processes, which usually involve higher energy costs and inefficient use of materials.
-Less energy consumed in manufacturing: Offsite manufacturing is more efficient in terms of energy than traditional processes. Machines and construction techniques in the factory use less energy to create the parts, as the entire process is optimized and more automated.
-Reduction of logistical impact: 3D concrete components are manufactured and prepared in specialized factories, with less need for mass transport of materials, thus reducing emissions derived from transport.
4. Optimizing thermal insulation and reducing energy demand.
3D concrete parts can be designed with unique geometric features, such as walls with voids and built-in insulation spaces. This allows for superior thermal insulation, minimizing the need for heating and cooling, and therefore reducing the buildings’ energy demand.
-Improved insulation: 3D printing makes it possible to create complex shapes that not only increase structural stability, but can also be designed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. This type of design can help prevent heat loss in winter and maintain coolness in summer, reducing the need for heating or air conditioning systems.
-Integration of sustainable materials: 3D concrete can integrate sustainable insulation materials during the manufacturing process, improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.
THE RESULT.
The use of 3D concrete parts in OLIVIAhome not only improves construction efficiency, but also has a direct impact on the decarbonisation of the building. The manufacture of components with this technology allows a more rational use of materials, greater energy efficiency and a minimization of waste. This makes the buildings more sustainable, with a much lower carbon footprint compared to traditional construction techniques.
This system not only facilitates faster and cleaner construction, but also ensures that buildings have greater durability and long-term energy efficiency, thus improving their environmental impact at every stage of their useful life.

3D CONCRETE AND OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION
25 Points on decarbonisation in the use of 3D Concrete parts.
1. Use of recycled aggregates: The use of recycled aggregates in the production of 3D concrete parts reduces the demand for natural raw materials, thus reducing the environmental impact associated with the extraction of materials and the energy required to process them.
2. Low-emission cements: Cements with less CO₂ emissions are used, such as those that use additives or green cement (geopolymer), significantly reducing the carbon footprint in concrete production.
3.Optimization of structural design: 3D makes it possible to create optimized designs that use only the necessary amount of concrete, avoiding the excessive use of materials and therefore reducing the associated emissions.
4.Reduction of waste: The 3D manufacturing process is characterized by the precise production of parts, eliminating the generation of waste that normally occurs in traditional construction techniques.
5.Reduced production time: The additive construction allows to reduce the production and drying times of the concrete, reducing the energy required for the maintenance of the works and the emissions associated with the equipment.
6. Local and modular construction: 3D concrete parts can be produced locally, reducing emissions from the transport of materials. In addition, the modular system facilitates logistics and minimizes the need to transport materials over long distances.
7. Use of local materials: 3D manufacturing technology allows to adapt to the use of locally available materials, including recycled materials or by-products from other industries, which reduces the environmental impact.
8.Precise calculations of materials: The use of advanced software makes it possible to calculate with great precision the exact amount of materials needed for each piece of concrete, avoiding waste and reducing the environmental impact.
9. Minimal human intervention: The automated 3D printing process minimizes manual intervention, which can involve less use of vehicles and traditional construction machinery, which are often large emitters of CO₂.
10. Longer life cycle: 3D produced concrete parts usually have superior mechanical properties, such as greater strength and durability, which extends the life cycle of constructions and reduces the need for reconstruction or repair, decreasing the total emissions.
11. 3D concrete recycling: When buildings or printed parts reach the end of their life cycle, concrete can be recycled, reusing it in new projects and reducing the demand for new raw materials.
12. Water control in the process: 3D printing technology allows precise control of the amount of water used in the concrete mix, optimizing the consumption of this resource and avoiding water wastage.
13. Carbon capture technology: Special additives can be used in concrete, such as mineralized CO₂, which traps carbon within the concrete structure itself, helping to reduce the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere.
14.Improved thermal insulation: 3D printed concrete parts can be designed with features that improve the thermal insulation of buildings, reducing energy demand for heating and cooling, which helps reduce energy consumption and the emissions during the use of the building.
15. Fewer indirect emissions: Due to the automation and efficiency of the process, the indirect emissions associated with the production and transport of materials are reduced, as well as the energy costs derived from traditional works.
16. Circular economy: By integrating the manufacture of concrete parts with circular economy practices, it can be guaranteed that all by-products or materials left over from the process are recycled or reused in other processes, avoiding the creation of waste and minimizing its impact environmental
17. Reduction of the transport of separate elements: The complete manufacture of the houses in the factory allows for the minimization of transport trips of materials to the site, thus reducing the emissions associated with transport.
18. Quality control and energy efficiency in the factory: Production in a controlled environment allows maximum optimization of the energy used during manufacturing, taking advantage of efficient systems and reducing energy consumption compared to a traditional work.
19. Fast and efficient assembly on site: The assembly of houses built offsite is much faster, reducing the presence of heavy equipment (such as cranes and machinery) that generates emissions during extended periods of time on a site.
20. Less waste at the site: Since all the elements are pre-made in the factory, the generation of waste at the site is significantly reduced, both from leftover materials and packaging, which contributes to an overall reduction of waste in the project.
21. Greater integration of sustainable elements: In a factory environment, sustainable technology can be easily integrated, such as passive insulation systems, high performance windows, solar panels, and efficient air conditioning systems. This improves the energy efficiency of the home right from the start.
22.Reduction of total construction time: Offsite projects can be completed in a fraction of the time required for traditional construction, which reduces the energy demand during the construction process and the environmental impact associated with it work activity.
23. Improvement of logistics and resource management: Factory production allows a much more efficient management of materials, since purchases and use of materials can be better planned, reducing wastage and optimizing available resources.
24. Integration of circular solutions: In the context of offsite construction, the reuse of leftover materials from one project to another is facilitated, implementing a circular economy inside the factory and thus avoiding the accumulation of waste.
25. Optimized working conditions: Construction in a factory environment offers safer and more comfortable working conditions, where measures for cleaner and more efficient construction, such as reducing the use of fossil fuels for to heating or lighting.
