EvoConstructor® is the world’s first multifunctional construction robot. Discover how it automates building processes with AI, robotics and 3D printing.
Introduction
In the era of Construction 5.0, automation is no longer a future promise, it’s a present reality. At the forefront of this transformation stands EvoConstructor®, the first and only multifunctional construction robot in the world, developed by Evocons.
This groundbreaking system combines robotics, artificial intelligence, modular tools and 3D printing to automate up to 60% of the construction process. But what exactly is a multifunctional construction robot, and how does EvoConstructor® work?
What is a multifunctional construction robot?
A multifunctional construction robot is a robotic system capable of performing multiple tasks across different phases of a building project. Unlike single-purpose machines, these robots adapt to various construction needs from structural printing to finishing and vertical elevation.
EvoConstructor® is the only robot of its kind, designed specifically for the construction industry. It integrates:
- Robotic Plug & Play tools for tasks like printing, plastering, tiling, milling and concrete pouring.
- AI-driven automation for real-time decision-making and adaptation.
- 3D printing technology for walls, insulation chambers and formwork.
- Self-elevating system for unlimited vertical construction without scaffolding.
How does EvoConstructor® work?
EvoConstructor® operates through a series of automated stages that redefine traditional construction workflows:
1. 3D Printing of Volumes
Using advanced additive manufacturing, EvoConstructor® prints structural elements such as walls, insulation chambers and formwork directly on site.
2. Robotic Finishing
Once printed, the robot switches tools to apply finishes like plastering, tiling and polishing all executed with robotic precision.
3. Automated Concrete Pouring
Concrete is pumped and poured into the printed formwork, followed by automated leveling of slabs and floors.
4. Vertical Elevation
Thanks to its patented self-lifting system, EvoConstructor® can build upwards without external support, enabling high-rise construction with full autonomy.
Why is EvoConstructor® unique?
EvoConstructor® is not just multifunctional it’s transformational. Its patented geometry and robotic arm allow it to reach every corner of the printed structure, automating tasks that were previously manual and time-consuming.
Key innovations include:
- Exclusive Z-axis movement for full spatial reach.
- Self-elevation technology for limitless height.
- Modular tool kit for seamless task switching.
- Integration with Evoconstructora Digital® for full traceability and remote control.
Real-world applications
EvoConstructor® is already revolutionizing projects in Spain, including:
- Prefabricados Archipiélago: prefabs construction with robotic finishing.
- Arinaga & Agüimes: industrial and logistic developments with automated workflows.
- Canal industrializado: high-efficiency construction with minimal environmental impact.
Scaling Housing Delivery with Construction 5.0: Automation, 3D Printing and Prefab
Affordable housing is a global challenge. The mix of rising demand, financing costs, and supply constraints calls for faster, more predictable, and more sustainable ways to build. Construction 5.0 accelerates that shift by integrating automation, data, and additive manufacturing.
How does EvoConstructor® add value?
- Scale and repeatability: automated flows that enable continuous production while preserving quality.
- Compressed schedules: 3D printing + robotic finishing + automated pouring reduce bottlenecks and wait times between trades.
- Cost and certainty: standardized work, fewer reworks, and better control of consumption.
- Material sustainability: compatibility with lower-footprint mixes and reduced on-site waste.
Fit with public policy and prefabrication
- Aligned with European sustainability frameworks (EPBD, EU Taxonomy, CSRD/ESRS, Level(s), Green Public Procurement) in how it supports measurement, traceability, and repeatable quality.
- Deployable in prefab lines and on-site, enabling social housing, public facilities, and urban regeneration.
- Reconstruction of areas affected by environmental disasters (e.g., La Palma, Valencia): rapid on-site deployment and prefabricated modules for temporary housing, essential facilities, and infrastructure rehabilitation.
Benefits for developers and public administrations
- Automation of up to 60% of the construction process
- Up to 30% cost savings
- Up to 80% CO₂ reduction (depending on material)
- Up to 4× faster delivery
- Millimetric quality and standards compliance
Conclusion
EvoConstructor® is the answer to the question: What is a multifunctional construction robot and how does it work? It’s a pioneering system that automates, elevates and transforms construction — making it faster, smarter and more sustainable.
