Precious Nyika, the CEO of Lafarge Zimbabwe, has an interesting marketing battle ahead of her; convincing the local market that a house built in 12 hours is still a house.
Lafarge Zimbabwe plans to deliver the country’s first 3D-printer this year, introducing technology that is meant to build houses cheaper and faster.
“We anticipate that we will have a 3D printer in the country in the third quarter,” Nyika said, after her company commissioned a new dry mortar mix plant.
“We look forward to the usual government support in its importation and subsequent approval for use as a technology in construction in the country.”
