3D printed housing is coming to Queensland through a new agreement between a Japanese tech company and an Australian advisory firm.
Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner, North Asia, Tak Adachi said Hyogo-based Serendix and Planum Partners signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce cutting-edge 3D printed housing technology to Australia, starting with a demonstration project in Queensland.
Mr Adachi said the signing took place at the Australia Pavilion at World Expo 2025 in Osaka and was facilitated by Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ).
“This alliance is a bold step toward delivering faster, more affordable homes, especially for our regional communities, and it shows the world that Queensland is open for smart, scalable investment,” he said.
“3D printed homes can be built in under 24 hours, dramatically reducing construction time and costs.
“By aligning Japan’s innovation in 3D printing with Queensland’s housing goals, we’re opening doors to scalable solutions and long-term international collaboration.”
Mr Adachi said the collaboration aimed to revolutionise the construction industry by delivering affordable, sustainable, and rapidly deployable housing solutions using Serendix’s proprietary 3D printing technology.
He said the MoU outlined a joint commitment to work with the Queensland Government to build a demonstration home and conduct a feasibility study on the suitability of Serendix’s products to suit local conditions.
“Planum Partners will support Serendix in exploring broader expansion across Queensland, with a focus on regional development and housing innovation.”
Serendix CEO Hiroyasu Koma said the company was excited about the potential to contribute to Queensland and Australia’s sustainable and affordable housing sector.
“Serendix is keen to work with the Queensland Government going forward and to meet the expected strong demand for 3D printed housing with a local facility in the future,” Mr Koma said.
