🚨 Perth’s Housing Crisis: $1 Million Median by End of Year?!

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Perth’s median house price is on track to hit $1 million by the end of 2025.

First-home buyers are being priced out, forced to turn to apartments or smaller units as their only viable option. Homes are now taking longer to sell, the number of listings is declining, and caution is replacing confidence across the market.

The problem isn’t just affordability, it’s capacity. We’re not building fast enough, affordably enough, or efficiently enough to meet the demand.

It’s time for the housing sector to wake up. The old way of doing things simply isn’t keeping pace with Australia’s needs.

At FBR, we’re proving there’s another way.

Our Hadrian® construction robot can lay the structural walls of a home in a single day, with millimetre precision. This accuracy enables parallel off-site manufacturing of components like roof trusses, kitchens and bathrooms, getting homes to lock-up faster and more efficiently.

If we want to deliver truly affordable, sustainable housing, we need to embrace modern methods of construction, like automation, robotics, and modular thinking.

The newest Hadrian® has passed Factory Acceptance Testing ✅

Last week at our High Wycombe facility, the latest Hadrian® unit successfully built a 751-block test structure at an effective lay rate of more than 285 blocks per hour.

This Hadrian® unit includes an upgraded shuttle system for greater reliability and an enhanced layhead for improved accuracy, representing the continued evolution of FBR's robotic construction technology. 🤖🏗️ 👨‍💻

With Factory Acceptance Testing complete, this Hadrian® is now ready to move into commercial deployment, expanding our ability to meet growing global demand for our automated construction technology.

🎥 Hear from FBR’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Pivac, as he shares more about this milestone.

The first Mantis™ welding robot is now in production.

FBR’s Head of Engineering Nayeem Satar talks through the latest progress;
- Welding head and structural components entering production.
- Software already running in simulation.
- Powered by Verbotics – seamless CAD integration for weld detection and planning.
- FBR’s patented DST® technology enabling precision welding on large-scale, custom parts.

Mantis™ is designed for industries where flexibility meets scale – such as heavy fabrication sectors, including mining, shipbuilding, and large-scale industrial manufacturing. Unlike traditional welding automation, which is often locked to niche workflows or automotive production, Mantis™ delivers flexibility, accuracy, and scalability.

Since launch, we’ve had strong inbound interest from some of the largest players in their industries – companies ready to invest in automation that works.

This is Mantis™ - FBR’s next leap forward in industrial automation.

Developed in response to the heavy fabrication sector’s toughest challenges, Mantis™ bridges the gap between small-scale welding cobots and oversized gantry cells that are often too inflexible or costly for real-world workshops.

With an unmatched 8m reach and a compact 3 × 3m footprint, Mantis™ delivers up to 4× the productivity of manual welding - no complex setup, no cumbersome infrastructure.

Powered by FBR’s groundbreaking Dynamic Stabilisation Technology™ (DST®), Mantis™ actively stabilises its boom in real time, ensuring precise, high-quality welds even at maximum reach.

Compatible with leading welding equipment and designed for continuous operation, Mantis™ makes it easier to meet production targets, tackle labour shortages, and optimise floor space in busy fabrication bays.
