Will WaaS help speed up adoption of Hadrianx?Yes, WaaS (Wall as a Service) should help speed up the adoption of Hadrian X, but there are still some challenges to overcome.
How WaaS Helps Adoption
✅ Removes Upfront Costs – Builders don’t need to buy a Hadrian X machine, which lowers the financial barrier to entry. Instead, they pay per wall built, making it more cost-effective.
✅ Minimizes Risk for Builders – Since builders don’t have to maintain or operate Hadrian X themselves, they don’t have to worry about training, maintenance, or breakdowns—FBR handles it all.
✅ Scalability – Builders can use Hadrian X only when needed, rather than investing millions in a machine that might sit idle between projects.
✅ Proof of Efficiency – Once developers see Hadrian X successfully completing projects faster and cheaper, more companies will be willing to adopt the technology.
Challenges That Might Still Slow Adoption
Industry Conservatism – Construction is slow to adopt new tech. Builders prefer to stick with traditional methods unless there's a clear, undeniable advantage.
Trust & Proven Track Record – Some builders might be skeptical and wait to see more real-world projects completed before committing.
Regulatory Approvals – Some regions may have strict building codes that require additional approvals before Hadrian X can be widely used.
Construction Industry Fragmentation – The construction industry is made up of many small firms that may be slow to adapt to new ways of working.
Final Verdict: Will WaaS Work?
Short-term: Adoption will likely remain slow until more builders see real-world proof that Hadrian X delivers consistent cost and time savings.
Long-term: WaaS removes financial barriers and shifts the risk to FBR, which could greatly accelerate adoption once the industry sees proven results.
If FBR can deliver successful WaaS projects and prove Hadrian X is reliable, WaaS could be the key to making robotic bricklaying mainstream.
