Imagine if renovating an old building was as precise as assembling a car in a factory. Instead of messy, slow on-site work, parts are made off-site and robots handle the dangerous demolition and drilling. Everything is mapped by drones and 3D scanners first, so the new energy-saving systems fit perfectly the first time.
Deep building renovation is currently too slow, expensive, and wasteful due to manual on-site labor and poor coordination between design and execution.
The InCUBE Suite, a digital platform integrating BIM, 3D scanning, and drone data. They also developed robotic systems for demolition and drilling and a Renovation Marketplace.
If you are a general contractor dealing with slow on-site timelines and high waste — this project developed off-site manufacturing and robotic systems that reduce waste streams and on-site time by over 35%.
If you are an energy consultant dealing with the gap between planned and actual energy savings — this project developed the InCUBE Suite and Digital Twins to keep the energy performance gap below 20%.
If you are a property manager dealing with high renovation costs for old portfolios — this project developed a lean integrated process that can reduce renovation costs by over 30%.
The project aims for a renovation cost reduction of more than 30% through lean processes and industrialization.
Yes, the solutions are being validated across 3 large-scale demo sites in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, covering 19,100 m2 and over 600 residents.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project delivers a digital platform and a Renovation Marketplace for knowledge sharing.
By using robots for demolition and drilling, the project aims to reduce the time workers spend on hazardous activities by over 50%.
The InCUBE Suite integrates digital tools like BIM, 3D laser scanners, and drones to coordinate different renovation phases seamlessly.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 16 industrial partners (62% ratio), including 7 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 3 research entities and 7 other organizations across 7 EU countries, suggests the project is focused on market viability and practical deployment rather than theoretical research.
