About Us
Our team has invested in real estate since 1977. Through the years, we have handled every job in the real estate industry including flipping, rehabbing, new construction and minor construction.
We currently own and manage well over 100 rental properties and have a team of construction professionals that assist in the maintenance and management of all things construction.
Additionally, we have a substantial number of resources in the construction industry to assist in completion of a project once the structure has been printed.
Our Projects
My Robot Builds is a company on the ground floor of the newest burgeoning technology in safe, sturdy, and affordable housing. Imagine 3D printing an entire home in less than 24 hours! That’s exactly what we at My Robot Builds are able to provide for you. A structure uniquely able to withstand fires, tornados, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, and yet is still an economical and ecologically sound building choice.
3d Printing is truly the future of homebuilding, and we here at My Robot Builds are excited to usher you in this future! As we begin to ramp up our production, our focus will be in the areas below. Our FAQs and Contact Us pages are designed to move you quickly through our company to exactly the right person, or, next steps.

Future homeowners who would like to build on their land
Consulting and/or training to understand 3D concrete printing/robotics and/or actual construction techniques

Non-profit organizations
Academics/Careers

Homebuilders, lot developers or rental community developers
We are excited about the cooperative initiative we have with www.Permabuilders.com and are actively considering other projects. We could build retail centers, storage facilities, standalone hotel rooms, etc. We will need to know how many houses per year you are currently building, whether you are building spec or custom homes, what square footage home you prefer to build, etc.
Future homeowners who would like to build on their land
If you would like to consider building a concrete home on your land, we would be excited to consider your project. As mentioned in the Homebuilders section, we are working with Permabuilders.com. We are focusing only in the greater DFW area and you’ll need to own your land free-and-clear. We’ll need to decide if our company will be the general contractor or if you have picked one already. If you are expecting vast savings, 3D printed homes may be competitive but not to the extent of some of the myths you may have heard on the internet. Our FAQ section and Contact Us page should lead you through the items needed for consideration.
Consulting and/or training to understand 3D concrete printing/robotics and/or actual construction techniques
Many companies are intrigued with the 3D printing/robotics process, but unlike so many others, we don’t just have hypothetical theories, we have built actual homes. Located an hour east of Dallas, our homes are built with engineered foundations, 3D printed walls, traditional roofs, and other typical amenities. Our current homes are 1225 sf, 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes, and our consultations will include various specifics relative to 3D printing, as well as scheduling you for a live print. Reach out today through the Contact Us tab to learn what training resources we offer.
Government entities needing alternatives to typical housing solutions
Rising homelessness is an issue facing every level of government in our country today. My Robot Builds
is anxious to meet the growing need for affordable, safe, small housing units. 3D Printed units can be
built quickly and economically, and they are virtually indestructible. Click on the Contact Us tab to
connect with our printing specialists to see how your agency can help societies’ most vulnerable.
Non-profit organizations
Interestingly, many of the first homes that have been 3D printed have been for non-profit organizations. When you have a mission to accomplish and every dollar counts, finding the most affordable and yet the most durable and long lasting solution is key. Many non-profit groups have found 3D Printing to be the exact answer to their building dilemmas. When you reach out via the Contact Us tab, our specialists will be able to create the structures of your dreams, while remaining fiscally responsible
Academics/Careers
Universities and colleges are beginning to recognize that automation has lagged within the construction industry over the past decades. With this technology, there are challenges in the material sciences area, electromechanical sciences, structural engineering, architectural and design opportunities, etc. We are currently seeking interns, graduates within all these disciplines.
We are actively seeking assistance in the following disciplines:
Structural engineering
Electomechanical/software engineering
Investors
We have been completely self-funded and are not actively seeking investors other than friends or family
Whatever your reason for considering My Robot Builds, we are eager to coordinate with you and meet your needs! As labor costs, lumber, and other conventional building materials continue to soar in price, it only makes sense to research the latest in affordable technology. Please reach out via our Contact Us tab, so we can better understand the unique projects you have. We can’t wait to make 3D Printing work for you!
