3D Builders Africa, a construction company that leverages advanced technologies to automate the process of construction while reducing the cost focussing on affordable social housing units.

The partnership is part of the many relationships that the two companies have in bilateral project execution and exchange partnerships.

 “Winsun is looking forward to another fruitful relationship with 3D Builders Africa which allows us to learn from one another”, said Mr. Ma, Chairman of Winsun.

Eniola Joseph Faluyi, the President and CEO of 3D Builders Africa, commented: “We truly rely on 3D construction printing to enable us build more affordable housing.
