ARCT
What Sets Us Apart
Welcome to the future of construction—where speed, precision, and sustainability meet. At Blacklion RE Partners, we harness the power of Advanced Robotics Construction Technology (ARCT) to revolutionize
how homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects are built.
By integrating cutting-edge construction technologies of leading robotic construction innovations, we offer solutions that significantly elevates the industry standard for speed, cost-efficiency, and
sustainability—all without relying on traditional methods.
What is ARCT?
ARCT is a sophisticated construction system that automates the building process using robotic systems and proprietary materials to complete projects in a fraction of the time of traditional methods. The system excels in precision, durability, and environmental sustainability, offering a superior alternative to conventional construction practices. By leveraging proprietary automation technology, we can build structures 3X faster at unparalleled speeds and lay building materials with more accuracy than manual labor.
Key Technologies Integrated into ARCT
Precision Robotics for Layered Structural Material and Block Construction
The first facet of ARCT is Layered Robotic Construction Extrusion (LRCE) a highly advanced, robotic construction system that automates the building process. It utilizes precision-controlled robotics to place concrete structural materials with extreme accuracy, layer by layer, ensuring
that each project is built to exact specifications. This system streamlines the construction process, allowing us to build structures at three times the speed of traditional methods while maintaining the highest quality standards.
The second facet of our construction robotics Robotic Block Assembly Technology (RBAT) automates the assembly of block structures using high-precision equipment that ensures accuracy in all environments. This technology is capable of laying building blocks (e.g. cinder block, brick and other) at unprecedented speeds, reducing construction time while ensuring minimal waste and perfect alignment of materials. This system can erect the walls of a standard single-family home in as little as one day, making it ideal for large-scale residential and commercial projects.
Key Benefits of ARCT for Your Projects
ARCT TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS.
Dynamic Robotic Stabilization and Material Flexibility
The robotic arm on both systems is stabilized using real-time feedback systems that adjust to environmental factors such as wind, vibrations, and other potential interferences. This Dynamic Stabilization Technology (DST) ensures that materials are placed precisely, even in uncontrolled outdoor environments. The technology supports various materials, including traditional concrete blocks, clay, and eco-friendly, sustainable extruded materials, offering flexibility in design while maintaining high construction standards.
Advanced Building Materials and Processes
The ARCT system uses specially formulated materials that are not only stronger and more durable than conventional alternatives but also designed to work seamlessly with our robotic systems. These materials are designed to Resist Fire: Achieving a minimum of a 2-hour fire rating, but capable of 4 hours. This ensures safety in both residential and commercial applications. Withstand Extreme Weather: Proprietary building materials that can handle wind speeds of up to 175 mph, making them ideal for regions susceptible to hurricanes or storms. Resists Water Penetration and Intrusion: Engineered to be highly impermeable, our materials offer enhanced protection against water damage in flood-prone areas.
Layered Robotic Construction (LRC) is an innovative, robotic building method that constructs structures layer-by-layer using advanced cementitious materials. Part of Blacklion RE Partners’ ARCT suite, LRC allows us to build complex, custom structures rapidly and with high precision, reducing build times and enhancing structural durability.
The LRC system extrudes specialized construction materials in successive layers, creating walls and structural components directly on-site. This layer-by-layer method is guided by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models, allowing us to produce intricate architectural features with extreme accuracy and efficiency.
LRC is designed for speed and can construct a standard home’s primary structure in just a few days. For larger projects, LRC’s rapid layering capability drastically shortens build times compared to traditional methods, allowing us to complete housing, commercial projects, or mixed-use developments quickly and cost-effectively.
The LRC system is designed for high-output projects, with the capacity to complete up to 150 homes per year. This scalability makes it suitable for large developments, including residential communities and mixed-use projects.
Our LRC system uses proprietary cementitious materials that are specially formulated for enhanced durability, weather resistance, and environmental sustainability. These materials are engineered to be strong, with properties that allow them to withstand extreme heat, high winds, and water exposure. Additionally, LRC supports the use of eco-friendly additives to reduce the carbon footprint of construction.
LRC is highly sustainable and minimizes material waste. Its precision-guided application ensures that only the exact amount of material needed is used, leading to a nearly zero-waste construction process. By reducing excess and supporting the use of environmentally-friendly materials, LRC helps lower the environmental impact of construction.

LRC complements the block construction technology within the ARCT suite by providing additional options for customized, continuous-layer construction. Where block construction is ideal for modular or standardized wall construction, LRC is well-suited for projects that benefit from seamless, monolithic structures and intricate designs.
Yes, LRC technology is engineered for safe on-site application, and the materials used are non-toxic and environmentally stable. Additionally, the automated system reduces the need for heavy manual labor, creating a safer work environment and lowering the risk of construction-related injuries.
By automating the wall-building process, LRC reduces the need for a large construction crew and minimizes manual labor. This allows for a smaller, specialized team on-site, helping address labor shortages while maintaining high standards for safety and quality.
LRC operates with high-precision robotics, following CAD models to ensure each layer is placed precisely where needed. This precision technology offers a very low margin of error, typically within millimeters, ensuring that walls and structures are built to exact specifications.
Yes, LRC significantly reduces costs by shortening build times, minimizing material waste, and lowering labor needs. Its fast application and efficient material use provide cost savings for developers, investors, and homeowners alike, making high-quality construction more affordable.
Absolutely. LRC’s layer-by-layer approach is ideal for creating complex shapes, curved walls, and other architectural details. This allows for greater design flexibility and enables unique, customized construction that would be challenging or costly to achieve with traditional methods.
Our team collaborates with architects and project managers to develop detailed CAD plans tailored to the project’s specifications. Once approved, the LRC system is set up on-site, and the structure is built layer-by-layer according to the design. With precise planning, LRC can execute the project efficiently and with minimal on-site modifications.
LRC improves sustainability by precisely controlling material usage and minimizing waste. This technology reduces over-ordering, lowers excess material disposal, and supports the use of eco-friendly materials, making it a greener choice for construction. Its efficiency helps reduce the environmental footprint of each build.
How does LRC differ from other advanced construction technologies like block construction?
While both LRC and block construction fall under the ARCT umbrella, they are optimized for different types of projects. Block construction is well-suited for modular and standardized walls, using blocks assembled with precision for projects that require rapid modular builds. LRC, however, is ideal for creating seamless, monolithic structures and intricate architectural features, offering more flexibility in design and material application.
