Session overview

Labour shortages. Rising build costs. Net zero pressures. A housing crisis that demands faster delivery.

What if the answer isn’t just better procurement, smarter MMC, or incremental process improvement? What if buildings could be designed by AI, manufactured by robots, and assembled on site by autonomous machines?

In this eye-opening DIN session, we’ll hear from Rodion Shishkov, founder of All3 — one of Europe’s most ambitious construction technology companies.

All3 is rethinking the entire construction value chain. Its platform combines AI-driven design software, robotic manufacturing and autonomous on-site assembly robots to deliver sustainable buildings at the speed and cost efficiency of modern manufacturing. Fresh from securing £18.5m of investment and preparing for its first live developments in Europe, Rodion will share how robotics could fundamentally change the economics of delivering homes — and what this might mean for social housing providers in the UK.

Construction productivity has barely moved in decades, while housing need continues to grow and pressures on the sector intensify. All3 takes a different approach: designing, manufacturing and assembling multi-family residential buildings as a single integrated process, replacing fragmented site-based construction with a more repeatable industrial workflow. What changes is the process, not the building — with the aim of delivering the same architectural quality, design freedom and finish faster, at lower cost, and with significantly less embodied carbon than conventional construction.

This isn’t a vision for 2040. The robots are already here.

Key takeaways

In this session we’ll explore:

• Can robotics finally crack the productivity challenge in construction?
• Could AI and automation make hard-to-make-viable housing schemes stack up?
• What happens when design, manufacturing and construction become one connected digital process?
• What this approach could mean for cost, speed, carbon and delivery risk in the future of housing development
• What questions housing providers should be asking as these technologies move closer to mainstream adoption

About the speaker

Rodion Shishkov – CEO & Co-founder, All3

Rodion Shishkov is using robotics and AI to rebuild how residential construction works - from architectural design through automated manufacturing to autonomous robotic assembly on-site.

Construction's core assumptions - that buildings must be one-off projects, that customisation is expensive, that automation can't handle complexity - were rational for decades. The technology has caught up. What once required fragmented specialists and manual coordination can now be designed, manufactured, and assembled within a single integrated process.

All3 is built on that shift - delivering custom multi-family housing to developers at up to 30% lower cost and 50% faster timelines.

Before All3 Rodion founded TRA Robotics (software-driven microfactories for flexible manufacturing, acquired by Arrival) and co-founded Samokat (rapid delivery logistics, $2bn+ annual turnover). The common thread is using software and robotics to make physical operations dramatically more productive.

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for those interested in the future of housing development, innovation and asset delivery, including:

• Development and regeneration leaders
• Property and asset professionals
• Sustainability and net zero leads
• Innovation and strategy teams
• Anyone exploring how technology could reshape the way homes are built

It will be particularly relevant for those thinking about how the sector can deliver homes faster, more efficiently and more sustainably in the face of growing pressure and limited capacity.
