UK’s First Bricklaying Robot Arrives – Can ‘Walter’ Solve the Construction Crisis?
A groundbreaking moment for UK construction has arrived – quite literally – with the debut of Walter, a wall-laying robot now hard at work in Durham.
Developed in the Czech Republic and brought over by JT Lifestyle Homes, Walter – or WLTR – is designed to build smarter, faster, safer, and greener. He can lay up to 200 square metres of bricks a day and construct walls up to 3.5 metres high without scaffolding. Rain, wind, or shine – Walter keeps going.
With over 35,000 vacancies in the construction industry and an ageing workforce, it’s clear we need new solutions. Walter doesn’t replace people – he supports them, creating opportunities for skilled operators and improving overall build quality with precision bricklaying.
This cutting-edge robot is currently building 27 homes in Durham, with more projects to follow. JT Lifestyle Homes is combining innovation with accessibility, offering these houses under a rent-to-buy scheme to help first-time buyers take that crucial step.
