SEE THE FUTURE
OF CONSTRUCTION.
This is what we build. Durable, beautiful, printed in days. Wimberley, Texas — an ICON partnership community.
How We Build ItWimberley, Texas — ICON Partnership
Next Layer Homes deploys advanced robotic 3D printing technology to construct durable, affordable homes at a fraction of the traditional cost and timeline.
Powered by proven ICON construction systems, every structure we build is engineered to exceed code — not just meet it.
Technology Partner
Powered by ICON construction systems — proven across hundreds of completed homes in Texas.
THE NEXT LAYER ADVANTAGE
A 2,500 sq ft structure completed in under a week. Traditional construction takes months.
Dramatic reduction in labor, material waste, and timeline costs — passed directly to homeowners.
Carbon footprint reduction using CarbonX concrete — ICON's proprietary mix. The lowest-carbon way to build at scale.
MPH wind resistance. Homes built to exceed code — not cut corners to meet it.
From design selection to move-in day — a process engineered to eliminate the delays and cost overruns of conventional construction.
Select from 60 plans in the Codex Catalog — designed by world-renowned architects, code-compliant from day one. Full customization for any site or buyer.

CARBONX MATERIAL
The lowest-carbon way to build at scale. ICON's proprietary CarbonX concrete mix reduces carbon footprint by 42% compared to conventional construction — engineered for Atlanta's climate.
A true autonomous robot. 27-foot build height. Mobile, deployable in under one hour. One operator. Multiple systems. This is the machine that prints communities.
Six reasons Next Layer Homes outperforms traditional construction — on every axis that matters.
AFFORDABLE PRICING
Wall systems at $20/sq. ft. — 40%+ below the national average. Attainable pricing for buyers and development partners.
UNMATCHED BUILD SPEED
2,500 sq. ft. home printed in under 7 days. 90–120 day full delivery from site identification to occupancy.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR
CarbonX reduces carbon footprint by 42%. Sustainable construction aligned with Atlanta's climate and ESG goals.
HIGHLY DURABLE
Withstands 200+ mph winds, 2-hour fire rating, termite and mold resistant. Lower long-term maintenance costs.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Codex Catalog delivers code-compliant designs on demand. Custom plans available. No design bottlenecks.
INVESTOR & PARTNER BENEFITS
