Laycon
The 3D Concrete Printing Method Built for Regulated Markets.
From Traditional Construction to Industrial Execution.
Kap-Group is an Israeli construction company led by Yohanan Kapelnikov, a civil engineering technologist with hands-on industry experience.
From the ground up, we know the real bottlenecks of construction: labor shortages, rising costs, and unpredictable timelines.
Those challenges led to the creation of Laycon.
Proven Technology. Structured Local Implementation.
Kap-Group is bringing Laycon to Israel, combining globally proven 3D concrete printing technology with local construction expertise and a regulatory approval path.
The goal: faster structural build times, reduced reliance on construction crews, and lower overall costs.
Key elements of the system:
• Layer-by-layer structural concrete printing.
• A concrete mix adapted to Israeli standards, climate, and locally available aggregates.
• Structurally engineered planning and design.
• Seamless integration into standard construction workflows.

Who Laycon Works With
Investors
A proprietary 3DCP method on a formal Israeli regulatory approval path, in a market under a structural labor shortage of more than 40,000 workers and ongoing cost pressure. Built to be invested in and scaled.
Equipment & Technology Partners
Our method is equipment-agnostic by design, a layer above the printing hardware. We collaborate with equipment and technology manufacturers to bring 3DCP to the Israeli market. New partnerships and new ideas are welcome.
Licensing & Strategic Partners
A documented, standards-aligned method (ISO/ASTM 52939) on a real regulatory path. We welcome strategic and licensing partnerships.

Why the Method Holds Up, Operationally and Commercially
Faster Structural Completion
Laycon reduces the concrete structural shell phase by up to 80%.
Earlier structural completion allows faster continuation of trades and earlier delivery.
Reduced Labor Dependency
Automated concrete printing minimizes on-site crews by 75%.
This reduces exposure to workforce shortages and scheduling delays.
Cost Control
3D-printed structures can be 33% or more lower in structural construction costs than traditional site-built homes. 3D printing resembles factory production and increases efficiency in the building process.
Cost Predictability
Industrial execution creates measurable output and clearer cost forecasting.
Less variability. Fewer surprises during the structural phase.
Consistent Structural Quality
Layer-by-layer automated placement improves dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
Reduced human error leads to more controlled structural execution.
Lower Environmental Impact
3D printing produces less waste compared to traditional construction methods. Using lean manufacturing, pre-cut materials, and smoother material flow all help reduce waste during building.
Architectural Innovation
Printed structures provide significant design flexibility and a wide range of layout options, allowing the creation of bespoke structures tailored to specific needs.
Proven Globally. On a Regulatory Path Locally.
3D concrete printing has been successfully implemented around the world for nearly a decade.
Laycon, led by Kap-Group, adapts globally proven 3D concrete printing to Israeli construction standards. The method is on a formal Israeli regulatory approval path, with method, quality control and structural approach documented and aligned to ISO/ASTM 52939.
About Us
Laycon is the 3D concrete printing method behind Israel’s automated construction, developed and built by Kap Group, an operating construction company, and now on a formal regulatory approval path.
