I want to to see all the utilities installed. Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical/Broadband and interior design put into place.
Why? HVAC isnt a common thing in Europe, but plumbing, electrical and misc wiring is easy. They run it in the voids between walls mid-print. Those holes with the plates put above them are the ins and outs for those services. It’s built in to the design.
BUT, it is a huge part of the cost of a finished home. It is the reason a lot of tiny homes are not really feasible as low cost housing.
I want to see someone come along a year later and decide to add or move plumbing or electrical. (Unless of course the EU passes a law prohibiting building modifications.)
stupid question... how do i Nail a picture up in a 3d printed building? will somebody have to come in and line the walls with drywall or something? isn't that another expense to think about?
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc its probabaly fast setting concrete like used elsewhere. Same as other concrete buildings but the walls are hollow with metal links
Not enough details here. We want to see how they did the floor, roof, utilities, etc and how it was finished.
That's your own homework
A buzzsaw and hot glue to put it back together after you are done.
That's for you to find out, ylthis is a simple overview
yeah, something like plumbing and electrical
@@abrorabyyu6221 a bit of the electrical, you see at 6:09 and it's mentioned, near the end, that the electrician saves a lot of time, cause he is working while the wall is in progress, so no cutting open and plaster it again...
"The weird rectangles that we build right now." Funny thing, though. All of my rectangular furniture and cabinetry fits really nicely in those rectangular spaces.
yeah that's the thing, rectangles are a god send to easily build rooms, windows and doors, to easily use all available space.
On the other hand, domes are naturally much sturdier. It would be interesting to see some ideas for rooms or walls in dome shaped buildings, maybe go with a triangular matrix?
And futuristic fiction have always told us we will be living in domes in the future, so somehow we gotta make it work!
Really though, imagine trying to fit your bed into a room with rounded walls…
It would have been nice to see the interior of a completed building.
I really hope this technology will reduce the cost of the construction.
not much
like prefabricated buildings. Faster to make but developers want more money xD
that's a lot of concrete.
so the developer can make more profit 😅 , if you think this will lower the price of house in the market , you are wrong
Prefab & standard bricks makes much more sense. Who wants wavy concrete walls and how to put water & electronics into? Temperature isolation of concrete is bad too.
Reduce costs? Lol! Can you imagine what that machine costs! The all overscaff
3 feet differences between two houses are necessary to show exterior boundary wall view.it is my favorite feature alone.
Practically it is a great idea and looks incredibly strong. Esthetically it certainly looks like a sloppy icing job on a cake. I can see the appeal for mass production but for high end homes it is the opposite of the craftmanship that most clients seek, and it needs the flexibility in finished surfaces to speak in the vernacular of the setting in which it is placed. There is still a long way to go.
Ive seen some very nice 3d printed artworks, theyre just yet to get there
you add plaster to fix the wallkss nd if your talking about cured roofing exc easy no issue their normal concrete printing
I had my house built 3 years ago using standard stick construction. Foundation took a week including leveling lot, and cure time. Rest of the house took a week, and finishing another week. Most of that was actually just dead time waiting for the work crews to become available (and the real time sink was the financing and permitting process) The entire subdivision expansion, which included 100 new homes (a rather small project), took 2-3 months during the summer. By the same set of contractors. To do the same with this technology would require a LOT of machines and honestly not a whole lot less workers. Each work crew other than the framers was like 1 guy who knew his job and 1 to 3 assistants/apprentice/random hire. This looks like it would require more expensive people with higher levels of training than the typical home builder.
I'm just not seeing this past very specific developments. The equipment is expensive and requires extensive training and higher labor costs, and you can't have as many simultaneous projects going on without huge outlays in potentially redundant equipment. Housing construction goes in boom and bust cycles in the first place, and I don't think that it can scale quickly enough for a housing boom.
I tend to agree with your assesment. For the homes your mentioned, how big are these homes and in what city? That seems very fast to have a home completed.
100 houses in less than three months? LOL then you woke up from your dream.
@@bagofchicken You do know that entire subdivisions are built in a matter of weeks once the permitting and ground work is done. It's not even a lot of people, just a couple of work crews for each step. A framing team can put up a 2500 square foot house in a day. 60-80 man hour jobs aren't uncommon, especially with all the prefab components. I've wired with 2 other people an entire house in a day, and plumbed it with them the next. The gas was more of a pain because they had a gas fireplace, and a patio gas firepit that were both far away from the kitchen and furnace room.
@@riumudamc4686 The homes are between 1600 and 3400 square feet and the city is a typical Midwestern small city that is a short drive from a major metropolitan area.
Like I said, once the land is plotted and roads/utilities ran, homes go up super fast.
@@joseph1150 With skilled and experienced builders and simple designs things do happen quickly
I love the two story home in Germany..This reminds me of some of the smaller Retro hotels Miami Beach of the 1940's and 50's..
I'm curious to know more about the rest of the construction process, from installing plumbing, electrical, fixtures, HVAC, and roofing. What are some of the differences contractors experience with this kind of home, over something like a brick or concrete construction?
Search for the Video: Move in Ready 3D Printed House in Germany
This is so fascinating… That first one with the rounded edges is what I love most about it, you can design a home in almost any shape you want it and not be stuck with the traditional square shaped walls of a traditional house!
Going to waste quite a bit of space w the angled furniture you already have.
You aren't stuck with a square shape with other traditional building materials lol... Wood or cemete, brick could all be done in circular shapes etc instead. Heck look at old wooden ships they are very rounded everywhere yet it's entirely wood interior...
Look at castles which have been around forever.... Cylinder sections all over made of brick that are massive
You can easily round edges like that with wood you just need a device that steam heats the wood as it's being bent.
I would only use this for nontraditional concrete formwork (permanent) for a property, I would still use reinforced concrete pours in tandem with this. Monolithic pours are still far structurally stronger.
What about costs associated with this for buyers? That should've been mentioned.
The smaller house is about 7k euros I think. Very cheap.
@@julianm.672 if its really only 7k than that’s extremely cheap. Houses in Germany usually costs from €150k to well over a million euro for that amount of space. But the area could be a bit cheaper because it’s more rural
@@yumnax Im pretty sure thats just the raw bulding, not the plot of land+building+installations.
You can maybe buy a parking spot for 7k, but even thats pushing it.
They should print the Berlin Airport. Seems like it will be faster.
Actually the BER already opened a few weeks ago.
@@amboss5072 Finally! I still remember in 2012, one of my friends told me that you will arrive at the brand new airport next time lol
@@amboss5072 Hahahaha, already...thats a good one. 🤣🤣🤣
@@balticdubai950 true
I don't think it can be understated HOW big of a step it is to get the german building certification😂
Round corners always makes a place feel mlre cosy and comfy for some reason
What about the insane amount of empty homes repossessed by banks? Do we really need to build more or fix the issues at hand?
This is amazing - I would think the next challenge would be smooth textures.
Good luck with that, its not going to happen without a human.
With the crazy cost of lumber going waaay up...some might start to really look at this option.
Are these kind of buildings also earthquake resistant ??
In general, concrete is EQ resistant - it can soak a lot of energy due to cracking (while remaining relatively stable).
Of course, you need rebar to take tensile stresses (which I assume are the small stirrups they put to couple the walls).
For houses of this size, EQ really isn't a major concern when considering the huge amount of structural material here.
This cannot be used right now to erect a very tall building.
Hope this helps.
As a tropical area resident i can see them being awesome for Cyclones. Strong, concrete all throughout.
Never get earthquakes here, not my problem :P
@@mikeyronen2952 thank you! Yea I thought the same but when you live in a high risk area with superficial events (like where I live) I can assure you that concrete structure (bar reinforced) with ground and first floor is not enough at all!
Bring this to the USA. Rent rates and price for properties are insane. We need stuff like this to make properties cheaper.
It needs to print foam into the walls for insulation, and to address the over hang issue. They can just print foam under the overhangs which can be removed afterward.
Then it needs a fiberglass extruder to lay reinforcement into the wall as it's built. Both embedded in the concrete, and across the gap between the walls. Also loops could be made to reinforce layers vertically.
When those are added it may really compete.
It needs none of those things. Cavity wall. Insulation is poured in between. No need for rebar as it's cavity wall, just wall ties and a few lintels.
@@martinw245 You can do pour in place foam, sure. Part of the point though was to use it to be able to print large overhangs which cannot be done as things are now. The foam can be used as support material.
Whether you need reinforcement depends on where you live. I live in an earthquake prone area and don't need my house collapsing. If you are putting it in the Netherlands, sure leave it out.
@@court2379 Actually an entire community of 3D printed houses is being built in Mexico, in an earthquake zone.
@@martinw245 The country that has no building codes or safety requirements, that is exactly why they are doing it there.
We used to do 3D printing of houses back in the day...from the foundation up...by hand...with bricks and mortar. It was called construction.
Right we just want to get rid of the worst, most unreliable and error prone part of that process -- the humans.
@@GoatZilla No offense intended, the technology is impressive. But...you've obviously never seen a Master bricklayer / Mason at work. Their walls are straight, and don't have ripples in them.
@@maddogfargo3153 Unless the master bricklayer happened to be smoking crack that day, or decided to subcontract your job out because he overextended himself.
@@GoatZilla In our area that's not an issue. And we've been growing at a better than average rate compared to the rest of the country.
@@maddogfargo3153 So what percentage of the country lives in your area?
Governments really needs to use this to build more social housing and address homelessness/poor housing! Would love to see more tests on how durable the material is though
It's awesome and exciting! However, I'm prepared that the cost savings will be pocketed, and not passed on to consumers.
Looks beautiful.
The first thing I thought of is how many construction workers this essentially makes redundant :( Technology is a blessing and a curse.
I could watch this process all day! Fascinating stuff!
Will also be a use for various types of waste plastics, which can be processed and blended into the concrete, increasing it's strength and cleaning up the environment around us, at the same time.
I want my house to be a 3-D Printed home. Bring this machine to the United States of America.
There already doing it in Long Island, NY.
We are printing a single family house in the coming month in Richmond, Virginia.
Im exited for 3D printed homes and how it can help this shortage of homes, also making them cheaper and efficient.
It will be for free in future as old financial system is about to collapse. Advanced technologies that already exist to create anything out of ether which is everywhere just like air. Food, car, house.
@@evgeniam685 That's not how logistics work.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj what does it do with logistics. I am talking about technologies itself.
@@evgeniam685 Technologies depend on the logistics of an economy. For example, you may have the tool to make what you want such as a 3D printer, but you still have to buy the material. To make the material you will need a massively wider array of equipment even if we assume in the future a program can do that work for you. This is the economy of scale which is why thinking this eliminates our financial system is a gross misunderstanding of this technology.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj I don't think you understood what I was saying. These replicators can create anything out of ether which exists everywhere. It is like air which is everywhere but you can't see. And because it's everywhere its free like air. Everything is made of atoms, molecules, particles. They are foundation of everything. This ether was removed from periodic table of elements for bad reasons, for control of people (keeping people busy at work, instead of progression, using up resources of earth, environmental damage) Money equal control. Having technologies like this, people don't need to work all their live for house, credits, cars. Basically working for getting objects, when simply you can create them yourself. Free energy same. No bills. Economy system gonna collapse anyway.
and yet housing will be more expensive, more costly, when its meant to be cost saving and more environmentally friendly...
Houses for everyone!!
While at it calculate flooding, earthquakes and tornadoes into the build to make them more sturdy. Or at least escapable.
The title should have read: Discussing - Why This 3D-Printed House Will Change The World.
Can't wait to stringing in concrete printing 🤣. This company did some presentation houses in my country.
The concept itself sounds exciting... But bricks, blocks feel safe and strong..
Thank you
So, does the 3D printer get the carton of beer if there's one on offer?.
Wait, can you later remove the interior partitions, you know for a remodel?
Concrete. So just like brick and concrete houses built around the world its more work but not an issue. It also depends how its desighned. No doubt they will have non structural walls, stud partitions too.
We print homes fast! But we need three to five weeks to bring and setup the printer at the building site! :-)
It's still prototype that can be improved
*This is GECK!*
Why are the walls so thick? How does the electrician and plumber get in there?
I like it but the drawback of those irregular horizontal poopee lines is a bit off-putting. What do they use for the printing medium? Today there was a story about a 3 printed house for sale in Long Island, New York for $300K, and it looked OK.
Perhaps one day they'll show us a finished 3D printed house with people living in it......Need more than some visualisations and a couple of Zoom talking heads.
This will save some old growth trees hopefully.
Once concrete starts to deteriorate, its a hard fix when its 200 feet in the air and the chance of seeing it or finding it is pretty slim, concrete crumbles and sucking in moisture doesn't help it.
This type of building will become the norm. Just wait and see that lumber will become a luxury material.
So bye-bye construction sites and construction workers? What about interior systems such as electrical and plumbing ?
I’m wandering what pump technology they are using to pump concrete with sand?
Can you build 3D printing hospital with 3 levels using soil?
Everybody gangsta till the house melts.
instead on cement could they incorporate waste plastic. heat the product up, solidifies as it cools. solves two problems.
I only see the wall structure part becomes more efficient. All other parts, like foundation, roof truss, plumbing, electrical are not. I don't think this method will be more cheaper than transitional stick house in USA.
I'm Very Interested in this. As a Retired HP Engineer, I would like to Promote/sell this in Nashville, TN. I'd live in one, if it can have Solar panels integrated in them.
Why can't a private company sell 3D properties to consumers? I would love to purchase one! How can I do that?
Let's do it in Hempcrete and change the way we build forever. Add Solar & free energy options with Tesla type companies& we are good to go. I think take down all the old structures accept for Historical restoration home projects & build our new Society from the grassroots up in our new cutting edge Society we would trend as the pioneers of our modern new clean energy era. Start the projects in Silicone Valley& the North Bay& will trend hot from there! Great work 🙏✨ truly this is genuis and more genuis with hempcrete. The farmers will be able to farm hemp and switch up there farming practices world wide. We can put trade schooling in public schools to learn as elective occupational options for High School students of interest, we can do Solar installation & green renewable hemp plastics in all new building manufacturing aswell for the complete green home package.
As innovative and cost-saving as all this may well be.. this is just another force putting millions of people out of work for "progress & efficiency" .. In the same way that automatic tellers have taken away jobs from supermarkets, autonomous trucks will result in the loss of an estimated 5 million jobs just in the US alone. In many places construction is a huge employer. When you replace a building team with a 3D printer, then even if you still need trades like electricians & plumbers etc, you hardly need form-workers & carpenters. Not too sure about the exact stats for Melbourne but Melbourne's construction boom is huge. For Australia as a whole, 9% of all jobs, 1.5 million people, are employed in construction, not including suppliers. In an increasingly automated world, where miners are being replaced by robots, manufacturing has been moved offshore & what remains is being cut in half and replaced by robots. Then when 2 thirds of labour-related jobs have been replaced by automation, then without a liveable universal basic income, what do the people do that have been automated out of a job?
Without a certain number of working-class people with money to spend in the economy, the wider economy will break down. This is what the libertarian force of disruptive big tech forgets about. Gig work itself will become automated. Most IT systems will become run by machine learning algorithms.. This is what Big Tech is totally ignoring in the march for ever-growing efficiency & innovation. If people can't find jobs because 2 thirds of all jobs have been automated, then unless there's a fair & liveable universal basic income, then the end result is social chaos. In a ca[pitaist system where people need jobs and money to survive, then how are people to survive when 2 thirds of all jobs have been automated? With innovations such as 3D printing potentially replacing most construction workers, this is the question that needs to be asked & planned for.
Not against innovation & technology, i am a big supporter of blockchain & i can totally see how technology can benefit many sectors. But as disruptive technology has already replaced so many secure jobs, & the global retail model, in particular, has been funneled into amazon, with no thought as to the effects on the wider retail economy & retail jobs. Then when contemplating automation of the construction sector, then all the potential ramifications have to be looked into and planned for..
How strong these houses are ??
Went to Houston to see this in person, it’s really cool to see but, after my million questions , I realized it will not save you any money vs build a stick frame. This is only for walls. So I will say it would be a sturdy home, but I’d rather go with cinderblocks in that case.
This is amazing.
this doesn't look sustainable..

There is no plastic, it's perlite.
@@julianreverse thank's for the correction
Looks like a nice hope for future construction, but is it entirely made from concrete? thats what it looks like, once its complete, do they fill in those wobbly walls with plaster to smooth it off? and if it is concrete, wouldnt it be freezing cold to live in all the time ?
Nice concepts. But what about seismic loads? Or about MCEr?
well if the walls gonna look like crepe cake most people will pass
There goes a ton of job loss, I think eventually, half of every country’s population will be homeless.
So by that logic, more homes, less people in homes
@@sirparker2881 In America we already have that same situation
no truth is you can't find people to do construction type work or people that have the knowledge of how to do it. and if you can find anyone they want to be paid like a brain surgeon.
Two questions. Do these structures meet earthquake resistant standards and perhaps more importantly, the world is running out of suitable sand for concrete. We cannot be making all new structures out of it. Are there substitute materials?
put a dome over the whole development and the individual houses can be made really cheap. all environ sys shared. bucky had it right. wonder when people will go back to his ideas.
Well there is no problem with fast construction of walls, there are a lot of options for that, well walls is a quite cheap component of your homes. Base, tubes, electricity and all the finishing work are most effective and time consuming works. And I can't see how 3d printed house will help with that.
Not sure how people are going to pay for these houses if there is no one working and paying income taxes
Next, trowel the surface smooth, so they don't look so ugly.

@@-HolySpiritDove- Did you count the suicides and depression that not having the possibility to work on something will get on some people?
TLDR; Construction workers have nothing to worry about, their jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.
The builders won't be displaced, you can see all the 3D printed houses i've toured on my channel include tons of features done by hand. The majority of trades cannot be automated at this point including Electric, Plumbing, Finishes, Roofing, Windows... the list goes on. The manual labor force is dwindling even through 2020 so if we don't have a long term solution to get construction work done with less people housing will become increasingly expensive. By some metrics America alone has a housing shortage of 3 million homes. There will always be a need for skilled laborers. Think of how the car company Bentley charges double for the handmade version of their cars. We don't live in a utopia where one construction method will dominate the entire industry.
Electrician: "I'll be saving 12 days here"
Q: Will the savings be passed on to the consumer?
Yes. Approx 30 percent cheaper
Duh!
Not the end consumer. This is pure profit for the real estate developers. In depopulating rural areas this is a good development for the end consumer though. This technology is also great for building more sustainable fencing and garden sheds. Wood has to be replaced like every 10 years. This isn't the case for cement. What also could be an interesting application is using this technology in existing real estate. People want to change walls indoors and this technology is excellent for it. It can be done with those thin American walls, but also with changing bearing walls.
When there is competition, savings are always passed to the consumer.
How can you save 12 days? There's not even 12 days work for an elektrician in a normal home.
"Addressing labor shortages". More like avoiding labor costs!
Fr lmao
Here in germany labor shortage is a real problem because right now craftsmen are really rare compared to the number of jobs to do. When a client gets an appointment at all, then he better prays that they come indeed and not switch to another more attractive construction site...
Actually, the price of crafting labor is high precisely because of labor shortages. Regulation also plays a big role tho.
Construction costs in Germany exploded in the last couple of years because of labor shortages.
Few young people want to start vocational training in these jobs. Yes more pay can help to reduce the labor shortages - but not in the amount it needs to change.
In the USA, skilled labor is expensive and the cost goes nowhere but up. Construction firms have had a hard time finding enough new unskilled workers to train up that can also pass substance (drugs, alcohol) screens.
I'd like to see how these structures stand the test of time considering it's mostly just extruded cement with no rebar. What happens when the ground settles or with freeze and thaw cycles.
I was under the assumption they drop rebar in as it was printing. If not, then yes this is a recipe for failure.

Talk about the cost of Setting up all the Equipment Like the Tower Crane, and all the other cost like the Covering The Job Site.
A crane and 48 hours to set up (and assuming site requires no work to accommodate the 'printer'), a crane and a day(?) to pack-up, plus construction time...it's hard to believe that this can compete with pre-cast concrete. Especially considering the latter can be pre-finished and/or requires much less work to finish.
I was wondering the same thing. Moving a factory from building site to building site plus all the fabrication materials and covering the whole site. Why not simply move pre-manufactured components and assemble them on site. A factory that can build custom components that is situated near a developing area seems like it would be more effective and efficient.

Probably better than wood. No drafts
It's a concrete wall. There is no difference to traditional building, except it's printed instead of poured. Sound proofing and insulation are entirely seperate issues ;)
There's no reason you have to leave it as concrete walls, you can add any type of sound or thermal barriers you want inside, depending on your climate. You just have to leave a few inches of spacing in the plans.
just by the looks, the walls are hollow and filled with insulation material 2:40
It would be great if they can build these on the Moon and Mars. But who would install the rig, electricals, plumbing, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)? And all non 3D printed furniture? Painting the the interior and exteriors as requested by the designers. Electronics, computers, communications, any aesthetic designs? Exterior plug-ins for any electric vehicles?
And in 5 years when I want to install a new electrical outlet, or install a new bathroom.....then what?
chisel
Drills. We mostly have solid walls of brick or concrete in Brazil and make all kinds of changes all the time
There is no clear distinction of load bearing and dividing walls. This might be optimal for material cost and structural optimisation but might prove bad when one wants to modify it.
@@jakadirnbek7141 I'm sure it's considered in the design phase
@Bon Scott You can't design in a spontaneous change 5 years later!
Now try getting a building permit in California.
California actually already has a few 3D printed houses built by mighty buildings
@@automateconstruction But were they built to Calif's earthquake codes? Were the permits to build residential structures? I'm calling BS.
The Might Building units of 350 sq ft cost $180,000. That’s not reasonable imo at the moment. 3D printed ferrari super houses.
Hype for Calif: www.cnet.com/news/houses-3d-printed-in-just-24-hours-now-shipping-in-california/
@@KaiseruSoze The mighty buildings project doesn't structurally rely on the printed concrete. It is permitted residentially and to cali quake code.
Show plumbing and electric done .
Finished house, time and cost.
@TEC UA-cam The time can be reduced with further development. And the house is not yet finished. Earthquakes are no big deal here in Germany so no problem.
And the factor everyone ignore the price of The land to build it on ..
Watched another video on a 3-D house built and certified in New York, that was in April 2021, and that house the Builder produced a 2000 square-foot house I believe and saved $100,000 in costs. That’s just one example and that is a big deal.
Can't wait till we have 3D printed skyscrapers!
YESS!!!!

Unreinforced concrete? I guess they don’t have earthquakes in Germany.
yes we don't have earthquakes for the most part. and even there where they do exist they are very rare
@@amboss5072 most earthquakes are also really weak here. They maybe shake you up a bit for 10s every few decades.
@@wavyy true
Fiber reinforcing in the concrete?
They can use a unique blend in the concrete and there are machines which actually lay a wire / line, or more than one, within. ie: Reinforced. The metal supports they are adding will also help when everything is cured.
The title should be changed to "Two guys and a zoom meeting".
Yeah, the only thing they forgot was the German certified house :-(
Two questions I have:
1 - Are the walls ever sanded down so they're flat?
2 - What about renovations? Can you knock down a wall?
Another question is how do you insulate it?
@@MarkusGlesnes From other videos from other companies - it seems they use expanding foam in the wall cavities.
1 for the houses in the video no. You would most likely just put a filler material there after hardening.
2 same as with all other houses, it depends on the wall you want to break down.
This video is a bit salesmen-like. Would be worth seeing a video of a fully occupied home a year after construction. Machine set up, and knowing if the machinary needs a particular climate to function in would be useful. Extensive secuirty to protect the equipment, temporary scaffolding and temporary roof costs...all that for a house in this vid & manual work at the mo is a poor bloke running around the site putting in wall ties, weeps and lintels.
Ms. Jeffrey: I have seen a finished house like this in New York, and it was left rough on the outside and painted, and looked really nice, and a similar one elsewhere was left rough on the inside and painted and looked quite nice.
As for renovations, this isn’t so easy to do with conventional construction, even with wood walls, and let me tell you I’ve done it uncountable times.
If you notice in this video the walls are hollow on the inside, so a double wall structure, and walls can be knocked out, or better said, cut out, with masonry cutting sauce. Again it’s not so easy, but neither is the situation as it stands now.
5:28 You have to give credit here, so many apparently revolutionnary inventions are reduced to being demos having a one-time appearance in a magazine to never be mentionned again afterwards. They REALLY want to have these innovations to be applied in the real world and transition into a new century, to not be simple demos. Big respect.

Reminds me of my morning dump
Yeah, it's kinda like the Dairy Queen house.
Having owned and updated several older homes, I wonder what a printed home might be like when it is old and the services have all evolved and changed. Also, it looks like it won't be easy for subsequent homeowners to make structural changes to suit their needs.
basically impossible. these houses are AS IS and cant be modified after...even small stuff.
Then houses are set to become more quickly replaced, just like artifacts such as cars and phones have become more transient.
i think they know that so i feel like you would be able to design your own house ya know like an entire house to suit your needs so you wont need to do anything later
Very interesting point
Right, and what about change orders in the middle of the build? It seems like that would be very expensive.

In the 48 hrs. it takes to set this up a good crew can have a house framed with wood. Wood is renewable while concrete making adds CO2 to the environment.
In Germany, very little houses are made of wood. They also don't get destroyed by storms. I still wonder, why people in the US keep building wooden houses in hurricane areas.

What’s the shear strength of those walls? Do they need rebar or is the stand alone strong enough?
