Houses are expensive to build due to environmental regulations.
Please consider the planet before complaining.

What would really put this over the top is if the unit typology could be pre-approved by relevant planning bodies and local councils, so they could fast-track or even forego the planning process. Because as much as construction time is shortened, the biggest time component of delivering housing here is the planning process.

Id like to see a good documentary about these things. What I’ve heard from an engineer who was involved in this kind of construction in Poland is that there are huge problems with the builds since the residents moved in.
He says there is a reason you just hear how great and fast it is to 3d print houses, but you hear nothing else.
Would love to see a project being followed and then visits to the houses after say a year and 2 years.
They are probably much like the precast buildings slapped up years ago that are all a total disaster now.

Very skeptics about this. Even if it’s true the end result isn’t great. If we actually want to fix the housing crisis and stop the endless sprawl we need to build apartments and we figured out how to build pre fab blocks cheaply and quickly 60 years ago. 3d printing just feels like a distraction

Article from the printer maker is here. [https://cobod.com/3d-printed-social-housing-project-compliant-with-new-standards/](https://cobod.com/3d-printed-social-housing-project-compliant-with-new-standards/)
Lots of ways of building housing cheaper. The Irish government doesn’t want anything to do with any of them.
Nice.
Just wondering how many times the claims from developers turn out not to be true ..not to mention much shorter lifespans and less durable
