How long does it take to build a 3D-printed house?

Alquist used a massive 3D printer to create the structure of the home out of concrete, rather than wood and other traditional materials. The process took just 28 hours — the typical Habitat for Humanity house takes at least four weeks to construct — and it cut building costs by 15% per square foot.

I have a fren, he is an engineer, that built their entire house in TN out of concrete! The entire thing floors walls all of it. Sold it when they divorced recently.
About 4k sq ft. and it was amazing!
There are also so personal taste decorating differences for instance ya cant just put a pic on the wall with a tiny nail or screw.
Point being the best ppl to confer with might be ones that have lived in one.
Of course over the years concrete also has some issues and the concrete must be the precise consistency to work out without early yrs cracking.
Is there a particular type or consistency that is more hurricane proof?
Nana thinks the 3d printing of homes is awesome.
We are going to only be limited by our own imaginations soon I hope.

We need to figure out hiw the romans made their concrete. Their's gets stronger over time. Total game changer

The Roman created Concrete with Volcanic Ashe - Pozzolana
And the ash allowed them to create concrete piers on water, etc; it's one reason why so much stands today

They would occasionally add (small) clay jugs to help displace the concrete to create domes link in the Pantheon

But the concrete wasn't earthquake proof, or allowed some give
till the Byzantines added Lime to the concrete during or before Theodosius II

Oh! Thanks. That is all the information that I didn't remember. So it seems like it would be good over here in Florida and the Bahamas where we have to deal with hurricanes, but earthquakes are virtually nonexistent. 🙂

I live in the Florida Panhandle. My house was a direct hit by Hurricane Michael (160 mph) at landfall. My home is 3 blocks from the bay where Michael hit. It is a small brick cottage, but the house withstood Michael, the only damage was the pine tree that fell on the roof . It was built in the late '50s. I was getting ready to do some renovations, opening the wall, I find that there is plaster poured into screened mesh (similar to concrete) on the interior walls. This little house did not move an inch.

That's fantastic!
Down here in cental Florida they dont use brick like they do up there. Only some of the older homes. But when we built our house we paid extra to have our concrete block walls filled in once they were stacked. We're hoping that they are as sturdy as your house Lol

I should add that we have had a few hurricanes go directly over us too, and so far we haven't had any problems! 🙂🙏🏼

My RE agent wanted to sell me a brand new build. I would not consider a 'stick" house - not after a 60 year old house withstood HM, and everything else was blown down. I would rather renovate than have walls crumble around me.
