I have seen 3d buildings being “printed.”
DEFINITELY the wave of the near future.
Think about it... the printers need maintenance but don’t get tired. They are a bit slow but steady and constant.
Construction as we know it may be gone in a generation, except for maintenance and expensive hand-made homes.
Made of a printable kind of concrete, is my expectation:

No reason this technique can’t be scaled to any needed level, even if it takes many days or weeks to complete a larger structure.
Considering the dinky little places the Brits line in, they could do it.
We’ll be like Swallows building our nests.

All well and good, but humanoid robots will be able to make conventional housing at a slightly higher cost at some point.
They better move up that 2025 timeline what with influx of invaders needing housing and a mailbox for their government check.
And how long will it take the yobs and lrigs to wreck them?
There is no “housing crisis”. There’s a family crisis. Yobs and their progeny don’t want to work, but want to get housed.
Next they need to print them using a compound that can be vaporized when sprayed with a certain chemical. That way, when you move out, the next guy can just vaporize the house and print a new one with a layout he likes better.
More on 3d homes.
Random observations.
Half the house on the site is porch. If they extended the outside walls the house would be twice as large.
Seems rather industrial looking. Lacks warmth. Maybe you can watch a you tube video of a fire.
Eventually there will be a price paid for eliminating craftsmen’s jobs.
The latest in grass huts.

I didn’t see any re-bar, wonder how these homes would do in an earthquake. I would think the smaller structures such as the ones shown would do OK, but as structures get longer walls or higher walls, some sort of seismic reinforcement would be needed.
Priced Concrete lately?
It takes a lot of BTU’s to make cement.
I also understand that there is a Sand shortage
(ya can’t use Desert Sand)
Just here to cheer everyone up ;^)
Some day her prints will come…
After all its England we're talking about, where the serfs have no rights, but do have "common sense gun laws" to protect the government from effective dissent
