I bet! Could be quite the opportunity if one could scale it. I have used precast concrete system in the past. The video reminds me of an “onsite” precast where the walls are “poured” vertically rather than poured into a frame, cured, then hoisted by crane to anchor.

Interesting. This is just south of my area.

No mention at all, that I saw anyway, of how well these will stand up in hurricanes.

This all sounds very neat, but building codes are likely to stop this idea dead in its tracks.

At least in Florida.

What will become of all the Illegals living here to build present housing?

The printed houses should be hurricane proof in that the design is for concrete shell construction. Such structures are quite strong.
