Actually, I think this may be a real time-saver for quick builds where you need an extra building like a garage or extra storage space.
As others have pointed out there are some flaws in the wall in that article and it might not be optimal for housing, but for quick and dirty jobs it will most likely do fine. Construction as a service! :)
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoThe timber frame itself and the exterior cladding for a traditional garage is extremely easy to build. Two relatively untrained guys with a stack of planks, a mitre saw and a nail gun can build that even quicker than this robot. The expensive and time consuming parts are the foundation work and the roof, which this doesn't address at all.
- nonce725 8y agoI spent some time project managing a company that did exterior cladding, and I'll avoid wood like the plague for the rest of my life. Concrete has the huge advantage of not growing mould if you screw up building envelope. At least, that's my justification for simply liking the aesthetics of masonry over wood construction.
