The print time needs to be added to the printer setup time. Something that big will have non-trivial effort to get on site and set up and then tear down after the print.
If that takes six days and the print takes a day then the printed house takes half the time of traditional framing. An improvement but not a revolution.
Concrete has additional issues though with weight being significant. Soil that can support a wood framed house can't necessarily support the same size concrete house. At least not without additional compaction. That just adds to pre-construction time and permitting.
