3D Print a house?
I read an article about how different our homes could be in 50 years - one of the key changes will be how they're built, with innovations needed to speed up build time and deliver much-needed housing on a HUGE scale.
Apis Cor, an American firm, claims to be able to 3D print a house that can be built in under three days and for around £12,000 - something that is hugely attractive when the number of new homes being built in England has consistently failed to keep pace with demand.
Prefab housing might have had a bad reputation, but modular homes that can be transported easily in small parts, wired up and even plastered off site and then put together quickly also have huge potential, according to experts. You'e probably seen some travelling the motorways recently!
Anyway, its something to watch out for! Plot of land at £30k , £12k for a 3D print, connections and costs...hmmm.
