This has a lot of potential.
Not sure why it is not getting more coverage?

A startup invented this $10,000 house that can be built in one day

When you do it yourself, building a tiny house of about 400 square feet typically takes a couple of months, depending on the design, and tens of thousands of dollars in materials.

A San Francisco-based housing startup called Apis Cor says it can do the job much faster and for a lower price. It recently built its first home near Moscow in just one day with $10,134 worth of materials.

The secret? A 3D-printing robot.

Working with the Russian home-building company PIK Group, Apis Cor constructed the house at its test facility in Stupino, south of Moscow.

Apis Cor first programmed the 3D printer to construct a rounded house. The machine applied cement in layers to form the shape of the house.

Well, maybe there is a reason.
No unions??

Jayson here and I remember seeing an article that had a similar idea, but used drones instead. Here is a link.

While dealing with unions is definitely an issue, permits are also another issue as I have seen many construction projects pushed back months due to the time it takes for permits to be issued.

Prototype construction does not need a permit.

AND in most localities, fast-tracking new building industry products is a given.

The application of this type of construction is enormous.

disaster relief << Haiti could use a bunch of these,, hint HRC & Bill??
