Comment on 3D printing a house

It runs on tracks, so it might be slimmer on the ground level than the conventional construction vehicles. Sure a wheelbarrow is smaller, but I don’t think that’s a realistic option, lol.

When I’ve seen foundations for homes get poured and they haven’t been on a large construction site that’s already been flattened (where the ability to work around things like trees wouldn’t matter), it’s been done by having one or two builders fill up a wheelbarrow with concrete where the concrete mixer lorry could drive to, then wheel it to where the foundations were being poured and empty their wheelbarrows into the foundations.
