That’s a fair point. Obviously we don’t really get earthquakes in Denmark.

The article says this uses only 30% of the concrete you’d otherwise use. Presumably prefab would use more.

In Denmark it’s usually bricks or other stone like materials or concrete. Never understood why there is this difference across the world in how houses are usually built, but wood seems a very… Temporary material for something like a house? I’ve lived in buildings from the 1910s, I can’t imagine anything made of wood lasting that long.

What do you mean switching? Think this is more about using less concrete than stopping to use it entirely. That also helps, but yea it’s a problem.

Not sure about speed but I imagine it could be pretty speedy, if for no other reason than the fact that it can run with much fewer workers and probably also running during the night. I mean even if it was half as slow as manual labour, if it ran for 24 hours, it would still be faster overall.

But another point is that it uses much less material, 70% less according to the article. I suppose that helps with costs and CO2 emissions.

How much did it cost to get all the parts?

What do all you guys use these setups for?
