    Is a cool trick eh? A mud hut built by a robot is still a mud hut, though.

    And even more sophisticated machines and materials will run smack bang into a whole raft of building standards compliance issues.

    Tis a cool trick.

    With the cheaper building cost, will that really matter?

    I remember years and years ago seeing a expanded foam house being spayed over a chicken wire like structure it only took hours.

    Only thing is Aucking house prices are nothing to do with the houses and everything to do with the land price.

    Well, yeah, without building consent it won't get built.

    The whole thing about building standards being for consumer protection is bullshit, they're to protect dominant industry suppliers.

    I've seen them doing that with concrete too. Also seen them doing the concrete thing over a balloon. Cool stuff.

    Aye, they're not making any more of the stuff so it's bound to go up in price.

    Bulldoze all those hills into the Harbour, one tree hill for a start. Two birds one stone. It will also shorten the comute as well.

    I meant that the consent (and associated) fees should be more affordable given the cheaper building costs of the printed hoose.

    I'm sure there's a lot of truth in that, however I'd be pretty pissed if my house fell down because there was noone signing it off as habitable.

    Do i need to Email John Key or just assume he's read the forum anyway?

    looks like they have done it in the past whats 400 acres in Aucland worth a 100 billion dollars.
    Auckland’s port on the Waitematā was vital to the progress of the city and region. The first of a series of land reclamations to expand the port area began in 1859. By 1900, 132 acres (53 hectares) of land had been reclaimed from the harbour. By 1955 the total had reached 390 acres (157 hectares
