A 3D printed house isn’t all that different from a traditional home—except they are stronger, faster to build, easier to maintain, and cost much less than your average “stick-built” home. These 3D printed homes can be printed in as little as two days, with a crew of only two workers, using much cheaper material than traditional builders use. Does this mean that a wave of ultra-affordable homes is about to hit the market, or is this still just a futuristic theory that may never come to fruition?We’re back with this month’s BiggerNews, as we dive into the world of 3D printed houses, the future of building costs, and how the housing crisis could be quickly solved with printable and profitable homes. Zachary Mannheimer, CEO of Alquist 3D, is here to share his knowledge on how the construction industry is about to be severely disrupted. To Zachary, 3D printed homes could help millions of Americans who struggle to find housing, as well as make housing affordable for everyday workers.Zachary’s team designs and builds 3D printed homes, and while it may seem a bit far off to most investors, Zachary thinks we’re only a few short years away from a takeover in how housing is built. With massive cost savings for developers, immediately accessible parts for maintenance, and some of the strongest materials used in construction, 3D printed houses aren’t just a replacement for traditional homes, they’re a complete upgrade. In This Episode We CoverHow does 3D printing work and the new way to build residential homes The housing inventory shortage and how 3D printed houses could be the solutionHuge cost savings and how developers could build homes for far cheaper Comparing 3D printed houses to traditional homes and which will win in the long-runWhether cheaper homes could help or hurt landlords and real estate investors Creating jobs, trade schools, and technical programs around 3D printing And So Much More!Click here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-642Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
