Are surveyors going to be working with 3D-printed homes sooner than you might expect? This futuristic technology could have a “transformative impact” on the built environment and may offer a viable solution for creating affordable housing at scale. #RICSModus examines this high-tech construction technique 👉 http://ms.spr.ly/6043YhJsv Featuring: [KP Reddy], investor | Dawud Muneer MRICS, RICS | Andrew McCoy, Virginia Tech University #Surveyor #Surveying
There is no mention of how services are incorporated into such building processes. In particular, with the vast number and sophistication of electrical devices in the modern home (including provision for EV charging points and heat pumps), you might expect a bill between £15,000 and £30,000) just for the wiring and electrical fittings, ignoring the heat pump). That is costly because there is no way of providing a wiring loom (as in vehicles) and it is all manual work. Doing the work in a concrete structure is going to put the costs at the upper end of the range.

While 3D printing is 1 new technology, I think the advent of Industrialized Construction is a bigger conversation. No quantities No Construction Management … this plus AI, what will surveyors do in the future?

8hThere is a place for all types of construction but I don’t think there will be much call for it if it needs a perfectly flat plot with lots of flat space around it and can’t do first floors yet. Much better for the economy is an army of well trained and regulated site workers who can move to a variety of sites building in a set format.
