    That’s kinda my point. It’s really a materials and structure engineering problem. How do you automate house-building? Maybe you don’t need concrete at all, or only in strategic places.

      Exactly. Automated house building could take many forms. It could be a big 3D concrete printer on a gantry crane. It could be a crew of humanoid robots using ordinary human power tools. It could be a robot arm on a powered dolly that lifts and nails, glues, or welds panels and beams into place.
