I'm sorry, but $700,000 is not cheap.
I thought the same thing lol. I was thinking it had to do with the location or something. New homes in my town are usually 200-300K.
Novelty. About the actual cost of construction is half that of a regular home
They need to recoup the initial cost of all that big equipment, so they'll be selling high value houses first. They can focus on affordable houses later.
No but it is market rate for the size in that location. As they pointed out in the story we don't have nearly enough homes available or the skilled labor to build them. So this is what you get in a metro like Austin or really any other metro in the US. Supply and demand; capitalism is working as intended.

The printers will be cheap. It will be the ink cartridges where they will get ya.
LMAO
LOL
When you're right, you're right! I've purchased a new printer instead of cartridges because it was cheaper by $30 and it came with ink.
10/10
just mod the printer, along with some diy magic by using burnt wood ash, in theory it's plausible to cut out the middle man with enough human ingenuity but convenience has a price.
700k? I know it’s a 4 bedroom but that’s pricey. I thought 3D printed homes were going to be affordable.
Spent nearly 700k on a 3 bedroom 2 bath last fall. This is normal market rate.
@@c187rocks ok but they said these would be more affordable. I'm not talking about normal market rate. I know these people need to make a profit but with less materials used and little to no man labor it's shouldn't be 700k
Thank you
We're talking California here.
@mogad America is all about money and profit. You want cheap move to cemtral america.
"We need more housing for homeless folks, we need affordable starting houses." Turns around & sells 3D printed house for $700,000 in TEXAS of all places! Take one zero off that amount and we'll talk.....
Captiolist. They make it for 4000
That’s in Texas just imagine that being in California. I guess a 3D home in LA would go for 1.5 - 2 million
What happened to affordable???? $$$$$
I remember seeing this being done for poor countries at a extremely affordable price. Cost is crazy here. Such a cool idea
It’s cause permitting things in the US is ridiculous, especially in California. Have you tried to get a project permitted recently? Depending on your county, they may just reject it & you still had to fork the $400 application fee (per project). Even when you exclude the fees, getting permits approved may take months. Time is money when developers still have to pay the bank for idle land as the county cashes their taxes/fees from you.
Almost seem to good to be true. . .oh wait they cost 700k now
Supply and demand. It's really not that complicated.
@@LT4Nova unfortunately you are not getting the point.
@@manuelrojas6912 That’s $700,000 in California.
**Affordable Homes**
Yeah, $700,000 is "Affordable"
Well... It all depends on where you live... If you live in NYC, that's average housing price... If you live in Pennsylvania... You could probably get a really nice house with acres of land
Affordable for oprah. Sure
For homeless folks !
4 bedroom 4 bathroom in Austin TX... It's affordable. If it wasn't no one will buy it
@TyT Sucks Perspective really. How about plain Economics,lol.
I thought this company was trying to build $4000 affordable homes.
My exact thought.
good ol bait and switch! thanks for the funding
Yeah probably as soon as his business makes some money first, Einsteins.
I was thinking $40,000 but at $700k that’s absurd.
Apparently, that fell far by the wayside based on the prices seen of such completed houses.
I like how they don’t pass on the savings to the homeowner. So it’s built cheaper and faster but same cost at any other home. This is the problem.
where is the problem they make more money off more people faster...that means you can buy that gold yacht to pull your other gold yacht that much sooner.
yeah thats what im telling people. they could put up a home in a week for $500 and still sell if for 400k. "cheaper to build" notice they keep saying that and not cheaper to buy. its just going to be absorbed into the contractors profit. now they can build 100 homes in the time it took to build 10 and with a fraction of the labor and material cost......same home prices
>$700,000
>this is really such a good value
lmao
For $700,000 I’d rather buy 50 acres of land and build myself a home in a rural area
And hookers
Agreed!!!
And work where? Date who? The local stray sheep? You'll lose touch with reality and become a Trumper married to a horse in 5 years

@@XxBloodSteamxX you city lefty guys are chopping off your wangs and touching kids.....you think people out in the country are losing touch with reality
The new technology offers affordable homes at $700,000?!! 😂 I think they meant affordable for the builder so he can get a higher profit margin.
Agreed!!!
“There is a nationwide shortage of skilled labor.” Yeah, Jason, that is because in the 1950s people who owned companies would train their workers so they were skilled. Now no one one is willing to put in the time and money to train workers. They’d rather use the “no one has skills” excuse. It would be like if we stopped sending kids to high school and then complained they were uneducated. Oh, wait...scratch that...we still send them to school but we don’t educate them all that much anymore. Not a good analogy.
Yes
And remember the times which was probably before thr 1990s when schools
High school had skilled training programs besided woodworking and automotive
It's because of how the politicians treat Unions....It's not a growing field no more with decent wages....therefore we don't advocate our youth to get in the trades.
A labor shortage after we went from 1 income families to 2 income families. And after 40 years of high tech advancements. And after importing much of our goods from China. And after importing 10s of millions of low skilled legal and illegal immigrants. Weird, isn't it.
I can build a house or building from the ground up, all trades.
But I got out of it after 2008. The feast or famine aspect doesn't go well with having a family and they were constantly crushing wages so fk em.
A four bedroom house costs $370k in Austin idk where this guy is getting his prices from
I invest in real estate in Austin and Dallas. I can tell you the market is much closer to $700,000 in Austin for a 4 bedroom. Most of the statistics you're seeing are at least a year old, are listing prices not selling prices, and are not all 4 bedrooms. I bought a house last year for $402,000 that just sold for $620K with nothing but a spuce up. Just wait for the bubble to burst when people lose their employment and have a $3500 a month mortgage they can't pay. Its coming.
It's California 😂
@@tradingbull007 It's actually Texas
@Михаил Владимирович Кучин I replied on my channel where you posted also. Hopefully you see it. Cheers.
@@allaboutroofing2 Where are you roofing?
We saw the first one,it’s unbelievable! They are not cheap. Started with the homeless program, now look.
That was 5 or 6 years ago.
"we need housing for homeless".... yeah homeless definitely will afford a house priced over half a million and more. lol
My thoughts, too!!!
Well technology becomes cheaper over time
In the last complex, they’re exactly the same and on top of each other. I don’t mind the concept, but I cannot stand cookie cutter houses.
Exactly the walls are ugly
they are exactly the opposite of cookie cutter if the builder wishes to do that...you go right from the computer drawing to printing the house that afternoon...so you should be able to build whatever house you want by selecting any room from any design already made and slap them together.
@@bodhisfattva7462 You can do that now, provided you can afford your design choices, upgrades etc. etc.
Ticky Tacky crap like that can stay in the 1950s. Its sad that while custom homes are easier with this tech, they will still cost more due to having the new design checked by engineers. Thus we will get cookie cutter crap.
The only reason you have to use 3D print is to reduce cost and waste. But for 700k, please
Just like many people have commented and noticed, for 3D printed houses to catch on , they need to be half the price of traditional wood built houses and take less time. A standard 2 bedroom wood framed house would take 2 weeks to build an cost 20 - 30 thousand dollars. 3D printed , it might take a week to build but cost 2 times as much for the price.
wow where do you live? i was quoted for a 30x30 garage with a 2 bedroom on a 2nd floor. just for the stick built shell was 250,000 and would take several months! they are saying these go up in weeks vs months and cost less......BUT in the end what they SELL for will be the same as any other home. they will sell for more for a while because they are neat but once they become the norm there will be no difference in a 400k stick built home and a 400k 3D printed one......only real difference will be the contractor that build 100 of them at a time will make alot more money
700 racks and then gonna get that financed. You’ll end up paying abouy 1.5 million in total
Funny how that works when you can't pay for it all in one lump sum. Imagine complaining about a 3% APR.
the fact that you can make curved or wavy walls easily is awesome. maybe we will see more houses with more character soon
Black metal clad box would be hot in Austin sun
I’ve seen houses in Mexico made from old tires then mud and earth materials for the stucco
I'm not impressed at all unless it's super cheap! They need ones that are around 20k.
It can be build cheap, but the companies still wanne make a 200% profit. Sad but true 👍
Last time I looked, new cars cost more than $20k. Which is beyond ridiculous.
Wow, interesting...3D printed house! I wouldn't mind ordering one for my mom and one for me to live in once I get more 2D printed money.
Excellent. For those of us who have been Bamboozled by Big Builders who cut corners and buy off the local inspectors, having a solidly-built home is priceless. The business model of certain Big Builders is to sell a mortgage. The 'home' is merely a facade.
ᕙ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)ᕗ Buy with cash!
lol uh this is pretty much doing that.....they are cutting jobs, building it cheaper with less labor and cheaper matrials......but selling it to you for the same as if they built a stick built home. haha cheaper to build= more profit not cheaper homes
Austin Texas is a high rent district, hence 700 thousand dollar house
Crumble houses is a good name. Just look at all those points of water entrance and fracture points.
For the price of one of these houses, I can buy a 3D house printer and land to build many houses... especially if I can lease the machine.
Best comment here. Which is the future. People are not thinking out of the box.
So... if I buy one of these homes, and have an accident, pull my car up and break a wall, a tree branch hits the house and makes a hole, what are my repair options? These aren't modular, you can't just print and ship a wall to someone. How do you patch these things when damage occurs, and it WILL occur?
Bricks would make a good patch, I imagine. Good question!
@@enigmaticnomadics - I was thinking cement or some form of Play-Doh. 🤣
700,000? Some of us need more affordable housing prices than that.
There isn’t a housing shortage when the birth rate is lower than death rate. It seems like there is because there’s a shortage in certain high demand areas.
🎶"Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes made with ticky tacky. Little boxes all the same."
Was that a Pete Seeger song?
Excited to see where this tech goes. Just from an aesthetics standpoint, there is so much capability here. No more are we confined to “box” shaped homes. You could have it shaped like anything you want. To me, that’s extremely exciting. The domes they showed in Spain are really unique looking. I’d love to see non-traditional homes take off.
Please see my comment..thanks
Italy
@@mux90able whoops lol
you can already get fun dome shaped houses make with basically large balloons that are inflated and covered in rebar then they spray a layer that forms a crust over it then they spray concrete on it . It is called the Binishell and it was developed in the 60s i think...they actually look pretty cool
When I heard “they can withstand natural disasters” it’s interesting in fact it should be interesting to states that have natural disasters to consider a new way of manufacturing homes. Cement (a primary material, since ancient times) may be the first material for 3-d homes, but that could change with time. Anyhow I hope people really consider these innovations for their next homes.
Previously, these homes were supposed to sell for less than $100k. If I am remembering right, they were around $60k according to the first stories about them. Now, they're saying $700k??? A great alternative has become NO F'ING WAY.
Gimmicky and going to be prone to a lot of issues because they are monolithic, rigid/brittle, and either not very porous or too porous (both are bad). As an architect I think it’s really cool & all …also probably the direction we’ll go into in the future.. but for now there are a lot of peculiarities and potential flaws that need to be worked out for long term plausibility. Here’s just one simple scenario that would concern me: Your 3D printed house is 5 years old and the foundation (simple slab…?) has settled. As a result, the rigid walls of the 3D printed building have formed cracks/micro cracks and the shearing forces have also delaminated some of the cement layers. It rains and water is slowly pooling into the voids between the walls with nowhere to drain out. If you live in a climate with winter cold temperatures this the freezing of this water will further and rapidly erode the layered cement walls. Even if you don’t and you live somewhere warm the water will slowly evaporate and lower the R value (insulation) of the wall and likely begin a bad mold infestation throughout the length of the wall. Now, these issues likely will also work their way past the interior side of the wall and well yeah… Listen I’m all for the advancement of building technology, but buildings have been built certain ways for hundreds and thousands of years for a reason… being continually perfected to be strong but flexible water resilient and easily repairable. This technology as it is throws a lot of important details out the window (pun intended).
I want to see how they age. Also would like to see how the first few houses he printed turned out.
Last time I checked concrete hold moisture and mold - always remember seeing concrete with a lot of white on it - That would be mold - I’ll pass
Austin has low humidity.
I bet the tech is cheaper to buy (the actual printing machine) than it is for these people to pour you a single house!
it's cheaper to have people in china pre-fab everything and ship it over. But we need 3D printed homes because labor prices are going to be very high.
There's a Russian guy who built one in his garage and printed a miniature castle with it. The tech is very cheap but the greed is not.
this is ment to be cheap to build many homes in a line. here in AZ they are building 100 of them all at once. they set the printer up only once and literally drive it to the next foundation. so they can build 1 shell a week.....vs coming to your property, setting up the printer building you that one custom house and leaving.....yeah thats not gonna save you any money
700,000 where does the affordable part come in? lol
imagine if humans still lived in caves in the 21st century. Oprah be like: And you get a cave!, and You get a cave!....
There's an island in the Indian Ocean where a tribe of uncontacted people are still in the stone age. North Sentinel Island. Check it out!
The cost to the builder will be drastically cheaper. The cost to the consumer will stay the same.
As this tech matures, you will need less and less manual labor. Multiple families will go hungry.
As revolutionary as 3d house printing is, this isn't the only solution.
At 700k, its not solution
Yes! No square, cookie cut neighborhoods!!!! Love it.
lol no it will be rounded cookie cutter homes instead. they will do exactly the same thing. put in 5 floor plans and build 100s of them at a time
I've literally seen one block layer working by himself (meaning he had to mix his own mortar too) build a whole building the size of a house in one day.................No massive machine had to be hauled in and set up either...................Or if it's concrete walls, the crew sets the forms one day and pours the next or maybe even later the same day...............There's nothing impressive cost-wise or time-wise I see here...........Beyond that, most of the house is a conventional home built by carpenters that are going to add extra labor and cost because of accommodating the Funky Shapes.
im thinking they are not yet approved by engineers to go up 2 story just yet. there is still alot of testing but eventually a roof and plumbing is all people will have to do. its cheaper if your building 100 of them in a row where that machine can be rolled over into place per each home. here in AZ they are doing over 100 homes and the 3d printer is literally driven into place so it needs no set up. every shell is done in a week with a 5 man crew. your not going to build a stick built shell in a week with 5 men. these are all one story ranch style that just need a roof. so next a crew will come in and do the roof and finish work. so yes it is cheaper to build but it wont save a buyer a dime. still gonna be the same as any other average home on the market.....just more profit to builders
@@miketlane My neighbor who is now 88 built a house with a five man crew in a day when he was younger......Framed, roofed, sided, all windows and doors installed.
So maybe home owners can give the designers their own 3D design instead of having it chose for them?
I hope there is some sort of paint or filler that can be used to cover up those large ridges in the 3D printing process.

700k?? I’m from Austin, look at the neighborhood in the background, thats east Austin, their gentrifying places where people can barely afford rent and charging almost a million?? People make $7.25 minimum wage....
That $700K includes the price of the land. How much does it cost just to "print" the house if I already have my own land? Interesting that this key part is not discussed.
Doesn’t look like there’s much land at all there.
It’s about time! There are so many different ways that a person can build an energy efficient home without breaking the bank. This particular method should come down in price as they become more popular. There’s also strawbale or hemp houses, sod, and rammed earth. We need to utilize the earth in a way more sustainable way. We just need banks, and insurance companies to refine their rules.
With the corporate and government greed, I just don't see it happening 😒

gonna have to wait 10 years for the price to come down
This is amazing. Hope for an affordable house one day.
$400,000 Is not affordable
No way they will make their homes affordable.
"Robotic construction is abslutley our future" 3D printing is just coming into its own. On another level Buckminster Fuller was an early pioneer of cheap livable homes ( THE GEODESIC DOME HOMES ) he envisioned thousands of shelters for people devestated by the Depression back in the 20s and 30s..a true innovator for his times and he got a lot flack( pushback) for his efforts!!..I wonder if this this new technology could be intergrated with those concepts from then to now....( Domes..Monolithic..Underground..etc)..The possibilities would be unbelievable!!!! Thanks Sunday Morning 🌅
Thanks. Saw a film about him recently & was trying to remember his name.
There are self-driving cars, trucks and there are robots that bring objects from A to B and can also open doors independently if you combine these technologies so 3D home printers with self-driving cars and robots because you can build whole cities. Once you have programmed this correctly, the efficiency is unimaginable!!!
Let's get serious and practice. Build these kind of homes for the poor and near homeless, to show we are a caring nation. To be energy efficient and can withstand natural disasters is just the right formula for these people. Technology should help the less advantaged, they have been waiting to long for our compassion and empathy.
"It will be listed for around $700,000" ... "This is really such a good value" - lmfao hello??
The possibilities are endless!
I can't wait till they can 3D print me an addition
I'm still curious how you do the wiring Plumbing inside the concrete walls while it's printing
you do it after just like you build the frame of the house before you do wiring and plumbing normally. the hollow areas during the printing is where you run the pipes and wires can be run in between the layers before you plaster the inside walls.
@@bodhisfattva7462 You don't seem to understand how plumbing and wiring work.
pretty awesome deff investing in this
What a time to be alive!
Build more Townhomes. They take up less land and don’t need to cost as much.
This is great, wondering how it would be repaired?
Amazing technology!
Robotic arms laying interlocking bricks should be cheaper with better construction.
Yeah, Frank Lloyd Wright did that 80 years ago.
when affordable housing and 700,000 is in the same minute, I was done lol.
$700k? What in the ffffffffffff
Add a layer of coded rivets Punch's. To weave the layers stronger
I think this technology may become the mainstream in the future. With less manpower, only design drawings, a 3D printing machine and operators can complete the construction of a house. And it looks very safe. If the strength and safety factor of materials are high, I think it is a technology destined to be popular.
$700,000 for an ugly house in Texas??? No thank you.
There was a musician building 4k homes for homeless in Los Angeles until city council stopped him.
So much was left out of the story. For those who don't know people are working on these units to be sent to the moon and make structures for future moon missions. This technology is amazing and I'm going to start buying stock.

Printing: any process by which one material is deposited on another, typically plastic, metal, chocolate, and concrete; archaically ink droplets.
I think I'll make my 3D printed home out of mud and clay.

There's no tools or assembly required when an object is 3D printed. So they will definitely be used to build a lot of stuff in the future. I bet most things will eventually reach the point of being 3D printed.
$700,000? Where is the other$550,000 of house?
This is awesome! Isn't concrete expensive though? The dirt seems like a more cost efficient alternative. I could be wrong though.
local dirt and straw (basically a cob house) is used by a different company printing houses...and it is much cheaper to build by far and cob houses can last 1000 years if you patch with fresh mud.
@@bodhisfattva7462 yeah I didn’t know the name of it, but I was thinking exactly that!
@@bodhisfattva7462 I doubt dirt will last. Cob is made with clay, sand, and straw. Each material plays a role, such as adding strength. Without a good foundation and the right stye roof, it won't last 100s of years, like they do in Europe.
@@bodhisfattva7462 Too bad many places are in a flood plane. I don't think a cob house would work in those locations. They are great houses, though, since cob insulates well.

You know, if houses can be 3D printed, so can bunkers incase the fall of society. Just saying though. It's not a bad idea and there would be way more survivors so long as they have enough resources of course.
The 1 percent does not WANT a bunch of survivors!
3D printing is revolutionizing manufacturing/construction. I think a new college major has just blossomed. New jobs have been created too. As an architectural major, I’d like to see more of how the roofs and foundations or crawl spaces are created. Coastal dwellings like these have yet to be tested against extreme storms (category 5-maximum storms). What is a design to accommodate storm surge? I’d like to see more. Im optimistic, but we shall see 🤔.
Much safer ! We’ve entered into a time where modern building materials burn so much faster than the traditional building materials and this knocks all other materials out of the park . It’s definitely a fire resistant structure . Just like the training buildings we use in the fire service to train in high temperature fires
The cement won't have issues with termites, either. It might resist mod, too.
It's pointless if only the walls are made of the 3d printed material. The roof and inner wall are all wood.
I wouldn’t say it’s pointless but I’d be concerned about concrete with no protection against sheer forces.
I wouldn’t call this 3D printed...more like robot extruded. “Print” is being overused nowadays.
Agreed!
What can it build for $100K?

I LOVE THE RANCH HOMES! Who wants to walk up and down stairs?
While it's pretty cool, it’s application here is pretty limited. It's only involving the exterior walls, not the foundation, not the interior walls or ceiling-up. It's super-interesting, but without a noticeable drop in cost, all it really is is just easier on the workers in just that narrow part of construction and the ability to be unconventional in design at the same price-point as bland walls. It really needs the rest of the revolution to be revolutionary, meaning find a way to also build the interior walls and roof and then you'll have something revolutionary.
in europe they are printing multi floor buildings. it is only the craptastic american companies that are making these garbage houses and charging 700k for them.
