      From the article

      3D printing shaves huge chunks of months off a build. Mahil’s house, which will have four bedrooms and five toilets, will be completed within five weeks.

      “The printing itself is about three weeks, and then to put the roof and the lighting and all the other services, that will take us about five weeks,” he says. “Then I can move and live inside it.”

      While there has been no Australian research into the cost differences between traditional brick and mortar builds and 3D ones, Mahil says he got comparative quotes for his house.

      So the title is incorrect.

      3 weeks + 5 weeks and then not a single finish is made after that. And that’s not counting any mistakes / corrections that have to be made. Because the technology isn’t perfect either.

      I get they’re trying to promote this to make more money as a company but this flat out lying has me gagging every time.

      So will any cost savings be passed to the consumer or just additional profit for the builder? Obviously investment in these technologies is expensive but how is this assisting the buyer besides “speed”.
