A US-based 3D print construction company, Hive 3D, is printing five affordable homes made with near-zero carbon concrete in the tiny Texas town of Round Top, west of Houston.
Real estate investment fund the South African Housing & Infrastructure Fund (SAHIF) has announced that it plans to roll out innovative three-dimensional (3D) concrete-printed homes in South Africa. This is possible owing to a joint venture between it and Netherlands construction technology company CyBe Construction, which is a provider of 3D concrete printers and earthquake-proof material.
The technology has demonstrated the capacity to construct a complete house within five days, marking a significant stride towards addressing the country's pressing housing deficit.
New building tech can enable houses to withstand seismic events like the earthquake experienced at the weekend, says SAHIF.
