Is 3D Printing of houses or rather walls viable?  3D Printing of walls or houses? Questions to be asked? Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing.  We therefore want to make it quite clear that this post is published purely to summarise our take on the topic and to have the ability to reference these questions without having to repeat the inherent issues associated with the 3D printing process of houses. All of the numbers used for 3D printing cost purposes are assumed as these cost are not readily available for the purpose of this cost example. We would invite any 3D printing entity to help with the actual numbers to take any guess work out of the cost estimation. The first 3D printing article was posted in 2017 by moladi : 3D Printing a house or is it in reality - 3D Printing Walls? The development of moladi over the years has been achieved by simply ...

Housing construction costs in Yemen: Affordability & Purchasing Power - Middle East News : The substantial problem of a housing shortage is becoming an enduring feature in Yemen. All the same, the response to housing needs was hasty. Construction projects were executed using inappropriate and costly construction and design practices resulting in low-quality housing, causing further escalation in construction and housing costs to prices beyond the financial reach of the majority of the population in Yemen. A report by Dr. Basel Sultan.Improving the construction and housing sector is essential for several reasons. First for economic reasons, the performance of the construction & housing sector has a considerable influence on the overall economy where it contributes seven to 15 percent of the Gross National Product (GNP). Secondly, for social reasons, because housing is a basic human need. Third, for environmental reasons in order to reduce the consumption of resources, especially...
