Building and construction’s future?

In the future, will we be using specialised cranes to “print” complete houses and whole neighbourhoods? While it seems far-fetched, the future is closer than you think. It’s called contour crafting and takes the much talked about 3D printing – into building and construction. This video shows actual footage of an early prototype and according to the presenter, the system could construct an average 2,500 square foot house in just 20 hours.
