Why It Matters to California
- Wildfire-Ready Homes: Concrete printed walls achieve a two-hour ASTM E119 fire rating and superior seismic performance, offering durable replacements in high-risk regions.
- Speed & Affordability: Each 1 900 sq ft shell prints in <48 hours, cutting timelines ≈ 75% and hard costs ≈ 50% versus stick-built construction.
- Local Jobs & Supply Chain: Printer frames are U.S.-manufactured; aggregates are sourced from California suppliers, keeping spending and green-tech jobs in-state.
