DIYbanter - View Single Post - Robot could build much of your next house

(PeteCresswell)

Per :
I saw a building show where they showed custom homes being made wall
by wall in a factory. This was jigs, robot saws and nailers with the
workers just bring the wood to the job and moving it around.
You just tilt up the walls and connect them together. Everything has
the skin on it, wiring inside and insulated where it needs to be.

Our house was built that way - and back in the 50's.... the guy behind
it pioneered the technique. The house is no prize (my German
relatives would call it "Junk" - not even a decent dog house)... but
it's still standing and nothing leaks.

OTOH, my #2 daughter's house, which was built/assembled the same way a
few years ago by unskilled labor, really *is* junk....
