Robot mason
There was a thread here a week or so ago about a robot mason and
saying it takes weeks to lay the brick in a house. I understand this was block but the Mexicans laid up a 2400 sq/ft house in one day here and they were done at 3. |

Yeah, but they get there before daylight :-) The neighbor would have code enforcement here if they did. You can't do much of anything before 0700. They hate this house because it is at the FEMA required 14' ASL and the rest are more like 7. It is 600-700 sq/ft bigger too. It is a castle on a hill. Mexicans don't have 3D printing and precision... .... but they can lay the hell out of block. This is pretty work. |

Robot mason
g,
Sounds like the writings on the wall. If the Mk. I can lay a wall then the Mk. II will do it better and faster. Dave M. |

I understand this was block but the Mexicans laid up a 2400 sq/ft house in one day here and they were done at 3. I saw that too. It's pretty amazing but so much construction is now done with poured concrete I'm not sure if that will catch on. Also: even though it's fast...how long does it take to setup and disassemble? How reliable is it...what if it breaks down etc? That business is migrating to ICF. They are basically styrofoam Lego blocks that they lay the walls up with and then pour the center solid with concrete. It is a very solid structure and well insulated (~6" of foam). They built one up the road and it went from footer to tie beam in about 3 days. |
