I laughed at the marketing material mentioning a labor shortage as a driver of this technology. As far as I can see, they only print the walls. The foundation, water, electrics, and roof are all handled by labor.

We watched 2 guys frame two three story houses next to us over the course of several weeks. They each had a house and would help each other at certain stages.

Precut lumber and prefab parts in exact amounts were dropped off on pallets daily and a cherry picker with a forklift end was brought in to put the pallets on the second and 3rd stories.

Once these houses were framed they had another duo each for water, electrical, drywall, etc.

It was incredibly efficient imo. They had a staging area for the entire neighborhood where the pallets were dropped off and one guy driving around delivering pallets to each team.
