You Can Now Build a House for as Little as $5,000
One of the biggest challenges of owning a home today is the soaring real estate prices, especially in major cities and large urban areas. Unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars, finding a property you can call home can be pretty challenging. But did you know that a private Chinese firm has devised an innovative way for people to own a house for as low as $5,000AUD?
3D printed house

China-based WinSun recently built ten full-sized, single-storey houses using 3D printers. They used the printers to spray a mixture of construction waste and recycled cement to build the walls of the homes, layer by layer.
Unlike the traditional methods used in constructing a house, the process neither involved manual labour nor expensive building materials. As a result, WinSun could build the houses for less than $5,000 each. What’s more, the building process was a quick and hassle-free affair. Believe it or not, the company could build 10 houses in one day.

There is a question – what next? I believe 3D-printed homes should not raise concerns because skilled builders might move over to sustainable green projects, so everybody wins!
