The problem with this kind of innovation is that it's improving what's already one of the fastest and easiest parts of building a house. Digging foundations, plastering the walls, doing the plumbing, doing the electrics and laying the flooring can all individually take longer than the bricklaying, and are much harder to automate.

    It's neat in concept, but such a waste of material over stick framing.

    Also, do you need to bust out the impact drill every time you want to hang a photo? What it you need to move an outlet?

    Also also, what happened if you foundation shifts, like at all?

    And how's the insulation on this? Nothing is thermally broken, you're gonna have a good amount of heat going through those rounded corners.
