Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien is looking at the groundbreaking use of 3D printing to build homes in the UK as a way of building quicker, cheaper and more efficient homes for the Irish market.
An Irish company is at the vanguard of delivering the UK’s first major 3D printed housing development and Mr O’Brien is understood to be watching the project with a keen interest.
Harcourt Technologies (HTL.tech) is behind the project that will see 46 ‘eco-homes,’ a mix of houses and apartments, built using the cutting edge 3D printing methods at a site in Lancashire.
