Me too! We are purchasing property near the Joshua Tree National Forest. Originally we had intended to order a prefab structure from Japan, but this might be more economical and offer more personalization , awesome find! :-)

Inflatable concrete balloon you say.... I think that may go over like a lead balloon.


IDK - perhaps as 'temporary' shelter its a good thing. This technology will need to be improved upon and more shapely to be viable for real construction of more permanent structures.

I just wonder what we will do with all of the fired concrete workers once this faster way to build in concrete comes in. If a couple three men can raise a full structure that would put dozens out of work.

Katrina survivors would have benefited from these. It's possible they could be prebuilt as hurricane shelters, or fire safe zones in forests. They look much better made than many third world homes whose lives would greatly improve with these structures keeping out vampire bats, fire ants, mosquitoes, scorpions, Panthers, snakes, wolves, ... Places like Alaska that has to worry about snow weight on the ceiling, or bears... Sand storms in the deserts...

The possibilities are endless. This could be the beginnings of colonizing other planets.
