3-D print construction is being used, if not
at scale.  And pre-fabrication has been done.
With drawbacks, but it's just crossed my mind
that while it appears to be impossible even
or especially in 2025 to build housing without
incorporating catastrophic faults due to
workers' ignorance or deliberate negligence,
a pre-fab at least could be tested for faults
before it leaves the factory.  But would it be?
