Mighty Buildings is able to complete a home in just 24 hours—with walls, floors, and ceilings—because they 3D-print them in a warehouse in Oakland.

The startup uses a specialized material called thermostat composite that makes them durable, low maintenance, and ultra-energy efficient.

Customers can choose different sizes, from a 1 BD–1 bath unit, to a 3 BD–2 bath, with delivery and installation included in the price. The 350-sq-ft unit costs $115,000 installed. Plumbing, electricity, furnishings, doors and windows are all fitted post installation the old-fashioned way.

It’s an exciting time in the world of 3-D printing. An entire neighborhood of 50 printed houses is being completed in Mexico by Texas company ICON, and will benefit low-income residents, through grants from a nonprofit.

3D-printed homes are actually becoming fairly popular, because their costs are so much lower, and there is 90% less waste, but differences in 3-D capabilities and technologies are emerging.

Mighty Buildings is constructing family homes for 45% less than most construction firms because of its automated process—and unlike ICON, they also print the floor and roof of the building.

For Mighty Buildings, a huge boon is being able to go where some other 3D-printing construction companies cannot, with their 20-foot printer, and completing the entire structure, which is rare.

“As soon as you are able to produce not only the walls but also floor and ceiling, that saves a huge amount of hours, and specifically labor hours, which are very expensive,” Slava Solonitsyn, CEO and co-founder of the exciting startup, told Fast Company.

So how about it: Would you like to have your next home printed for you in just 24 hours?
