Like in offices when they run extension cords in cable channels? If it’s truely modular, have wiring harnesses and those get dropped in midprint like the windows, electricians are more for the hookups and wiring calculations, but if those are done in a factory and certified (like any other electronic) what’s the difference?
How experienced in construction are you?
I get that. I'm struggling to find a single example of this being done with a 3D printed house. Or one technician doing it all. Or actually anything that yahoo keeps claiming. I'm going to stand my ground on the electrical not being modular. I will be happy to change my mind if given examples of it in real construction of a 3D printed home that had the electrical done by the printer tech. Still, such a system would not be exclusive to 3D printed homes so we are back to square one.
And again, my whole point was that one technician is not out there building an entire home currently. You and your buddy are welcome to provide examples. Still waiting for him to get back to my on the roof, which will apparently also be 3D printed.
My construction experience is strongest in Timber Frame for residential. Otherwise I am on the steel side of things. Ships, power plants, etc.
