I take it the OP is not about building materials?

Could revolutionize construction in the third world since cement manufacturing is very energy intensive.

Oh, I drew wrong conclusion from comments. OK, I'll read the link....

Locally available materials? Like, who keeps vats of bacteria around?

But there is great potential in this approach I'm sure. I especially like that they're thinking of actual living structures. Eventually we'll be 'building' houses by planting a house seed?

If they ever find a use for shit then PC could be the sole supplier ,enough for a mega build LOL

I'm old school.

Tie your steel right, use the required amount of concrete (thickness), and a good 6 bag mix and your foundation will last until the cows come home.

Don't go cheap on the footers.

Concrete is the industry standard with a proven track record. Why bet on a unproven with your hard earned dollars?
