Part 6/10:
Throughout the project, Icon and Lennar have refined their methods. Lessons learned include optimizing wall thickness—reducing material costs and print times—and moving towards more open floor plans with fewer interior walls. These improvements are expected to lower costs further and streamline the construction process.
Challenges and Market Implications
While the community's success marks a milestone, it also exposed initial difficulties. The first third of the project took twice as long and cost twice as much as anticipated, a clear reminder that innovation often involves overcoming setbacks. Nonetheless, by the project's end, production was on schedule and within budget, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of the teams involved.
