3D Printed Concrete Walls

[jerseyshore]

Have a potential project where the owner wants to utilize 3D printed concrete walls. We'll have a traditional footing 3 ft deep, then 2 ft of below grade (non-retaining) printed foundation walls plus about 10 ft of ground floor printed walls with a two story wood house on top.

Anyone have any experience with these? Any tips or advice if this thing goes forward?

The owner said they spoke to someone who has done this before and is willing to provide some guidance. I said I wouldn't even start the project until I saw ICC reports and the building department pre-approves it as a method of construction.

Lots of R6 Zip sheathing being used.

Actually makes it easier

Rarely have I heard two more contradictory statements...

Your residential contractors are a complaining about some fairly minor changes. Below is an example of a net zero wall section in my neck of the woods. That is 8" of Rock wool on the exterior with nothing other than some fancy connector penetrating thru it.
