I say that only cause I been watching a new woolies complex get built & precast concrete walls have not only eliminated bricklaying but speed up the build process remarkably. A shade of paint & this complex is ready to open under 6 months. Precast walling has put bricklayers out of a lot of commercial work which 20 years ago was our bread & butter . I’m very interested in seeing how this progresses & like all would like to see it to believe it but remember when they say constructs a 3 bedroom house we all imagine a finished house but really it’s only the shell . Like me people say your a builder & I say no I’m just your dumb ass bricky & once I’m finished there is still a lot of work yet to complete before u get your keys . Good luck FBH

With all due respect pre-cast completely different market to fbr, actually fbr will probably be supplying the dst for the cranes used to put them up.
Pre cast is dangerous in certain weather conditions, limited in design and modification,very heavy, panel joints can be problematic and expensive, over used forms affect design, small margin of error, needs economies of scale, costly/difficult to transport etc
