Alternative Building Technology: KTAR "Rosie on the House" with special guest Mark Candelaria

“While the construction industry has historically been slow to change, new technologies have emerged. Our curiosity often drives us to investigate these new technologies and, for some, employ them. The pioneering process can take time and effort.

We talked with two people who stretched the status quo. Homeowner Ty Warbington and Architect Mark Candelaria each used unique new technology approaches to build a residence in the greater Phoenix area. Ty shares his story implementing a steel home kit that was assembled on-site and Mark shares his story of designing a concrete home built with a 3D printer! They share the goals, permitting, construction and end results of the process to construct both homes and all the lessons learned.
