Quotables

 

“We’ve actually been 3D printing homes since 1949. It’s just that not a lot of people have known about it and had that real technology to mainstream it and bring it to the forefront.”

 

“For people who are in new construction, that’s what they want because you’re pressed with trying to find the right workers that are gonna be consistent.”

 

“If you take time to get to know people, they will also be interested in you and you just never know where that opportunity or where that conversation is gonna take you.”
