The code includes requirements for construction and construction materials to be consistent with accepted standards of design, engineering, and fire prevention practices, and to use technology that reduces the cost of construction and promotes efficient use of <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a> use but still complies with health and safety standards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6705884026190569360.png\" class=\"aligncenter\">   The interior of the largest (volume) 3D printed building, according to Guinness World Records, printed by Apis Cor   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need for safe, quality affordable housing is significant across Montana, and this approval puts Montana at the forefront of innovative housing construction technologies nationwide,\u201d said Commissioner of Labor &amp; Industry, Laurie Esau. \u201cThe Dep<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>ment will continue to work to ensure that our standards and regulations are keeping pace with the innovation taking place in the industry to help facilitate new construction for Montana\u2019s workers and families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is exciting news for all home builders and of course the 3D printed homes industry,\u201d said Apis Cor co-founder and CEO, Anna Cheniuntai. \u201cHaving this clear support from the state of Montana paves the way for faster decisions at the county level, which will make it easier for developers to move forward on their 3D printed housing projects.
