One of the good things about technology is that you can build faster. However, when you are applying for the building permits, for example, it's going to be a longer process, because the current building code.... For example, the Ontario building code doesn't have any specific guidelines for innovative solutions, so you fall under, for example, the alternative solutions chapter. If you have the chance to look over that chapter, you're going to see that it's a one-page chapter that gives the building official the ability to require whatever they want to have from you in order to approve that project. That means that in most of the cases they're going to be asking for—requiring—tests like fire tests, fire-rating tests, some structural testing, some thermal testing.
Those are just the tests on day one. It's going to take more than a year or two for you to get that testing done. Across municipalities, this is going to change, because if you go to a different building official, they can require a different thing.
I think number one would be to have the building code allow for innovation that has already been proved through research. If you have research data that can back up your claims, you potentially don't need to redo all that testing. The second thing would be to develop the standards specifically for additive construction. That technology has been shown to be a good technology to produce faster and more efficient structural components.
