Using Computer Aided Design software on a 10-year-old computer, the concrete was pushed through a print head and layered repeatedly to build the barracks room walls. Friedell said that the job took 40 hours because Marines were carefully monitoring the project and continually filling the printer with concrete. However, if a robot was used to do the mixing and pumping, the building could be built in 24 hours, he added.

Normally, it takes 10 Marines five days to construct a barracks hut out of wood.

What some people won't do to get out of a little work.

I assume the goal is to go a bit faster than this.  I would have thought they could pour a concrete building in less time than that using some pre-fab forms (with a rebar option).  And does this time count installing windows(?), lights, roof, etc?  And I guess the foundation was already there as well.

According to their computer models, they could pour it 26% faster, if a guy in a Smokey-the-Bear hat stood around, yelling "Move, move, move!"

What speed if he is yelling, "Move maggots."

Never mind the machinery can only move so fast...
