Navigating the approval landscape

The most comprehensive tracker of 3DCP permitting pathways in the US — updated as regulations evolve.

01

Florida — Product Approval Path

In Progress

FL Product Approval via UL 3401 Report of Findings + Master Building Permit §553.794. One approval covers all 67 Florida counties. 12 working days per site-specific permit after master review.

UL 3401 FL Product Approval §553.794 F.S. HVHZ 175 mph SB 184 (Jul 2025)
02

Florida — Factory Certificate Path

Pre-Application

DBPR Manufactured Building Program for mobile 3D printing modules. No precedent exists — first-mover advantage. Pre-application meeting with DBPR Division of Building Codes and Standards required.

DBPR FL §553.38 HUD MPS ANSI A225.1 QAM Required
03

California — CalHCD Factory-Built

Roadmap Stage

Factory-Built Dwelling Unit approval under H&S Code §19960. One CalHCD certificate = automatic acceptance in all 58 California counties. Florida DBPR certificate creates precedent and argumentation.

CalHCD §19960 ICC-ES Eval Report Title 24 Part 6 Chapter 7A WUI
04

OSHA — Industrial Equipment Path

Fastest Track

Certify the mobile module as industrial manufacturing equipment under OSHA 29 CFR 1910 + CA OSHA Title 8. Bypasses building department entirely. 3–6 month timeline vs 12–18 months for building codes.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910 CA OSHA Title 8 NFPA 701 Tent NEC 2023

Join the Movement
3DCP
NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION

The 3D concrete printing industry needs a unified voice. For standards. For policy. For federal programs. For the builders who come next. We are forming the 3DCP National Association — a non-profit trade organization to represent and advance this industry at every level of government and regulation.

📋
Building Codes & Standards — Working with ICC-ES, HUD, and OSHA to develop 3DCP-specific codes that unlock the technology nationwide
🏛️
Federal & State Advocacy — Lobbying for 3DCP inclusion in housing programs, disaster recovery funding, and workforce development grants
🤝
Industry Coordination — Creating the forum where companies, researchers, builders, and policymakers advance the industry together
📊
Data & Research — Publishing the studies, benchmarks, and market data that give 3DCP credibility with investors and government
Express Founding Member Interest →
01
501(c)(6) Trade Association
Forming as a 501(c)(6) — the same structure used by NAR, NAHB, and every major US construction trade body. Member dues fund advocacy, research, and events.
02
Founding Member Tier
First 20 companies to join become Founding Members — permanent recognition in all association materials, board nomination rights, and reduced dues for life.
03
No Bureaucracy Yet — Just Intent
We are currently gauging founding member interest. Express your intent now. No commitment, no fees — just your name on the list of people who want to build this together.

THE VOICE OF A MOVEMENT,
NOT A COMPANY

3dprintbuild.com is run by practitioners who believe that 3D concrete printing will fundamentally change how the world builds housing. We celebrate every advance in this field — large and small, American and international, startup and corporation.

We have no interest in promoting one company over another. Our interest is in the technology reaching its full potential — and in building the community of people who will make that happen.
