The first ever open source, digitally-printed 3D house alias WikiHouse is going to be constructed in central London. Arup engineers has developed this two-storied, two-bedroom house.
The WikiHouse is a low-energy house that can be downloaded, accommodated, printed and accumulated in a limited period of time under £50,000. No construction skill is required to build it.

One can start with downloading house designs produced and distributed by a global organization of designers.
Afterward, apply the WikiHouse plugin for SketchUp. One can produce a set of cutting files for the house parts. The parts are then 'printed' from a standard sheet material like plywood, with the help of a CNC milling machine.

The next phase should be organizing the numbered parts on the ground and slicing them together like a jigsaw.
Under this process no bolts are required; wedges and pegs are used to fix the parts.
After completion of all the processes, one can invite friends and family over the 'barn-raising'. The lightweight frames can be hoisted manually and attached into a house structure.
Once the basic house framework is prepared, significant elements like cladding, insulation, windows and, of course, a toilet can be included.
