Building houses with nano is most likely best done with convergent
assembly. Grow the basic building baterials in vats, then assemble them
into the rough building, then let a second stage of slower nano-growth
do the integration. The parts that need only to be bulk are quickly
made, while the complexity on the different scales (macro and nano) are
provided by engineering on the same scale.
