A company called Apis Cor has 3D printed a (tiny) house in 24 hours for $10,000, which comes out to about $275/m2.
Reconstructing Buckingham Palace at 77,000 m2 this way would cost only about $21 million. According to a 2010 estimate in The Guardian: "you could build a new energy-efficient replica of the palace for a knock-down £320m", which translates to $552 million.
So: 3D printing the palace would save over a HALF BILLION DOLLARS! Muahahaha (pinkies up!).
Video of the building process.

These alternatives are too unattainable or undesirable for much of the population now.
"Child-free" rearing, as you say, will likely get you in trouble with CPS if not actual jail time like the guy in LA recently who was convicted of child endangerment and imprisoned for making his kid walk 1 mile home as a punishment.
Having a proper amount of space inside to avoid the legal problems will cost at least $1M in a desirable area (one where you can get a job).
The answer is simple: don't have kids. Our society actively punishes you for having kids, so the simple solution is to just not have any. Eventually, this problem will correct itself.
