7 Great PREFAB HOMES #1 (some affordable)

[@scwidow2225]

When you think about it, long haul truck drivers have been living tiny since back in the 1920's till current in the smallest of areas. Simply gangster. Thanks truck drivers for helping keep us supplied.

My house I purchased is a modular home built in 1980. It's pretty well built and very energy efficient.

[@TheFasterFreedomShow]

The different avenues for investing in real estate are truly endless!

[@SurleyBlaine]

In the 80's my parents got a prefab 3 bedroom cabin, it was bigger and nicer than our 3 bedroom house. Aside from the foundation, we assembled it. It was a lot cheaper than having someone else do it and you can pay friends and family with beer.

[@blipco5]

SurleyBlaine ...You're lucky. My friends will work for beer but are now demanding pizza as well. Yep, 21st century has changed everything. 👍

[@carolweaver3269]

I know of some who have done it too and it was a lovely home. My younger son builds large buildings for Ski resorts and apartments and he started out building modular many, many years ago and worked his way up to all of this. I think he could do it if we were able to get one. The land our great-granddaughter now has and it cold work. As one is older it is more frightening to go through it all though. . But would be nice.

[@luisleduc7222]

I saw one the other day, it was beautiful. It was white and grey and was absolutely breathtaking. It’s foundation was like it was made especially for it. It almost looked like it could leap into the sky and disappear within the clouds. It’s top had long beautiful extensions that carried sound from within. Truly breathtaking.......I have never seen a rabbit like this one🤪. Stay home and be safe #coronavirus 😷 #smile 😁

[@palletocynic367]

I love to have one with interior wood design, cool and easy to cleanup. Great idea with solar panels, less pollution and economical.

[@PH1M0]

I love these options, at the very least, they are expanding people minds and ideas of what a home can be, not just the typical house that every 6 year old draws that dominate the market currently. I really believe the industry is prime for a major change in building type, form, material, operation, etc and I am very interested in seeing (and influencing) where this goes. Great video 👍

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

Unfortunately a lot of areas ban the right to live in these homes.

[@kathe.o.]

I love the gambrel roof & the bamboo houses. They show such inginuity. Both in the gloss natural wood finish. I am partial to metal roofs & shutters, preferably evergreen in color. As a limited mobility senior citizen, I can not do stairs. Would need regular sized refrigerator, side-by-side washer & dryer. ADA regulation doorways & bath rails, walk-in or roll-on rain shower with hand held capability. Not the only handicap person in need of affordable housing.

[@highonsmog]

I like these too, but cost, land and zoning is the real issue to me. It isn't easy to do. ADA can be factored in with design edits, since most companies will accommodate the disabled if you ask.

[@beansrgd]

These are great ideas for people who like to play with their 60-80,000.$ Adorable, diverse and great for a pit stop on your way to your mansion.

[@BillyBob-cx1kb]

Love that bamboo my friend had some in his back yard it grows an spreads fast you have to dig down like 25 ft to get it out verry strong

[@dianagerhardt526]

These are awesome. Would be nice for people who really can't afford regular homes

[@milcotto4153]

How do you keep critters and raccoons from living under those houses and do a lot of damage to them from underneath the floors? And how do you prevent flood water to enter the houses when they are sitting on the ground or just a few inches above groundlevel? You could also end up with a pool of water underneath the houses from rainwater running down and under them. And you also need access to the houses from underneath them for a number of reasons. Floorboards or floor joist rotting from moisture in the ground being one of them. The foundation is everything on a house. If that is not done correctly, the house will soon be damaged.

[@NA-dh3dn]

Wow, some finally affordable 🙌!. Who knew that this was possible

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

Depends on your definition of affordable. Prices were never displayed.

[@MrTortureandtorment]

Wonderfull ideas for living. Great video. Municipal laws should allow these type of structures. Bureaucracy rains supreme almost wherever you live. It is really too bad.

[@redwolfexr]

The problem is that if you open the laws to allow the "nice" prefabs.. you also open it to the junky ones that lower your property values as well. "I took the wheels off, it is not an RV on a lot in the middle of downtown.. it is NOW a tiny home." Towns got tired of people figuring out loopholes in the letter of the law. So they are a PITA now to work with.

[@nilajahmanley6988]

[@glmn77]

Haus.me sounds the most intriguing & long-term eco-friendly. But I like wood (grass) so the bamboo built structures are nice.

[@Hunglikeagrimsmo]

I looked into shipping container homes around the same time this video came out and they were about twice the price to have built than a timber frame slab on grade home. Nowadays they're even more expensive and extremely inefficient. They hold moisture like crazy and mold super easy due to all the moisture which is one of many reasons Canada has banned container homes

[@JM-de2gh]

It's so true. These houses are so expensive AND small; and nothing is greener than using trees to build a house.

The Hex House is cool because you can form cool fractals from them.

[@michaeldesilvio9980]

Abandoned castles, mansions, domes, hospitals, apartment buildings, airports, amusement parks, ski resorts, skyscrapers, islands, cities everywhere. Why aren't there any abandoned homeless shelters or tent cities? I noticed that every episode of Scooby Doo had a villain that was trying to scare people off the land. 👻

[@shanequigley7552]

The A frame looks great

[@justinmileman7863]

All very cool. However, with the off-grid mobile home that has the roof covered in solar panels be SURE to check your local laws before you buy one. NOT all places will allow it, especially near flight paths, because the reflected glare can blind pilots. As my uncle found out some years ago when he tried to solar-panel his roof, even someone on a property many miles from anywhere can be legally ordered to cover or take down the panels, if it's felt the reflected glare will present any danger to pilots.

[@roberttaylor5190]

disabled vets like myself would love it.

[@Itried20takennames]

My childhood home had a spot by our couch where the wall was always cold in winter. During a remodeling years later, found out the reason was the builder had nailed up and finished the dry wall with no insulation in that spot…likely when the builders ran out. I guess this could happen in prefab too, but seems like more likely not to do this.

[@sigmacentauri6191]

Hell ya the Haus.Me comes with atmospheric water generation. Free the technology!

[@Ekitchi0]

You'll never have enough electricity without hooking it to the grid. Getting water from the air is extremely energy intensive and cost many times more in electricity than it would cost to simply buy the water. Atmospheric water is a scam, it works, but it's never worth it.

[@maryannkom299]

[@williammcdaniel7470]

This is such a neat idea.....homes of the future i think.

[@SCIFIguy64]

Nah, prefab's have been a thing since the Sear's catalog would pack everything onto a rail car for homesteaders. Issue is these homes can only be built so big, and while they are cheaper than other homes in material and construction costs, the set up costs aren't much different. Those being the land, utility planting, foundation and taxes. Building the house proper is really a third of the cost of building a home, and until that becomes cheaper, these homes likely won't be more than a niche actively pursued rather than substituted over conventional homes.

[@user-lu2tb9nc3x]

@@SCIFIguy64 you forgot the red tape items like permits, inspections, etc. Plus, need to check land/ neighborhood, zoning if prefabs are even allowed (can fall into category of manufactured homes).

[@joyceanderson8045]

This is good information. Could you give the ranges of pricing in your next video.

[@IraQNid]

I was watching this again when I heard the Taxi theme song in the jazz music for the last clip. About the home designed in Germany that doesn't need to be tied down or anchored in the ground...it makes me wonder if Germany gets many twisters like we do here in the USA? Can you say Gone with the Wind? Or Wizard of Oz?

[@SenselessUsername]

The Avrame makes it look better, yes... "Here's your roof, we forgot the underlying house tho".

[@StoneXue]

Some interesting thoughts and its good to see people working to innovate but mostly these are not practical and cost up to twice as much per sqft than a stick built or in particular big brand modular house (not trailer). If you want to pay a heavy premium for design go ahead but these are generally not built any better than a big brand modular and for the price of some of those 500ish sqft units you can get 1000sqft in a big brand modular. And if you want one of those hex houses, you may as well just get a mobile and put it on a foundation. You could easily save a bunch of money and get a house that is just as well built if not better.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

That's not really true from what people who worked there said...

Paying more for the ability to have a house exactly the way you want it as far as style, floor plan, materials, etc

[@mossie1954]

a PRE-FAB is a much more cost-effective way to go. They are made in factories and less to make. If you buy a house your still in for a much higher cost, or if you build one that is conventional. If you can find a house lower in cost than a pre fab...good luck.

[@lorielhassani]

Actually...some of us have land but no house on it. Why would we buy an already built house somewhere else?

[@kishores.r4372]

Itrs not as easy as it sounds. Many people are not aware that you will require licensed contractor in most states to get city or county permit. You may also need forklift or crane to reach heights in mosty cases. You will need licensed electrician and licensed plumber. Check out before jumping into frying pan. If seller promises to help with permits and contractors then it will be fine. Just be careful as building departments are very choosy on R-value factors besides few others.
