Yes, these are nice. Good job. Possibly bringing their cost down from $202/sq ft to $135/sq ft and then they’re competitive with the BOXABL CASITAS. $50000/375 = $135/sq ft.

If this company is able to produce and deliver, it could be a game changer. Esspecially with the ability to scale up to thousands of Sq. Feet to hundreds for smaller needs. For places like Canada, where housing is out of control and the cost of trades are through the roof, things like this could allow for people to build homes or a family home. I'll be interested to see how this company grows and expands and if they can deliver. Kerry, keep us all updated, please, as this company continues to grow and go or if they go bust. Hopefully, they grow and bring forward what they say, but let's see.

I think panelized construction is a great way to build. Why it is used mostly in commercial construction is a mystery. Hopefully the new panels will be fully insulated with a finished interior wall that eliminates as much wood as possible. Steel is great. I'd like to see lightweight polymer concrete come into play for exteriors.

Uh, looks like they need a professional designer on the project. I saw in the model home the refrigerator power cord wrapped from behind and plugged into an adjacent wall in plain view instead of traditionally out of sight behind the refrigerator. And this is in the "show the world" model unit. Sloppy placement. Also, the interior walls look tremendously cheap and lack quality as they look like you went down to Home Depot and threw up some antiqued wood panels. In my opinion it seems as if this team needs some instruction in interior design. And we don't have to have a degree in design to know if we like what we see or not.

I live in a 400 ft² home and love it. I have spent probably 12 years exploring home build options-- what is presented here is the very best I have seen to date! I am so excited about this and have a friend I'm going to refer to explore purchasing one of these homes. Thanks so much for doing this type of homework 😉, and information sharing! ❤🙏

"Affordable housing worldwide! We're currently at about $202 per square foot. Here's a $129,000 unit." ... Ummmm, is this a joke?! Does this founder realize the average income worldwide is about $1.75 per day?!

$200 a square foot doesn't mean a lot to the average person. What does that mean in terms of average home size? 56.000 to 200,000. This means everyone can have a home? Really? You folks need to start thinking outside the box if you really want to house the majority of the populace.

Our approach to government regulation is simple "you are either for housing or against it". Each governmental agency having jurisdiction will have to make the choice whether they want to provide a cost-effective housing solution to their constituents of their districts or answer to those constituents.

Affordable, to most middle to low income people, I think affordable is closer to $60,000 for a two bedroom one and a half bath basic simple home with only the necessities. A senior citizen living on Social Security is what I would consider for someone to be the goal for affordability

You are spot on. I keep seeing these prefab companies pop up but non of them are actually affordable. They are just jumping on the trend of minimalist housing for the rich. I can get a single wide for less than a 100k that are larger than the largest steel prefab but that’s still not affordable for a lot of people, but you are not going to get a rich person to buy a single wide even if it is essentially the same thing as these new prefab homes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Simple Design Improvement: you need a really slim base cabinet (12 inches or less) that separates the Oven from the Washer/Dryer. Kitchen designs where appliances touch each other look shabby. Even if that means taking from the width of the floor-to-ceiling Pantry or from other living space.

@MuShinnen
@MuShinnen 9 ай бұрын
Which is great for you, but those are not actively available as an option for everyone. In some areas barndominiums are outright illegal. Your definition of cheap as compared to someone else's is also liable to be different. 135 a square foot for a custom built house that isn't a repurposed structure is far cheaper than many other offerings.

I'm looking at a "box for you" kind of modular....Where you can buy the panels to build a section and "bolt" it to another box made of said panels. Steel vs. Wood is not the worry for me. Taking some basic square boxes that are wired/plumbed and bolting them together to form a semi finished unit that can be detailed out with interior walls, cabinets and appliances. I'm a DIY guy and want some control over how my finishes are done.
