JUST RELEASED!! This New PREFAB HOME Will be Available in 30 Days!!

[@dalegereaux1863]

I like the use of steel instead of lumber, that's a lot harder for the termite to chew. 👍

[@Brineytoes]

I can’t begin to understand why all housing isn’t steel framed for that and many other reasons! Our building codes are ridiculously antiquated!

[@shelly936]

True, but not a home I'd want to be in when an emp hits the earth, a magnet for electricity. An all wood cabin is a safer bet.

[@KerryTarnow]

Very true!

[@johncummings9494]

This home, as portrayed, appears to be spacious and not cramped like many others on the market. The price is reasonable compared to other companies. Thanks for bringing this to us. Great job!

[@biscaynediver]

More than $250/ft isn't "reasonable," it's stupid expensive. Boxabl is between $133-$150/ft. This market is still priced like a niche market bleeding the early adopters. When it scales and gets real competition and burns through the price-insensitive early adopters, you'll see prices much, much lower.

[@josephschultz]

@@biscaynediver one can only hope. maybe one day,

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks John!

[@musingwithreba9667]

@biscaynediver costs for everything here in Canada are a lot more than in the US, including building materials and wages. There's not a snowball's chance that any manufacturers in Canada could produce anything close to the prices that Boxable or other manufacturers in the US can.

[@biscaynediver]

@@musingwithreba9667 Sure they could. The only input cost that really needs to be higher in Canada than the U.S. is labor (no escaping the excessive tax burden). Aside from that, Canada absolutely has more abundant natural resources, from lumber to iron ore. In rural areas, cheap land for factories is just as available as in the U.S. If your government wanted to be business-friendly, it could create enterprise zones, attract next-gen robotics, etc.

[@DeekJohnson]

Great job Kerry. Still seems expensive to me for something off a factory-controlled mass-produced production line. These are just a few straight walls and some basic electrical and plumbing. There's nothing here that's time consuming to construct. I guess all things considered, anything put out by anybody in this space should be compared to Musk's Casida build, no? Grade of materials, cost per square foot, + shipping + install. That's the game. Aren't they around 50k installed? If you're going to collect all this info, would be nice for you to develop some type of standard grade/table/charting systems to compare all these manufacturer's options against Casida and others. Maybe a pros/cons listing too. That's where the best value becomes self evident. Remember Sear's catalog kit homes?

I added up the numbers and it's 376 square feet for $75,000 US. That's about $200 US per square foot. Kerry: Would you please talk about energy efficiency in your future videos? Steel frames may be very efficient to fabricate and assemble, but it takes special effort with the thermal breaks to make a house energy efficient.

[@Tony-wy5ms]

Len great comment Our homes have continuous insulation surrounding the home making them more efficient than a tradition wood stick built home. Also with less movement and an inert design our homes stay air tight for a lifetime

[@RussSchoonmaker]

IMHO, the use of Zip-R exterior sheathing would solve/eliminate the thermal bridging issue and add to the R-value. This would definitely be a differentiator (as is the steel framing) worth promoting to potential buyers.

[@Tony-wy5ms]

@@RussSchoonmaker this is what we use

[@michekids]

Thank you for bringing up energy efficiency. I did not consider that as a potential tradeoff for the steel construction

[@Tony-wy5ms]

@@michekids these items are not tradeoffs they are all considerations Many studies have shown that the shrinkage of wood contributed to more energy loss than thermal conductivity of any type of material steel or concrete. Good building practice is to always have continuous insulation on the exterior of any framing

[@markvostrejs4337]

With prices barely above Boxabl, they seem like a good option but I am curious, how about 1) Shipping cost/solution that Boxabl has, significantly lower than most modular home companies. In other words, would I spent $25k getting one of these down to Texas vs Boxable for $5000? 2) Boxable includes interior appliances, as a day-1 ready montra, so if those things need to be added to this brand, that's another $5k to alot for too. (i.e. fridge, wall mount A/C, washer/dryer combo, dishwasher etc) Would be nice to see a deep dive comparison as I described.

@ 4:29 i would put the toilet closer to the bedroom, the shower behind the lounge and the vanity changed out to a deepdish sink in the same location. have a front loader on the room length bench closest to the shower. of course the bench will dip a little under it, to at least fit a storage draw beneath. spec fitted overhead cabinets above the toilet across to the shower. in a tiny box, space for storage is paramount.

Great video and content for the times where many are seeking alternative housing.I’ve been contemplating container homes, but was concerned about things like structure integrity and insulation especially in a hot south Florida climate. I like the esthetic of these models and especially the construction process. Anytime I see that metal can be used in place of wood I definitely am interested.. You’re a great marketer for this topic which you seem to take the time to research in depth. One of the best, if not the best video I’ve seen regarding the growing market. I’m a fan for sure. Can’t forget your brilliant sense of humor and good looks. A+++

[@JAY-wb2fv]

Kerry, question please. Why don't any of these modular home floorplans have closets? Am I missing something?

[@RussSchoonmaker]

Good point! However, housing in many other parts of the world do not have built in closets. Rather the expectation is that the homeowners will provide or purchase their own cabinetry. This can be an advantage because each individual has the flexibility to select the size and location according to their own needs and rearrange whenever they desire.

Great ideas! But is the steel frame suitable for really cold climate, as in most of northern Canada, where we desperatly need this kind of housing? Wouldn't it be possible to replace the pre-fab steel frame with other pre-fab structures that would cause less heat loss, i.e. recycled plastic beams, aircrete beams, etc? Also, in northern Canada we would like a wood stove installation, because the electrical grid is either unavailable or unreliable. Would be a good idea to design templates for these alternative features for northern Canada.

What is the R values for this unit? What are the type of heating and cooling options?

[@johnvowell6348]

I was really intrigued by this company, especially the Medio model which is larger than the Piccolo model Kerry talks about. According to their website, the floors are R40 (good), the ceiling is R22.5 (not so great), the walls are R12. The wall insulation is terrible, especially since they're using steel framing. The thermal bridging through those steel studs will be tremendous without better insulation. I'm really surprised by this since they're made in Canada. We live in a cold climate, so this out for us unless/until they improve the wall insulation and possibly even the ceiling insulation. Sharp price point though!

[@Sync5121]

John, this is a 4 season model so very well Insulated. It’s certified within Canadian standards.

[@johnvowell6348]

@@Sync5121 That's really surprising that Canadian standards would say R12 in a steel framed building is adequate. Even my RV trailer has better wall insulation than that. I'd be willing to bet they would offer some kind of insulation upgrade if the customer would pay for it. Even a good cold weather window will be up to R7-8.
