The Builder Crash Course is aimed at learning to build a house by building one as part of a parallel build swarm - including foundation, plumbing, electrical, heat pump, roof, flooring, photovoltaic power, utilities, thermal battery, geothermal, and biodigester. The bill of materials is under $40k for the high quality, expandable starter home which we will be building in the Builder Crash Course:</p>

<p style="text-align: left;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size: 13px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border: 0px;">This starter home expands into the following using principles of <a href="https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Elemental" style="color: rgb(34, 118, 157);font-size: 13px;border: 0px;">incremental housing</a>:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size: 13px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border: 0px;"><a href="https://www.opensourceecology.org/builder_crash_course_2025/" style="color: rgb(34, 118, 157);font-size: 13px;border: 0px;"><img alt="" src="https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/images/a/a7/Extended.png" style="font-size: 0px; border: 0px;"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size: 13px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border: 0px;">What is the significance? You can buy a turnkey house from us at market rates, such as the <a href="https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1005-Sycamore-Dr-Maysville-MO-64469/449940312_zpid/" style="color: rgb(34, 118, 157);font-size: 13px;border: 0px;">current listing on Zillow</a>, or you can build one for $40k in materials, to be expanded from the 720 square foot starter home into a larger home as your family, needs, and budget grow. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size: 13px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border: 0px;">What will we do with the starter home? We plan on moving it onto a real site, <strong style="font-size: 13px;border: 0px;">for sale, somewhere in the $60k price range</strong> for the brand new house - for early adopters - involving a financial model similar to <a href="https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Habitat_for_Humanity" style="color: rgb(34, 118, 157);font-size: 13px;border: 0px;">Habitat for Humanity</a>. If you are interested, you can email us for more info at info at opensourceecology dot org. We are developing a financial model to take this into production using a modified factory-built modular home appraoch, including elements of sweat equity, so that we could offer true starter homes at much less than the $200k price range of the current Seed Eco-Home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size: 13px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border: 0px;"><img alt="" src="https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/images/b/bc/Zillanew.png" style="font-size: 0px; border: 0px;">The current Seed Eco-Home is intended to be a starter home - but the reality is that market incentives prevent us from selling homes at low cost - as if we just sold it at low cost - it would get flipped and someone would walk away witha boatload of money for free. Our promise to the world is that our houses will get less expensive with time - by using open source design, parallel swarm builds, sweat equity programs, digital fabrication, automated materials production, and other incentives for people to build their own home. The solution to the housing crisis - is to build more housing.
