- Why has modular housing not succeeded yet?
Insights: kit houses are too much work for the seller, and are incapacitated by skill set of owner-buikder. The result is hiring professionals, which costs too much. We address this by running professionally-guided builds with negative labor costs - by optimizing the professional assistance part. Now how to say this in plain English?
- Another open source house project?
WikiHouse. OBI offering: 5x lower cost to performance ratio. Open Architecture Network. Habitat for Humanity. Architecture for Humanity. Open House from Portugal. This goes into the Kickstarter description.
- Popular statement on cost.
We turn labor costs into labor revenue. We simplify the design so it's designed to be easy to build. We optimize material waste - from average 20% waste to 5%. We reduce materials cost by open materials harvested in site (brick, lumber, and insulation.)
R&D Points
- Lowest cost electric option - DC power center + night time TEG. Outcome: costing of components for a minimum system.
