Seed Eco-Home Materials Cost Reduction

Solar Concrete + 3D Printing + CEB

From MJ_Sublimation_Log#Fri_Sep_16.2C_2022

How to integrate 'scalable' = market rate with ghetto, where ghetto is not market rate? Ghetto needs to be brought up to economic power that the community value increases. That can include training the local community. Perfect place for hardscape via Solar Concrete, and 3D printing for vinyl siding, geogrid, plumbing, nonstructural lumber, gutter, roofing, and more. Work with us in low cost hoods, at $30k houses. To get there, we need a detailed cost analysis of trash + Solar Concrete + CEB. This must be sold. $2M investment - master's students or engineers to develop: $5k CEBs (walls cost half as much), $20.5k 3DP ($5k siding, $3k nonstructural wood including 30 interior wall modules, $1k electrical, $1k plumbing, $2k doors, -1k windows, $3k trim, $1k perv pave driveway, $1k Ballast PV Mounting roof mount -$1k for OSB, Carport OSB - $500. Trusses - $2k (steel). $29.5k. Landscaping hardscape: -$2k. Exactly 50% less cost.

Total $23k for these relatively low hanging fruit materials:

Solar Concrete

• -$2k gravel
• -$200 roof ballast
• -$2k concrete
• -$2k hardscape/driveway

CEB

• -$5k walls and other structures

3D Printing - $17.5k

• -$1k roofing
• -$3k vinyl siding
• -$2k trim
• -$2k lumber blocking
• -$4k - nonstructural infull of excess framing
• -$500 electrical conduit
• -$500 rest of electrical (boxes, mounts, other fittings)
• -$500 plumbing
• -$500 PV mounting
• -$1k interior wall modules
• -$1k interior insulation
• -$500 - landscaping block
• -$1000 - pervious pavement for driveway
