Seed Eco-Home Swarm Build

OSE has run a successful 5 day build of the Seed Eco-Home - for the shell. Interior was finished later. We are improving our methods for various milestones:

1. 24-person, highly trained crew via the core OSE apprenticeship - to build a house seamlessly in 5 days, to move-in ready.
2. The above paves the way for MicroHouse swarm builds - absolutely complete finish in 15 days, with 2/3 time on education and 1/3 time on build, with content geared for people intending to learn the most efficient, state of art techniques sufficient for building a modern, advanced home at the highest possible efficiency and lowest cost - either as an enterprise (we train apprentices) or for one's own build. We envision 15 days, 48 people, with 24 apprentices and 24 general public. Includes a survey of all tools and techniques in the full build including landscaping, utilities, PV, cabinets, heat pump, heat storage.
3. A 24/24 guide/general public or team-building event - full build in 5 days, with most time spent on teamwork, not learning. Based on detailed plans, but simplified build techniques - meaning that some parts are prepared ahead of time.

Apprenticeship Expectations

We expect to take the house down from an initial 3000 hours of build time (any time not spent learning, but actually executing - where a 3-4:1 ratio of learning to doing is applied. 3000 hours means 24*8=200 hours per day, for 15 days To continue to develop and evolve the build to the most radical, collaboratively. To be able to scale to full village builds on the time scale of a week.

This is our Civilization Design Track - cultivating the highest level of responsibility, the elite track. The Civilization Builder Track is 1:1 learning:doing ratio. This means that the students learn to build and innovate.

Each person, in 4 years, learns to swarm design, swarm build, swarm document, and be part of a team that innovates on collaborative build technique. This is relevant because inefficiency is tax. And tax is inefficiency. To create a new world of self-determination, we need to get beyond this current status quo. Each person is expected to become a desing-builder who can document and push forward the state of art, in order to innovate. And we expect everyone to do that both alone, and as part of a much larger team that transitions the world from proprietary to collaborative.

General Public Expectations

To learn how to build an advanced, modern, state of art house from start to finish. Engage in rapid learning. For those who have a serious intent of building their own house. People must qualify, by gaining a reality check on what is required to build a whole house.
