  1. Cost to Build a House [2]
  2. Zip Kit Homes - $130/sf construction cost - [3] . They lay out steps to building permit. Good FAQ. Drywall,

  10. Pop-Up House - 1900-2400 euros / sq.m turnkey (US$209-264/sf) or 1200/1400 euros sq.m without interior finishing [11]

Open Source Projects

  1. Wikihouse - 1100-1600 pounds/sq m - [12] - $1466 USD / sq m - $136/sf.
  2. Vivihouse - [13]. Prototype, no product yet.

It would be interesting to engage the other projects in a collaborative process:

  1. Open Source balers for bale panels. How to process the straw to make it long-lasting? Is this a solved issue or an issue that creates limited applicability only to dry areas?
  2. 3D printed Wikihouse panels with 0 waste - engage Alastair on this, see if they are interested in polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC.

Custom Home Builders

  • $190-$270/sf, land and utility hookup not included - [14]
