Rapid Learning Facility Proposal

Narrative

The current program of OSE is building an Apprenticeship program to a core model of 24 builders who build one house in 5 days on an ongoing basis. Given the robust build cost of $85k in materials and labor (75% proven) for a 1000 hour build of a 1300 sf Seed Eco-Home at $60k materials budget that includes the 6kW of rooftop photovoltaics - we expect this system to be highly scalable.The 24 person crew is expected to produce about 50 homes per year, such that if the core staff modules of 24 each - of Integrated Teacher-Builder/Teachers-Students are created - a highly scalable staffing model is developed.

The apprentices are signing up for a 4 year OSE program with intent of continuing with OSE on a program of lifelong learning. They set their own pay via competency documented in the Rapid Learning Facility.

The Rapid Learning facility is a facility of about 16 dedicated bays structures for learning, documentation, data collection, and a

Once the single operation of 24 work-study crews is demonstrated,
