This option is the same as the Seed Eco-Home Remote Enterprise Option - with an addition collaborative development commitment towards developing a distributed network of Seed Eco-Home manufacturing locations for Factory Build Modular Homes.

The idea is to leverage remote entrepreneurial talent for developing a Distributive Enterprise around the Seed Eco-Home. We are currently developing the Seed Eco-Home 6 as the base model, with further iterations aimed at full productization. The concept is that of a high quality, well-designed, site-built or transportable, 720 square foot starter home with ecological features. Ecological features include stock 6kW of PV, and a thermal battery, in development. The autonomy milestone is for these houses to produce their own food, water, energy, and process their own waste. Productization aims for 3 fronts:

  1. DIY model produced by individuals anywhere
  2. A swarm-buildable model geared specifically for Extreme Build workshops and immersion education settings
  3. Scalable production with larger swarms - such as 10 homes like this being built in parallel with 240 people
  4. Factory-Built Modular homes - homes built in a microfactory and transported to their final location. This leverages the advantages of a controlled build environment, while mitigating building inspections via inspection at the microfactory itself. This is OSE's first explicit motion at an open franchise.

Open licensing means that all building designs, build plans, operations, and enterprise aspects are open source, OSHWA and DIN SPEC 3105-compliant.
