Clever Folding Home Can Be Transported Anywhere & Unfolded in a Day - PREFAB HOUSE

I don’t see any advantage over modern modular homes other than perhaps shipping costs, but again their price isn’t much different from a modular home. The disadvantage I see is that their roof design doesn’t seem adequate for places with heavy snow loads. The house needs a peaked roof so at least some snow slides off.

Amazing!

What do you put under a shed?

is this the rise of disposable houses?

It would be great to have homes that look different such as round homes.🎉😂

It's amazing that the prefab house is very flexible and can be constructed quickly within a day. Very impressive, you have very professional construction techniques.

This is really innovative 😊

So thoughtful and amazing!

If l hear the word sustainable one more time l think lm going to scream

magic

That's an amazing concept! Any plans to make this concept permanent dwelling, up to council standards without breaking the bank? I live in Australia where there is a bad housing crises at the moment, many people looking for affordable concepts that fit council requirements.

In my view, the most resource-efficient and environmental solution to housing is to use existing land and existing buildings more efficiently, e.g. retrofits and multi-family housing with common elements.

Wow, this is an interesting design. Congratulations to you!
I'm curious to know the shipping cost to Ontario for the $200K homes. 🤔

Bro them house mad expensive what house talking about alternative 🤦‍♂️
Chupz like get real

Lol housing crisis in India. It's Canada that has a housing crisis.😂

Such a good idea how help people in need for a home in a hurry 🇳🇿

Too much money for what you get UNLESS you're looking to move offgrid, where doing construction can get a lot more pricy.

Sounded great until the price🤦🏼‍♀️! Definitely not affordable.

I saw folding buildings like this, only much simpler used by the military some years ago. I wondered then if it could be adapted to homes, and it's cool that it has been.

How does this function in earthquake country? How does it wear over time & use?

Yeah, hard pass when seeing the price - you’re better off buying a tiny home on wheels (convert it yourself or built from scratch). You can’t really say you found “inspiration” from India and manufactured something completely out of the price range for majority of the people.

False ..... You can't transport this anywhere .... It can't be unfolded in a crowded area have some common sense before deciding the heading .

Wouldn’t a strong wind cause these unfolding homes to fold into itself?

Way too much😢

SO SMART! LOVE IT!!!❤

Like the flexibility of unfinished, using local contractors, fully completed. Currently 3 sizes to choose from.

It would be nice to see a version of this that allows for a basement, a second storey, or both.

Really love the concept of this since we want to buy land and put a modern home on it. However, if you add up the costs on their website, the smallest model comes to around $200,000 CAN and the largest model is around $300,000 CAN. Both models only deliver in BC (CAN). Assembly is only offered within a 1-hour radius of a point that is not clarified (their HQ?). If/when these come to the US and are available for assembly anywhere in the continental US, let us know through another video. Also, the windows could be larger for some rooms, and it would be nice to offer skylight add-ons to reduce the need for overhead lighting, and also a solar panel / battery backup package (Tesla?) to power the entire unit.

Can all three designs fit into a shipping container when folded up including external and internal linings etc?

What a racket.

lmao.
Sure it's only 4 hour construction time on site which saves like 3-4 days otherwise, but then you have construction time off site which probably takes longer than a normal framed house.
Also the price is about 5 to 10 times as much as a traditionally on site framed house.

Giant waste of money and maybe worth it to some extremely rich person that just wants a disposable vacation home with a several month notice.

Get out of the big cities and look at smaller towns. There are some absolutely beautiful 3-4 bedrooms homes in Wisconsin in the $150,000 range, and no, it's not 50 miles deep in the woods.

This is somewhat similar to Boxabl.

Wow we think this is awesome. Happy New Year Matt and Danielle ❤❤

If there was a government in the USA who cared for its own people and not the leaders bank accounts they would be sending these by ship to Maui.

Another great idea.
Good luck. 👍😎

We need this in the US badly.

I can see how these homes can be a positive and negative building process. The positive is that it’s basically built very similar to most conventional homes, but the structural (wood) components are built in a factory which should allow it to be built faster, cheaper, and provide a more consistent product. I can also see these homes being positive for places where maybe wood, various other materials, and labor are minimal. You also have less traffic carrying material and a labor force to the location which is helpful if it’s difficult to access. There is also the fact that the home can theoretically completed quicker, at least the main structure portion of the home, especially if everything needed to complete the final project is delivered on site at the same time. Finally, the cost to the consumer should be lower than a conventional house since the main structure is built in a factory assembly line.

There are less downsides to this type of home. If the location is remote or challenging to get to, driving a large crane to the site will likely be very difficult, if not impossible. The cost of the crane offsets some of the savings you get with a prefabricated house. Building codes differ everywhere based on city, state, province, territory and country which might somewhat limit where you can install these homes as I’m sure you can’t modify your spec homes to accommodate differences in codes. The customer is limited to the basic spec homes you build. If you rely on local labor to assist with the finish work on the home, or building the foundations, that could be an issue if such labor is limited or nonexistent. If the customer has an issue with the home during the warranty period, which I’m sure you must offer, there might be a delay in any needed repairs given that a company representative would have to come out and inspect and authorize the repairs if the home is quite some distance from your factory. Unfortunately, given that these homes are all electric, that might be a nonstarter for many, as electricity is far more expensive than gas, propane or oil. Electric is fine if you don’t have access to natural gas, propane or oil, or if you plan to heat your home with a wood burning stove/fireplace, otherwise the cost to add sufficient solar will obviously greatly increase the cost of the build.

Overall, if a customer has a location with good access and, a labor force within that area, if needed, a prefabricated home such as this might be a good option, especially if they don’t want to wait the time it takes to build a conventional home and/or if it saves them quite a bit of money. In most cases, I believe it’s the speed in which these homes can be built as the driving factor why most people would buy a prefabricated home. It looks like these homes are also have a quality built you don’t see in some prefabricated homes. Unfortunately, where I live it’s not necessarily the cost of the home, but it’s the land that’s so expensive which drives the high cost of homes here.

Demasiado dinero sin duda

I’ll stay with my 22 ft customer made motorhome

Köpek 🐕 kulebesi 100k😂😂😂 Türkiye'de havuzlu evler bu kadar.🎉

The end result of these homes look beautiful! Thinking critically about the cost of homes and housing these days… with the labor, finishings, electric/plumbing, transportation, etc.— these are reasonably priced. The hard reality is that tiny homes for <100K are unfortunately a thing of the past unless you are willing to build all or part of it yourself 🫠

meh. 200k is a lot for a tiny house.

Really despise how something that was meant and made popular by people more interested in cost effectiveness, saving and sustainability has become so overinflated. Makes me sick, honestly. If someone wants to pay that price, more power to them. But to me, it defeats the purpose entirely, despite being beautifully designed.

How are repairs done?
