Build A House In 2 HOURS?? FOLDABLE Modular Homes - YouTube
Channel: Kristina Smallhorn
[0]
so you're gonna get a house here in this
[2]
spot and from a factory in less than 24
[4]
hours say what basically you can have a
[6]
house like delivered to you in no time
[9]
flat by the time it gets there you could
[11]
go out to lunch and have your house
[13]
built for you you're really learning
[14]
more about boxing and how they are able
[16]
to do this and how incredibly
[19]
cost-effective it is so what kind of
[21]
homes are these I mean we know of the
[23]
traditional stick-built homes and we
[25]
know about manufactured homes and we
[27]
know about modular homes but what the
[29]
heck did these fall under cuz they
[31]
travel on the road and I don't know I'll
[33]
have them explain it to you these things
[35]
really like stereo instructions the way
[37]
we look at stick building is kind of
[38]
like a pre industrial solution a pre
[41]
factory solution so it's really the most
[45]
inefficient way to do things this one at
[47]
a time out in in the field using hand
[50]
tools you know it's dangerous and slow
[54]
and one of the reasons factory building
[57]
hasn't taken over housing is because of
[59]
the size and we think you solve that so
[62]
hopefully we can move into a
[63]
post-industrial age of a building
[66]
construction that is you know a faster
[70]
and lower cost and more more efficient
[74]
and uses factories and automation and
[76]
what we're building is gonna be modular
[79]
certified Huggy is all code wireman of
[83]
HUD is that you have a some kind of
[86]
trailer system wheel system on it now so
[89]
it would be nice to get that
[90]
certification as well for our units but
[93]
I'm not sure if we're gonna be able to
[95]
because we don't have this trailer
[97]
chassis on it I've talked a little bit
[99]
to them about that well right now they
[102]
will be certified as modular buildings
[104]
so we go state-by-state
[105]
and get that modular approval and then
[108]
that basically all the inspections are
[110]
done in the factory it makes things a
[111]
little bit easier for the Builder but
[113]
they're built to the same or higher
[115]
standards as regular stick-built
[118]
traditional financing is no problem
[121]
whereas HUD there's a lot of stigma with
[124]
manufactured homes and they're supposed
[127]
to be a lower quality to them and
[129]
like that all that sounds well and good
[131]
but everybody knows that shipping on
[133]
anything is super expensive and if
[136]
anybody's ever driven down the road and
[137]
seen a double-wide or even a modular
[140]
home going down the road they take up
[141]
about half the road and clog up traffic
[144]
and why they decide to do those at five
[146]
o'clock in the afternoon in the middle
[147]
of traffic it makes no sense to me but I
[150]
don't make the rules first thing is if
[152]
you can't ship affordably it's hard to
[155]
build in a factory so that the cost of
[157]
shipping and oversize loads is very high
[159]
and it means that modular in a lot of
[161]
cases is more expensive than stick
[163]
though which is unfortunate better to
[165]
build in a factory so once we dialed in
[169]
that that shipping problem now we can
[171]
ship totally highway legal loads or
[175]
shipping two to three times more square
[178]
footage per load on top of being highly
[180]
illegal and we don't need that the
[183]
follow car is the extra permitting well
[185]
that kind of stuff almost all new
[187]
construction comes with drywall and if
[190]
you're gonna be shipping a house of
[192]
course the drywall is gonna crack but
[195]
they've addressed that problem too
[196]
we don't have that issue because our
[198]
entire wall is like for example just one
[201]
wall it's all laminated in one single
[204]
piece so it's not nailed together would
[207]
lose pieces of wood and little pieces of
[209]
drywall that shift against each other
[211]
all goes back to the strength and the
[213]
way we're building the walls that was
[215]
one of the early tests we did was a type
[219]
of like wall bending test they do for
[221]
wind ratings uh-huh we are easily gonna
[224]
surpass the requirements to be in Miami
[228]
carrying out which is the strictest wind
[230]
loading conditions in the country right
[233]
we were super excited about when all
[237]
this testing comes in we haven't
[238]
finished all of it yet but we know kind
[240]
of have a good idea of what the results
[242]
are gonna be
[242]
be able to showcase all these test
[245]
results wind ratings you know all this
[248]
different stuff to show how strong this
[250]
products going to be so anytime you're
[252]
in a new construct
[253]
and you'll notice that anywhere there is
[255]
wet areas they'll have a different type
[257]
of drywall where the sinks will be or
[260]
the toilets will be or the shower will
[262]
be or the tub will be and that's because
[264]
this is what they call a cement board
[267]
and it's mold resistant and possible
[269]
found that out and that's why they put
[271]
that in their homes I'm gonna go ahead
[273]
and have them explain it to you is it
[275]
the same cement board that they use in
[277]
showers it's not it's called magnesium
[280]
oxide board think that some companies do
[282]
market it for bathroom use we could use
[285]
sheet rock if we wanted to but we
[287]
thought we came across this stuff and it
[289]
just seemed to have so many benefits to
[292]
it it doesn't you know off gas it
[295]
doesn't grow mold it's water resistant
[297]
that's very strong so how are they gonna
[301]
put this all together like what happens
[303]
when it ends up at the home site cuz
[305]
they're a bunch of builders there
[307]
they're connecting all these pieces
[308]
together we build them in the factory
[312]
everything's finished they actually fold
[316]
up to from width of 20 feet down to
[320]
eight and a half feet eight and a half
[321]
feet is the magic number to dramatically
[324]
lower the shipping costs then they
[326]
arrive on site you take them off the
[329]
trailer and a number of ways and
[332]
basically they just unfolds no I'd only
[335]
took about an hour to unfold each one
[337]
it's really you unfold it and you're
[341]
done I mean if you were gonna buy one of
[343]
these you would interface with a general
[346]
contractor who would help you get the
[348]
permits they would set up your site you
[351]
need to build some kind of foundation
[353]
you need to have electric water ready
[356]
and then the unit just shows up unfolds
[359]
plugs in and you're good to go
[361]
what about cabinets in bathtubs and
[364]
showers and stairs according to box of
[367]
all all you need is your couch and your
[369]
kitchen supplies I'm gonna ask them how
[371]
they do that even though the unit folds
[373]
down to eight and a half wide
[375]
it still has five feet of space that's
[378]
uncompressed okay so within that five
[382]
feet by the length of the unit whether
[384]
it's at
[384]
foot ones that we have now or up to 60
[388]
feet we can house things in there like
[390]
bathroom kitchen staircase fireplace
[395]
anything that needs to be done in the
[397]
factory
[398]
another cool application where it's
[401]
disaster relief so we think that you
[404]
know in the event of a disaster we will
[406]
have these off-grid versions built and
[409]
ready inventoried and then they will be
[412]
deployed to provide immediate shelter
[415]
after the disaster and then the cool
[418]
thing is once people start moving back
[421]
and rebuilding their communities they
[423]
can actually take the remodels bring
[424]
them back to their their let's say it's
[427]
a demolished building site and use it to
[429]
rebuild their house so that instead of
[431]
having you know FEMA having thousands of
[433]
jumped trailers RVs they'll be able to
[437]
repurpose these and rebuild their
[439]
communities with them so what's the
[441]
outside of these things gonna look like
[442]
cuz I don't know about you I like a
[445]
house like this I like brick and I like
[447]
a nice porch how are they gonna make it
[449]
look more personal and less like a box
[451]
so right now it's just a steel skin so
[456]
it just kind of looks like a flat wall
[458]
you can't really tell what the material
[460]
is and or what's going on there and it
[463]
looks nice like that we wanted to create
[465]
a kind of an architectural a neutral
[468]
building block and then anything else if
[471]
you really want to make it look pretty
[473]
or maybe match something else you just
[475]
you just add it on in the field you know
[477]
for example out here in Vegas we have
[479]
these big tract home communities
[481]
probably you know let's say there's 200
[483]
houses but there's only three house
[485]
models but you can't really notice that
[487]
when you drive in because they're all
[489]
decorated a little differently one has a
[491]
stone facade one has a siding facade
[494]
that stuff is just a little bit of
[497]
gingerbread they that you add on after
[499]
and it makes it a big difference
[500]
visually and what we're building is this
[503]
architectural II neutral Universal
[505]
building block so I need to know what
[507]
kind of roof we're gonna be looking at
[508]
here are we gonna be having ones like
[509]
this or is it gonna be flat or is it
[512]
gonna have tiles I need to know what the
[514]
roofs gonna look like roof right now we
[516]
a flat root system so it's like snow
[519]
load rated insulated flat roof system
[522]
and that's fine for a lot of climates
[527]
but not all of them some places require
[528]
up more pitched roof like where they
[530]
have really high snow loads and things
[532]
well you have a high pitched roof here
[534]
it's just that's what they require we
[536]
have so much rain
[537]
exactly exactly in some areas that's
[540]
normal and it would be weird to not have
[542]
a pitched roof so that's something that
[544]
you're gonna have to add in the field
[546]
and but again we've kind of lowered the
[550]
the burden for that because the
[553]
insulation is already done really it
[555]
would just be for the snow attic yeah
[559]
anaesthetics yeah
[560]
Matt your opinion what do you think do
[563]
you think that this is going to stay and
[565]
do you think that traditional building
[566]
is going to be the wave of the future or
[569]
is this archaic do you think this new
[571]
block scible idea is the solution to
[573]
problems or do you think it's 3d
[575]
printing 3d printing is cool but there's
[578]
a few problems with it and in my opinion
[581]
it doesn't bring everything into the
[583]
factory so you're still stuck stuck
[586]
on-site finishing things on-site which
[588]
is not really an efficient way to go you
[591]
can get the walls up with a concrete
[593]
shell 3d printing but then everything
[596]
else is just traditional construction
[598]
again so you're kind of back at square
[600]
one getting interested I'm sure you're
[602]
just like me when are they gonna be
[604]
ready to buy and ship we should be
[606]
setting up our production facility later
[608]
this year mm-hmm and that hopefully will
[611]
be in production sometime full
[613]
production sometime next year and move
[616]
forward and scale the company I think
[618]
we're gonna be able to bring the price
[621]
down and down and that's the goal of
[623]
this company is to lower you know
[625]
housing costs for everyone so right now
[627]
we're just planning to go out with this
[629]
initial casita module they're all gonna
[633]
be the same but down the line the plan
[636]
is to have kind of like an online
[638]
configurator we used back in a range and
[641]
connect different module sizes and add
[644]
on exterior finishings to make it look
[646]
you know the style that you wants and
[649]
we'll hopefully roll that out you know
[652]
the next few years and it will be just a
[654]
little 3d tool that people customize
[657]
their home with online and that's kind
[659]
of you know going to be the secret to
[662]
our factory production is that if we're
[666]
in the factory we don't want to be doing
[668]
custom work because that slows us down
[669]
so by building this system will build
[673]
the same you know kitchens kitchen room
[676]
module over and over again we'll build
[678]
the same two bedroom room module over
[680]
and over again and then the
[682]
customization happens when you take
[684]
those units and stack and connect them
[686]
so we hope that we'll be able to really
[688]
lower the cost by doing streamline
[691]
factory production where we're building
[692]
the same widget over and over again and
[695]
still allow homeowners and builders to
[698]
have what they want which is a custom
[700]
home so the first room module is our
[704]
smallest it's 20 by 20 roughly so the
[707]
interior dimensions are about 375 feet
[710]
this is the smallest unit in our system
[713]
and we fitted it out as the little
[715]
studio apartment so it's got a bathroom
[718]
kitchen couch and at that in it you know
[721]
it's a really great space we debuted it
[724]
at the Builder show in Las Vegas no just
[727]
a couple weeks ago and got an amazing
[729]
reception what I would say is recommend
[735]
for people to go to our website possible
[738]
comm slash reserve and add their name to
[741]
the waitlist we're asking for $100 fully
[745]
refundable any time deposit to kind of
[748]
hold your place in line because we've
[750]
gotten so much interest in this that we
[753]
think when we are online in our first
[755]
year we think it's it's all going to be
[758]
spoken for and the burning question on
[760]
everybody's mind how much is it our
[763]
planned price is 50 thousand delivered
[766]
to the surrounding states here automata
[768]
that includes everything except the bed
[772]
in the couch so washer/dryer fridge
[776]
everything
[779]
new ways of constructing homes but I
[782]
want to know your opinion do you think
[783]
traditional home building is going to be
[785]
the way it goes for the next 20 30 50
[787]
years or do you think that modular homes
[790]
are going to be the wave of the future
[791]
or even manufactured homes if you want
[794]
to know more about manufactured homes go
[795]
ahead and click this video right here my
[798]
name is Christina small morning your
[800]
real chick Whisperer and I tell you all
[802]
this because you matter
