Great job Kerry. Still seems expensive to me for something off a factory-controlled mass-produced production line. These are just a few straight walls and some basic electrical and plumbing. There's nothing here that's time consuming to construct. I guess all things considered, anything put out by anybody in this space should be compared to Musk's Casida build, no? Grade of materials, cost per square foot, + shipping + install. That's the game. Aren't they around 50k installed? If you're going to collect all this info, would be nice for you to develop some type of standard grade/table/charting systems to compare all these manufacturer's options against Casida and others. Maybe a pros/cons listing too. That's where the best value becomes self evident. Remember Sear's catalog kit homes?

This home, as portrayed, appears to be spacious and not cramped like many others on the market. The price is reasonable compared to other companies. Thanks for bringing this to us. Great job!

More than $250/ft isn't "reasonable," it's stupid expensive. Boxabl is between $133-$150/ft. This market is still priced like a niche market bleeding the early adopters. When it scales and gets real competition and burns through the price-insensitive early adopters, you'll see prices much, much lower.

@@musingwithreba9667 Sure they could. The only input cost that really needs to be higher in Canada than the U.S. is labor (no escaping the excessive tax burden). Aside from that, Canada absolutely has more abundant natural resources, from lumber to iron ore. In rural areas, cheap land for factories is just as available as in the U.S. If your government wanted to be business-friendly, it could create enterprise zones, attract next-gen robotics, etc.

With prices barely above Boxabl, they seem like a good option but I am curious, how about 1) Shipping cost/solution that Boxabl has, significantly lower than most modular home companies. In other words, would I spent $25k getting one of these down to Texas vs Boxable for $5000? 2) Boxable includes interior appliances, as a day-1 ready montra, so if those things need to be added to this brand, that's another $5k to alot for too. (i.e. fridge, wall mount A/C, washer/dryer combo, dishwasher etc) Would be nice to see a deep dive comparison as I described.

🎉loves the prices , choices as even there other models are less than 600 sq ft yet roomy ! Ottawa is closer to Minnesota than most other offers in modular ! Love your focus n Aim as a driving force in affordable dwellings ! This is within range of most budgets ! Great 🎉job Kerry !

I definitely think the use of steel is a lot better than using stick lumber basically. Steel is much more structurally, sound and much more earthquake and storm resistant. And also the good thing about using steel if you can transport that whole steel shell a lot easier basically and then just place it on the property on concrete pillars or even stilts of concrete to elevate it a lot more or even put it on a Foundation

Great ideas! But is the steel frame suitable for really cold climate, as in most of northern Canada, where we desperatly need this kind of housing? Wouldn't it be possible to replace the pre-fab steel frame with other pre-fab structures that would cause less heat loss, i.e. recycled plastic beams, aircrete beams, etc? Also, in northern Canada we would like a wood stove installation, because the electrical grid is either unavailable or unreliable. Would be a good idea to design templates for these alternative features for northern Canada.
