The bigger the house, the more boxes it needed. It would take them half the time to build a house once the boxes arrived at the site. The owner's had a large (6000+ SF) house that was stunning.

But those houses still relied on lumber and hence had all the downsides of a lumber house (i.e., they would burn, get termites, etc).

Keep this thread updated because I'd love to see more of your houses as you get them built.

Thanks Mark!

I remember that type of construction and the time saved was immense. The first design we are using can ostensibly be finished in 2 weeks once the containers are placed. It's pretty incredible. The challenge will, of course, be the inspectors. For the entry level we are going to standardize as much as possible without going completely Henry Ford (You can have any color Model T you want as long as it's black.)

I firmly believe that everyone will feel better about themselves in nice surroundings and help improve the general conditions of their neighborhoods if their pride is increased.

I'll definitely keep everything posted once the real work starts next week.
