Good stuff James. I will check out the full site. We provide free help to anyone thinking of building their own home. Check out our Channel at ArmchairBuilder. Take care and thanks for sharing.
There is no shortcut - someone has to premake all the pieces in order to get it put together quickly on-site. IE - You pay for it any way you look at it. The savings might be there (some) but if you plan on being your own contractor on a self-build house you have that anyway. Interesting...
In my country, which has sub-arctic-climate our houses are extremely robust and need to have a very high quality. There are no shit-buildings in Sweden.
hi everybody. I'm an apprentice carpenter who is interested in talking about construction with people online. If you are interested, you are welcome to add me to skype. thomas46073 is my username. I have graduated from uni but dont enjoy the white collar life.! im a motivated person who wants to make the most of my oppertunitys in the construction industry.
I haven't read all the comments, but here in the USA, we have houses like this already. We have prefab homes. They get erected in a day or week or so.
awesome... what a great way for a "do-it-yourselfer" to make a home. I'd love to know more... like how much they cost? how many house options are available? It would be real awesome if the parts were given out as CAD files and the potential owner could "draw-up" what they wanted their actual house to be... Linkon-logs on a whole new level
This is really, really cool. I've heard of it before but never knew too much about it. In the future, I want to build my own home and I think that this technique will be one of the best! Can anyone give and estimation on how much something like this will cost?
@antisora : if you give me a floor area, or areas and some idea of what you want built in I give you a costing per 2yard/metre or in total. Please include services as these, ideally should be pre fitted in kit houses and whether or not you wish to build or just finish.
the "explanation" of the roof was absurd. "install the roof...". really? I thought we'd just not have one. c'mon. The building technique is interesting. There was a show about building condos in switzerland. everything is pre-fabbed at a factory, including the foundation, which is similar to cement leggo blocks. Everything is plugged together on site. They put up a turn-key 4 unit condo of mid-range quality in a week TOTAL, including grading/foundation. Awesome.

I will tell you from experience, Japanese houses are absolutely horrible. Clausterphobic sized rooms, no natural lighting, broiling in the summer and freezing in the winter. Don't be fooled by the technology.
Because homes are priced in the hundreds of thousands, even building it with technology will not cause much "notice" to the price of the house. It is like adding $5,000 to $100,000.
They needed to punch press those boards and nail them with screws and not nails, nails come lose in enought time. Also conductor wires needed to have been run over to the trusts and joyces.
this is basically futuristic timber-framing. Considering timber-framing is superior in strength to our common stick framed homes, I'd go for this in a second.
alexross, you clearly don't understand. Us americans use "old" technology. the example being we use friction fixed striaght nails for joints in our homes. whereas this company has designed locking hooks and load distributing pins. the idea that less is more is well demonstrated in this vid. also alexross, read a book. serious.
Shit !!!HOW MUCH!!! Whats stopping you from going traditional bracing with nails and Joist Hangers strengthening all the joints on a concrete base. just use the outter frame and roof set up and do your wall frame set up. !!!HOW MUCH!!! !!!HOW MUCH!!! !!!HOW MUCH!!!
they must sell these at ikea! i would maybe consider this an option 30 years from now when i feel they have been sufficiently tested for endurance. i can almost guarantee these will not last.
In Aussie we can stand most frames in 1-2 days, i imagine it's te same in the U.S. All joined to meet required wind & seismic standards. Not much advantage I see here over traditional methods but I think it does look safe.
I still like concrete. Sure it might withstand an earthquake but how about typhoons? Typhoons lasts longer and the heavy rainfall might damage the wood. Concrete is still the most suitable choice, at least where I live.
its obviously directed to specific areas , on the other side i still dont understand why plp who live in hurricane and tornado hotspots like in the US that almost every year get their wooden houses destroyed and just rebuild the same type on the same area instead of a ciment and concrete as you said
in the uk the material they are using for the walls that i quote (are so prescise they can be fitted swiftly) over here we use that stuff for temporary window shuttering and boarding up disused buildings,..... never for building in my experience because the slightest bit of moisture and it absorbs it and swells ...it might be different in the us because of different weather ..i.e more sun but personally i wouldnt build a dog kennel out of it lol
this just proves it. houses that are built this quick dont last. you see the old victorian houses that are still standing and they would of taken a long time to build.
In 1990 timber frame buildings accounted for only 8% of new housing in the UK. By 2008 that figure had risen to 25%...the number is still rising due to the growing concern about green issues..timber is regarded as a sustainable resourse
i had a house fire 2 years ago and it was about 80ft long that they had to fix and it took them 4months and a house across the street took 2weeks to make the house
I lived in traditional Japanese construction in the Osaka area for a couple years. Rattled like crazy during earthquakes but held up like a champ. It was at least 40 years old when I lived in it. Would LOVE to buy something like it here in the NE US.
Yes, it's cheaper, but I wouldn't want to live in a house which can easily get blown away during a hurricane, fall to the ground during an earthquake, rot and crack when humidity occures.
This is like putting together a home depot store shelves . If it's all metal it will works fine , but I don't want to be under the first floor when those heavy duty beams joints started to rot( termites)
I am a small time builder and see the eficient nature of this. Is there a manufactoring facility in the USA that prefabs this type of lego building style?
I see what you might be talking about, but that is more of a ? of what grade the metal is. Much of the construction is laminated beams. Posts that go straight up as apposed to split by floors. The only thing I don't like about it is the wall paneling. Plywood on the outside of a house is what gives it a lot of strength. I like the staggered joints of conv con. To many seems on beams. Not good for shear. Besides that I would put money on this being a stronger method than conv stick frame.
There are about a dozen of these homes in the USA without problems. In Japan (where they have 3 seismic occurrences per day, on average) there are many thousands...Structural testing performed in the US, demonstrated these homes (framing) as significantly stronger than 2x6 framed homes.
Then you are stupid, the Japanese mastered quality control 30 years ago...something US companies didn't believe in until the last decade let alone used. There is a reason why they make good products.
Check out when they were on top of the frames, the walls actually shook back and forth. Japan only goes for what is economically friendly, not what is safe. The only safety issues are the ones that are in corporate towers.
@alexross8 um, the house isnt even built yet, and your complaining that the frame shook? why dont you wait until they build the freakn thing and then complain, gezz, your stupid man. japanese products are the highest quality in the world, why do you think toyota is number one? why is japanese space program one of the best? why are japanese commercial tech one of the best? dude, get over yourself, you dont know what the hell you are talkinga about
When local houses are built, they can stand on the frame and jump if they wanted to, even without a top frame, and not a single wobble or shake.
Who invented cars? It was a German, in Germany. They were the greatest manufacturers of cars, in fact the best. Who invented the planes? Was it Japanese people? Europeans and North Americans invent most of the world's electronics, Japan and China mass produce them. That's all they are good for.
@alexross8 asians invented: paper gunpowder oil painting many medicines poison the school system olympics the alphabet system heated flooring calculator kite barbeque sauce bullet train you want to start talking about who invented what, we can go on and on and on. the fact that japan and china the third and second largest economies in the world says who is better today.
@jukio02 and white men the rest....airplane, car, computer, modern industry, well.....almost everything...who is better today? yeah china is great....slavelabours almost...making cheap crap...ripping of western countrys inventions and making cheap crap copies....and btw alphabet was made by egypt..olympics? emm..greece...calculator ...france
@kurtivasen china invented the first calculator stupid. look smart ass, if it werent for china, you wouldnt be sitting on your fatass right now talking shit behind a computer screen. maybe in another life you will do something more productive
check wikipedia...dumbass....and btw...inventing the gunpowder but not using it for mining or making guns and take over the world.....genius...genius....epic fail
@alexross8 and one last thing, the japanese will be the first to build a space elevator, because no other countrie will even do it or dont even have the tech to do it
@alexross8 Man i agree with you, this is just for lazy ass people that dont wanna take the time to measure and cut. Everyone that is giving you shit for this are stupid and most likely lazy too. Where is the skill needed in putting this together? There are 4 year olds who could do this, its only a puzzle, not a house. I for one do not like this way of building, it just proves that the world is getting lazy and industrialization is taking over. Please keep building the old fasion way.
dazman , you are full of shit....wish we had the technology here in the US, i wish i could build my house like this. those joint look damn strong. I have a physics and math degree pal
Ever loose your home to a tornado, wildfire, hurricane, termite infestation lightnening. Want to be the tip of the spear when it comes to preventing global warming?
Is your home owners insurance $800 a year but you would rather pay $174 a year these people insurance quote was this way and the insurance company reduced their rates to $174 because these homes just don't burn.All this and more is in the video. "Modern Day Dream Homes"
i agree, time taken to get it right the first time. those joints don't look that strong to me as well. i could be wrong but i like to over engineer everything so i have peace of mind that its gonna stay strong.
this message is for qwertywxyz...u really don't have a clue do you? I guarantee I could frame a house more sound, and faster out of lumber, than U could out of metal. Contrary to ur beliefs, nothing lasts for ever. not even masonary...ever heard of brick pointing??? go back to school pal. ur gassed up on bullshit.
What you say is true, but, this system they are using is very good. They are using thick beams and great engineering, like the omish build their houses ( old school with new technology). Theses houses, in my opinion, can stand the test of a long time. Of course, you cannot replace the roman way of building as it is proven through the decades, but this method is way better than the stick built homes you normally see these days
I don't know about that, my cousin lives in a timber frame house that was built in 1840's and my girlfriends brother lives in a wood frame house (Manchester CT) built in late 1700's.
nobody builds like that anymore, though. trees grow back. rocks don't. If everyone lived in marble, and stone homes, we'd be screwed. minerals are way more crucial than people think.
Hmmm. I don't think I would want my home constructed like this, but it is very interesting. Flying all of those beams can't be faster than stick framing. Plus, the studs are on 24" centers instead of 16" as well as the floor joists. This style of building seems unconventional, cheap, and flimsy. No, disrespect intended, but I have 12 years of residential construction under my belt, and I would put my final product against this final product any day.

The way these people put the house together , is unsafe for many reasons.
If you were to gut a house like that , most of the pieces would have to be rearranged.
A wooden structure without that many metal supports is more likely to be destroyed.
The way they put it together looks nice , but there are several things that people must consider when building these houses.

I see what you might be talking about, but that is more of a ? of what grade the metal is. Much of the construction is laminated beams. Posts that go straight up as apposed to split by floors. The only thing I don't like about it is the wall paneling. Plywood on the outside of a house is what gives it a lot of strength. I like the staggered joints of conv con. To many seems on beams. Not good for shear. Besides that I would put money on this being a stronger method than conv stick frame.

Smart , but unsafe.
I care far too much about our safety to have our homes being made Japanese style.

There are about a dozen of these homes in the USA without problems. In Japan (where they have 3 seismic occurrences per day, on average) there are many thousands...Structural testing performed in the US, demonstrated these homes (framing) as significantly stronger than 2x6 framed homes.

Then you are stupid, the Japanese mastered quality control 30 years ago...something US companies didn't believe in until the last decade let alone used. There is a reason why they make good products.

@alexross8 wtf, ever heard of toyota? japanese people build the best quality, your just another ignorant america

I am Canadian, not American.
Japanese don't build the best quality.
Check out when they were on top of the frames, the walls actually shook back and forth. Japan only goes for what is economically friendly, not what is safe. The only safety issues are the ones that are in corporate towers.

@alexross8 um, the house isnt even built yet, and your complaining that the frame shook? why dont you wait until they build the freakn thing and then complain, gezz, your stupid man. japanese products are the highest quality in the world, why do you think toyota is number one? why is japanese space program one of the best? why are japanese commercial tech one of the best? dude, get over yourself, you dont know what the hell you are talkinga about

When local houses are built, they can stand on the frame and jump if they wanted to, even without a top frame, and not a single wobble or shake.
Who invented cars? It was a German, in Germany. They were the greatest manufacturers of cars, in fact the best. Who invented the planes? Was it Japanese people? Europeans and North Americans invent most of the world's electronics, Japan and China mass produce them. That's all they are good for.

All I am saying is that the house is just not as good as the ones over here. Theirs is cheap, but it doesn't look safe at all.
alexross8 10 months ago
@alexross8 Man i agree with you, this is just for lazy ass people that dont wanna take the time to measure and cut. Everyone that is giving you shit for this are stupid and most likely lazy too. Where is the skill needed in putting this together? There are 4 year olds who could do this, its only a puzzle, not a house. I for one do not like this way of building, it just proves that the world is getting lazy and industrialization is taking over. Please keep building the old fasion way.

Ever loose your home to a tornado, wildfire, hurricane, termite infestation lightnening. Want to be the tip of the spear when it comes to preventing global warming?
Is your home owners insurance $800 a year but you would rather pay $174 a year these people insurance quote was this way and the insurance company reduced their rates to $174 because these homes just don't burn.All this and more is in the video. "Modern Day Dream Homes"

this house is fairly square-shaped. i'd like to see a complex 1 built out of this method, if it's even possible.

you are ignorant.
Roman buildings are still around from 2200 years ago. Obviously historical facts refute your ignorant comments.
Wood frame houses are bloody junk. Garbage built to be replaced in 30 years so corporations stay in business.
qwertywxyz 2 years ago
What you say is true, but, this system they are using is very good. They are using thick beams and great engineering, like the omish build their houses ( old school with new technology). Theses houses, in my opinion, can stand the test of a long time. Of course, you cannot replace the roman way of building as it is proven through the decades, but this method is way better than the stick built homes you normally see these days

I don't know about that, my cousin lives in a timber frame house that was built in 1840's and my girlfriends brother lives in a wood frame house (Manchester CT) built in late 1700's.

nobody builds like that anymore, though. trees grow back. rocks don't. If everyone lived in marble, and stone homes, we'd be screwed. minerals are way more crucial than people think.

I think if this same group of people constructed this home in a week instead of a day, ALL of your opinions would change.
phillipseric 2 years ago
Hmmm. I don't think I would want my home constructed like this, but it is very interesting. Flying all of those beams can't be faster than stick framing. Plus, the studs are on 24" centers instead of 16" as well as the floor joists. This style of building seems unconventional, cheap, and flimsy. No, disrespect intended, but I have 12 years of residential construction under my belt, and I would put my final product against this final product any day.
