How Did We Invent Half Price® Housing?
The Data Funnel
This helmet is called The Brain Bucket™
It records jobsite labor data, things like step count and heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, cognitive fatigue and other biometrics. It also video captures the entirety of the work being performed by the wearer, along with the group conversation of all the workers onsite.
Our cofounder invented this device and has been wearing the
Brain Bucket for years now, amassing terabytes of data from active construction jobsites and studying the process of homebuilding as a physical science. This one-of-a-kind data study revealed so many incredible truths, but one shocking conclusion stands above them all: Wood-based construction is the most expensive, most dangerous way to build a durable high-performance house.
We used that data to hack the homebuilding industry by completely reinventing an all-new building formula, from foundation to finish, incorporating ideas like reusability, recyclability, and minimizing the need for skilled labor. We designed systems that weren't dependent on having good weather or having one special tool or one special person to do any certain task. We found all of the vulnerabilities of traditional homebuilding and engineered them out of our formula once and for all. Now, we can build better performing houses faster than anyone, and we can deliver them to the world for Half Price®.
Welcome to the Machine
Homes being built in a factory is nothing new. But where is the affordability those factories have been promising us all these years?
Any would-be savings home buyers were hoping for gets eaten up by massive shipping costs. Every offsite builder shares this disability.
We solved that problem by making our entire factory process fully portable, allowing us to produce all of our building components real-time, live on the jobsite. This level of agility shrinks our finish times down to days instead of months and makes our cost profiles and finished prices unbeatable. The end of the housing crisis begins now.
The Rapid Envelope System (RES)
The difference between high performance homes and failing structures is the quality of the building envelope. This is the technology we've spent the last 7 years perfecting: rapid onsite manufacturing of fully weatherproofed and insulated structural walls, floors, and roofs, all designed to assemble quickly to become an airtight, disaster-resistant 500-year building envelope. Machines can build safer, longer lasting, more reliable homes designed to house a more reliable future.
Cutting the Cost of Housing in HALF
The key to affordable housing has always been in providing a higher quality building envelope without the accompanying higher cost of construction. Machine-built housing lowers both the operational energy and maintenance costs of homeownership while providing an air-tight, durable, resilient, and supremely energy efficient envelope. This is what makes Half Price Housing the one true silver bullet
Tactical Grade Construction
Brain Bucket connectivity means the newest person onsite always has access to the smartest person onsite, which drastically reduces risk and radically shortens new recruit learning curves. When no one needs to yell to be heard, crews can quickly establish tactical grade speeds and military precision maneuvers and keep their focus on safety and efficiency.
