Episode 2: Half-priced Hamptons

March 08, 2017

Modern homebuilders have taken the art of prefabrication to new heights where they can construct entire rooms complete with insulation, plumbing, and electric wiring all within a factory. These rooms, called “modules,” are then transported from the factory to the building site and stacked to form a home in mere days. In the Hamptons, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a number of other major cities, it’s now possible to build a beautiful modern home modularly for dramatically less than the cost of building with local contractors. In the second episode of a series on the future of homebuilding, Andrew interviews game-changing modular builders who believe that the future of their industry is factory-built, including Bill Haney of Blu Homes, Ed Mahoney of Cocoon9, Jared Levy of Connect Homes, Joseph Tanney of Resolution: 4 Architecture, Aaron Holm of Blokable, and Pat Fricchione of Simplex Homes.
