This is a wood framing technology, originally from Japan, that I led the effort to transfer to the USA. Essentially a small group of untrained people can erect an entire house frame in 1-3 days, depending on the size of the structure. The system is precut 100% by CAD/CAM--see that process here: uk.youtube.com Uses engineered wood and wastewood (glulams, LSL) and is very resource and energy efficient. It can also be much more energy efficient than stick framing using innovative insulated panels similar to SIPs. The framing costs, with full custom precut are about double that of pile of 2x6's and nails--Built in a couple of days, without any skilled labor means the final erected cost is about 20-30% less than stick framing. For those who might be worried about stability, Japan has 3 seismic occurrences per day and this system meets all japanese earthquake and typhoon standards. -James Scott Brew

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 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 many people live in these homes, perfectly fine. your just mad cause asians are better, well get over it
@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
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 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
@jukio02
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 wtf, ever heard of toyota? japanese people build the best quality, your just another ignorant america
my towns inspector would have a seizure looking at anything that wasn’t traditional. Probably urinate on these plans in front of me.
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
I think my house got built in a day – watch My Money Pit, parts 1-3.
this would be good in the uk where nothing ever happens.
this video is gay. not enough details
next: build a house in 3 mins
look “the real carpenter” and “the real roofer” !
and have fun^^
While I lived in Japan, I was amazed at how quick a building/house can be constructed. Vs the slow process it usually takes in the US
It’s like Ikea.
@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.
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?
i laughed at first, but thats actually pretty cool
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.
@otlh69 I agree. My parent’s house was built in 1906 and is wood framed. (Duh!) Still a masterpiece!
@purenoobishfilms I <3 MINECRAFT.
MECCANO! =D
