Hey Kerry, a shout out from Zennihome Citizen owner #12. My site permits are in the oven and Zenni is helping my GC coordinate the process. I was up at the factory last month seeing them put the last 20% of the build together. I can almost smell that new home smell now LOL. I found them right here on your channel when you first reviewed them. Keep doing what you're doing!
Those design engineering accomplishments for withstanding earthquake, hurricane, wind, and snow are mighty impressive. That takes them to the top of the list. Totally WOW.
I've seen the product models in Mesa AZ. Great product, and feels so much bigger than they are. Steel frame, steel studs, high performance surfaces, tankless water heater, etc. Sustainably built. You'll want to buy one as ADU, off-grid, or if like simple living, on any lot. Quality product, and I've seen Boxabl up close also.
I think it makes more sense to design and ship regionally, minimising design and transportation costs. Selling long distance (without regional factories )makes no economic sense . Base prices on these are reasonable. High unit production (25 per day) to keep cost down. Great design and esthetics are a winner for Zenni. !
The construction of a new factory is a big step, and it's great to hear that their base prices remain affordable. Thanks for sharing this informative video!
Kerry...we need a bingo card for this episode!! Lol..zenni is just killing it!!...every time I see their homes I think about those homes you could order from the sears catalog..if anyone can pull it together like that it would be zenni...hands down
@KerryTarnow it's from the early 1900...it was hugely popular...you could pick your house style, window design, trim and finishing, internal fixtures, furniture and they delivered to whole kit and kaboodle with plans and you did the build.a lot of house building tv shows have refenced them, such a great concept
Good news. Looking forward to seeing more companies stepping up their game with automation. Guess the Swedes are already up and running with that. Maybe IKEA will do something unexpected with prefabs.
FANTASTIC review...LOVE the way you combined everything, including the excerpts of your Q and A with the company rep...(or whatever his position is)..and so much important and interesting info. (Your kitchen and food preferences always make me chuckle too). These are another awesome find in my opinion.
Great, Kerry just plan old great! I like everything no suggestions or complaints of any kind it’s just great!!! I love it pricing and the look along with the quality, this is your first 10-10 video😊😊😊😊
Thank you again for all the information!! I'm excited to watch companies like this develop because I think it's the only way that I'll get to have my own home someday.
Awesome news on the Zennihome updates. That 80% of new homes in Sweden are built in factories is very impressive. Makes us North Americans seem pretty behind the times. Wonder how many hidden factory gems in Sweden that Kerry has yet to discover?
Kerry, this is exciting news! I may have to take a drive in that direction and check them out and then head over to Nevada and check out Boxable. I like these better! Hope you have a wonderful day. Once again thanks for doing a fantastic job keeping us informed.
Kerry, my wife and I toured the 2 zenni models last Friday. So glad we did. They're so cool and utilize the space incredibly. I'd personally go with the Murphy bed over the automated due to the 15k add on.
I visited the display homes yesterday. The build quality was excellent and they felt really spacious with the robotic furniture plus lots of natural light.
Wait, so I could get a put together mix and match with Dennison kitchen on one side and a Citizen on the other? Like, building your house then sticking a in-law/guest side that include a smaller kitchen. Personally I do like the idea of big house to have a 2nd kitchen. I saw 2 instance of this that I loved. A big-ish house my aunt lived, had the main at the front and a simple one on the back towards the patio. It came very handy for backyard activities. The other was on a 2nd floor, a sort of kitchen on the media room. Had a sink, a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and air fryer. Basically a kitchen without a stove. We weren't allowed down stairs once the owners went to bed and set the alarms. Both situations. Make me realize how useful having a second one depending on your lifestyle and the family or friends involved.
A forty thousand back order? That is a LOT even when Zennihomes can ramp up production. @4:25, once the modules are turned over to developers, the element of "affordability" disappears as they treat the units like standard builds and price accordingly.
At current capacity, 40,000 backlog at 3 per day = 51 years. If the other plant comes on line in 18 months increasing output to 28 per day = almost 6 years to work through current backlog. I wonder how many people will wait that long.
I did email them on the design of the citizen model. They added an entryway in the middle which took away space from the other room which i wasnt fond of. The original design cant be ordered.
I suppose we come from a different planet. 640 sqft for 125K that doesn’t include installation, foundation, permits, water & electrical hookups, delivery charges etc. Adding it all up and that’s one expensive small home. $8 per mile for delivery. And they don’t put it together!
How does the pitch of the roof play into things? I’ve noticed that everything has a very flat roof, but what happens if it snows? Can it withstand the weight?
I’m sure it can being a steel roof. But! The runoff would be my concern. I think their plan isn’t for wetter areas of the country and that puts me off. I would like to see a slant roof with 2 foot overhang all around.
@@kmichaelp4508 That would be nice. I wonder if you put solar panels up there, would that help with the run off? I am Texas, so it's either flooding or we're in a drought (ten inches of rain is expected over the next few days).
@@victoriamundae2570 , but are you willing to pay $2000 per square foot for a structure? I’m not!!! A regular house is $150. That’s on land, finished and move in ready.
Finally pricing that's not in the stratosphere, but getting tired of endless discussion of companies talking about expansion and the future of their company while finished units are few and far between.
😅😮 Top o the Evening to you Mr Kerry Tarnow 🎉 FYI I'm with you 100% on that lad- Zero 000000 Kitchens " I'm going for zero kitchens" Hahaha 😆 Unbelievable ❤ ( we can do 247 or 6 , chefs and all of that , my friend:);)
Always glad you found a new ( or old) company to talk about 😄. I would want 2 kitchen if I combined 2 units, so I could rent one out as space passive income. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻❤️
This is July 2024…..They told me they are sold out at this time! Will take a few years to catch up. And cannot deliver to Iowa. I’m already old so cannot ever get one.
All that for ONLY $2,000/sq. ft. LOL. It'll be great someday when supply-demand comes into balance and there's some actual pricing competition in this space.
No thanks. Ridiculous prices. I just commented on another that said “reasonable “ in their post. And that doesn’t include setup and delivery. Good luck with that!!!
I would expect at some point that Imagination Services and FEMA will post a contract requesting 100's of 1000's of homes to be built! Hopefully without any Famaldihide included! 😬
This is not meant toward the company you are featuring today as this is more of a general question. Do you usually vet these companies. I have seen so many really bad articles about tiny homes companies that have started with goodideas and possibly intentions but then are not at all what they seem to be. Enjoy your videos and thank you.
0:02 I don’t know who came up with the idea to make siding look like a Tetris game but it’s really ugly. Keep it simple, a solid surface or vertical/horizontal lines are fine.

Kerry is the man. Congratulations on your Zennihome!
@@michelecapriotti4412 Thanks for the well wishes! I can't get in it fast enough LOL.
That's awesome!
Congrats. Sounds so amazing. Can you share approx additional costs to finish, obviously not including the land?
Congrats!
Those design engineering accomplishments for withstanding earthquake, hurricane, wind, and snow are mighty impressive. That takes them to the top of the list. Totally WOW.
Definitely a nice feature
All these perfect designs need now is Fire Protection!
I've seen the product models in Mesa AZ. Great product, and feels so much bigger than they are. Steel frame, steel studs, high performance surfaces, tankless water heater, etc. Sustainably built. You'll want to buy one as ADU, off-grid, or if like simple living, on any lot. Quality product, and I've seen Boxabl up close also.
Since you've seen them would you put a Denison connected to a Citizen for a 3 bed 2 bath idea?
Hi Patrick, I live in Mesa and would love to check the models out. Can you share the address where they are located? Thanks!
Thanks Patrick, appreciate the feedback from your visit
I have been in love with this company since you first showed it to us.
Maybe some day I will be living in one!

I need to look those up, they get referenced often in the comments 🧐

Always enjoy your sense of humor and the videos!
I appreciate that! Thanks David

Cool product. Looking forward to see where they go.
You and me both! Thanks for watching
Wow! That would look perfect near Camelback or FLW/101. It’s very Scottsdale!
Nice looking !
Decent prices.
The ability to connect them together. 👍
Thanks for the updated info, Kerry.
No problem 👍 thanks for watching
Ooooh I'm here in Page, AZ right now, I'll have to go take a peek and also review the models in Mesa :)
They do factory tours in Page!
I’m intrigued. Those are really quite perfect from my view.
Thank you for sharing the information on this home company.
Any time!
Great, Kerry just plan old great! I like everything no suggestions or complaints of any kind it’s just great!!! I love it pricing and the look along with the quality, this is your first 10-10 video😊😊😊😊
Thanks again Kerry!
Looking forward to more up dates.

Great question l, might have to make a trip over there 🧐
This is a very promising project. Bob is going to make it happen and rule the space... imo.
Thanks!
Thanks Kelly 🙌🏼
Love layout!
thanks for watching Jilly!
Thank you very much for this update.
You bet!
Kerry, this is exciting news! I may have to take a drive in that direction and check them out and then head over to Nevada and check out Boxable. I like these better! Hope you have a wonderful day. Once again thanks for doing a fantastic job keeping us informed.
Boxabl is tainted by its association with Musk.
Thanks Robert!
Excited to see what Mesa looks like!
Same

Awesome, thanks for watching
In addition the builder Hewing - this is very interesting from a price point perspective, style, features, & maintenance 👍
Glad you like it
Awesome! My only issue would be the flat roofs and R-values. Cold weather + snow can cause serious issues, just like you said with Canada weather. 😊
OGM I have been laying my eyes on them for a while. I even planned to schedule a personal tour to their factory in Arizona :P

Looks like one to watch…Thanks…Poncho C St
You bet Poncho!
Hey Kerry, time to head to AZ. I’ve been enjoying your on site vids. CGI is fine but reality is better.
Ive got some cool in person stuff coming in the next few weeks, heading out on Tuesday. Zennihome wont be on this trip but hopefully soon
The part I like the most is that they are bulletproof.
A forty thousand back order? That is a LOT even when Zennihomes can ramp up production. @4:25, once the modules are turned over to developers, the element of "affordability" disappears as they treat the units like standard builds and price accordingly.
Yeah I was surprised, had no their waitlist was that long
At current capacity, 40,000 backlog at 3 per day = 51 years. If the other plant comes on line in 18 months increasing output to 28 per day = almost 6 years to work through current backlog. I wonder how many people will wait that long.
Yeah those are long waits. I think once they dial in the first purpose built factory they’ll start on another but it all takes time
Nice homes Thanks
Glad you like them!
These guys are awesome!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for info Kerry. I'm looking to start developing homes and selling them. Your info is the best
Thank you 🙌🏼
I did email them on the design of the citizen model. They added an entryway in the middle which took away space from the other room which i wasnt fond of. The original design cant be ordered.
Thanks Kerry! (Trying to help the algorithm)
Thank you 🙌🏼
Glad they decided to make it an option to get bigger plans because ~320 sq ft is kinda of rough to live in if you're not being super minimalistic.
That image at 6:53 is NICE!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great update Kerry 😎
Thanks Billy!
Interesting.
Thanks for watching
They should offer a pitch roof as an optional cap or topper. It’s one of the main elements of “residential” - to have a roof over your head.
Thats a good idea
Wow! Pretty affordable too… I really like them!
Glad you like them!

Have you looked into Zook Homes? Pretty cool
Will have a look, thanks

Zero kitchens! That’s funny
😅😮 Top o the Evening to you Mr Kerry Tarnow 🎉
FYI I'm with you 100% on that lad-
Zero
000000
Kitchens
" I'm going for zero kitchens"
Hahaha 😆
Unbelievable ❤

Always glad you found a new ( or old) company to talk about 😄.
I would want 2 kitchen if I combined 2 units, so I could rent one out as space passive income.
🥶🖤🔔👍🏻❤️
are these available to ship to Los Angeles now?
They have a wait list but are shipping out homes
Prefab homes in Las Vegas Available?
This is July 2024…..They told me they are sold out at this time! Will take a few years to catch up. And cannot deliver to Iowa. I’m already old so cannot ever get one.
Thanks for the info!

WELL, IVE GOT 2MOS WORTH OF HOMES TO LOOK AT! WAS IN UTUBE LOCKDOWN(AS A VIEWER!) .. BUT IT SEEMS IM BACK!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love this. Please visit for stacking
Will do
I would expect at some point that Imagination Services and FEMA will post a contract requesting 100's of 1000's of homes to be built!
Hopefully without any Famaldihide included! 😬

They're finding that the seller has toxic frequencies
I don’t care how much I like the home I wouldn’t pay $2000 per square foot for my wife much less a house! Just saying.
What is with everybody all the sudden thinking that you know anybody that's out of the 1% deserves to live in a box
You just said it right there really come to pass is that you reconfigured the boxes there two boxes exactly my fucking point
