Where I live the Amish will build any structure for 10,000... Takes 3 days and their work is absolutely impeccable!! They truly have masters that take pride in their work!!
I’m afraid the term affordable housing will soon be unaffordable housing… these days you can’t have anything below 100k. Well, you can but there’s so many factors involved, land cost, prohibitive laws that limit which type of housing you’re allowed to built. Utility companies don’t want you to be off grid because they want to enslave you to a monthly bill plus taxes, and so many other factors. It’s truly sad and things need to change..
For older people that don’t have the strength, patience, or intestinal fortitude to build their own place anymore, this seems like a great solution! I’ll be looking into it in the future!
I see a huge problem with this solution. When homes are affordable for low income individuals, you then invite the homeless, thugs and individuals that don’t care if their community is clean and beautiful.

At up to $200 per sq ft for some Tiny Homes and small Mobile homes marketed today we are about ten years past the time we should be reconditioning and remodeling 70s and 80s units. As they are all built in factories, the systems for each type are based on box building and Truss roof sections. Moving walls for changing use of space is relatively simple and low cost as much of the materials can be reused. Buying a Park Model at auction or tax sale for as little as $500 and doing the work with just casual labor/handyman is very doable but I feel should be sponsored by each state in some sort of apprenticeship programs...Arizona and Florida have thousands of these units and many parks that are deteriorating before our eyes. A state or federal program could upgrade the units, teach Craft Trades and supply low cost housing and even homeless housing at a fraction of a Farm Home program cost as well as a chance of getting it through the Kochgress...
I remodeled the inside of a 1977 triple wide this year to have new interior, kitchen, and baths. I have yet to replace the screw tops, jacks, and pads underneath. One that’s done, the home may last 30+ more years.
You always have yurts as a very easy set up and affordable housing that will last plenty long enough to also build a sturdy and creative forevermore home :) such as earth ships or tiny house home stead’s , would be a nice starter with build own outdoor bathroom to use so no mold worries and toss it on wood platform so makes most of porch like space as protects ground level and so on :) we plan on putting a hot tub on one side and outhouse / shower / steam room on other side of a large yurt porch .. along with small outdoor kitchen in front with small table and two chairs :) it’s just me and my husband .. this is a forever lifestyle and home if you wish it to be .. and many build around it and keep it as forever main homes now who are young families, young couples and retirees:) This all being said if you wish for a more modern yet familiar home look to your house … and rather not build up or around it … and want it move in ready practically on day one, with kitchen and bathroom and all built in .. yurt may not be for you .. prefab will be the way to go then If wish to build own and already own a home or land area can build at .. aka not in a rush to move any time soon .. building tiny home or mud homes or earth homes is way to go.. tiny homes and mud homes most affordable but earth homes are most sustainable and more then a home as comes with indoor green house to grow with and out door gardens usually and self sustaining energy sources / water sources locally harnessed a lot of the time .. so hard to beat and worth the effort to built and wait to move in if young and fit for it as well as have a nice savings account or starter money. Good to you luck all :) I hope you look in to permaculture along with this housing project idea one day .. enjoy ^^/ and good day all
I looked at structures like these to use as an office/small A/V studio but went with a used RV instead. For $8,900 I got a 2005 32ft 5th wheel that's in great condition inside and out, has a kitchen & bathroom, a master bedroom that will convert to a nice little studio, ducted a/c & heat and plenty of room to write, work, take meetings, etc. I don't see any way that could be beat for the price range. The bathroom was definitely a factor in my decision because I've done the 'outside the house' studio solution before and I got really tired of having to run back to the house any time I needed to use the toilet, particularly during those late night work sessions. I've seen people take these and just live in them, with some adding siding around them to make them look more like a standard tiny house. For me, another great thing about it is that I can easily move the whole thing if we ever need to move to another house or if I need to be on location for prolonged periods of time.
The issue is that a lot of areas won't let you live full-time in a RV on your own land. But the solution to that is.. just move to a state nearby that allows it. Duh. lol. Not like where you live really matters any more with so much work being remote.
If you live on a fixed income or work remotely, I highly recommend moving to a rural area that has no (or a low) minimum home size, lax or no building codes, and few/no inspections. Outside of the east and west coasts, such places are fairly common when you get far outside of metro areas. This will help you immensely in building a home cheaply, and many such places are also very peaceful and quiet, and have cheaper land. Also, it's cheaper just to get a home built conventionally (though small) from an existing home plan because labor costs are low there.
I live in rural Maine where there is affordable land but I wonder what the real cost are when you figure in septic, electric possible if your on the grid and all the inside finish work. The clearing land and a putting in a driveway driveway. There are many "hidden" cost that add up so fast. Where is your land?
I disagree. I live in rural Colorado and it's outrageously high to build here. Labor costs are high, and it's almost impossible to find laborers. Getting materials is very expensive to ship to our area. Make sure you can find water BEFORE you build, having to haul water is a pain. Solar isn't working as well because our days are cloudier than they ever used to be, so a generator is a must.
3:10 Entry Level Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Summit Series is 14 ft x 18 ft = 252 sq. ft. starts at around $30,000.00 USD. Double what it costs to build a "regular" house at $100 sq. ft. (depending on where you live; this price could be a lot higher). We have to find ways to bring housing costs down and livability up. Glad to see that many people are working on this right now!
As a Canadian senior this is where my interest lies. I would love to see more Canadian small Casitas that are available and reasonably priced. I am about to sell my house and make this move in the very near future - like Autumn 2022! So please, more, more Canadian content - thanks & I'm subscribed and love your show!
We are house hacking and building our own shed to tiny homes on our land to rent out. It was great to watch to see different setups that we can build! Thank you for sharing!
Finally i can send you 'suggestions'! ok, 1st, this whole tiny prefab started out with tiny homes for homeless and poor, tired and old...in most states, mine is state wide 200 sq ft tiny home you need no permit, you can be off grid solar, composting toilet WITH NO PERMITS!!! needless to say we are a long way from that now! im sitting here with plans and can not find anyone that wants this small a job! can you imagine when it first started it was maybe 5000 for a shed with insulation and a couple lights for the handy man, and work area...closer to 10000 now, thats about a world away for myself on ssi...not to mention a homeless person that needs the sii and has no help! and prices upwards of 100,000...sorry if i rattle on, old peeps do that..have a great day Kerry!
As always your presentation shines! You're so creative and innovative at what you bring our way to learn about, and you present it in the most steadfast and intelligent manner. I truely respect your longing to inform us of different possibilities to smaller living lifestyles and the various ways for it all to happen. You are very well rounded and full of very helpful insights. You are filling a large void of basic info needed in small home living and pricing. Thanks again for another A+ video!
Amazing! Need to have a huge yard or land, which most people do not have or can afford. If you do, this is a great solution for family, friends or rental potential! I like the sleek lines and modern look!
Get married, buy a home with a yard. Have children, build ADU to rent out for additional income. As children age and marry, allow them to use for 2 years to save money for a home. After children are gone allow parents-in-law to live there, until death. After parents die, owners move into ADU and rent out big house to support their retirement. With home paid off and Social Security and/or Pension, it’s a comfortable retirement.
@@michelebreensimmons5713 lol, when my parents did it theirs, they did rent free and gave a time limit. My sister and husband stayed 4 years (2 yrs to finish college & 1yr to save 1yr to build house), my brother stayed 3 yrs (2 to save, 1 yr to build). I stayed 3 mo while house build was completed. They ran a business out of it for 2 yrs and rented it out the rest of the time they lived there.
Thank you for posting this. I have checked in Los Angeles a few companies who claim to build ADUs - and their prices are obscene. One case the price started and 160,000 and to build a larger unit cost $247,000 . These designs seem to be very modern, modest and yet with a great price tag
A bathroom could be in a separate module attached via a covered walkway. It would not impinge on the existing living space and is probably a lot cheaper option and could be added later. Kitchens do not need cupboards just shelves and a microwave, an induction hotplate and an air fryer which are all just plug in items.
@@justanotherhuman8918 I cook every day using a single induction hot plate and a microwave which give me perfect control with minimal cleanup.. In cold weather I often cook on my pot belly wood stove. I see commercial scale kitchens owned by people who eat out or get Uber eats.All those cupboards filled with things that are never used. Glossy magazine photos of deluxe kitchens untouched by human hands. Less is more in the kitchen. I can cook a rice or pasta dish in under fifteen minutes including preparation.
Not a great suggestion since microwave is out of conventional use being very harmful - and who wants to have a kitchen without the cupboard! The bathroom can never be outside the unit.
I've been watching Studio Shed for years. You can really customize the design with all kinds of options for window and door placements. And you don't have to go with their kitchen and bath. They have licensed installers and you can customize. So if you did just the bathroom, you could do, say, a mini fridge, microwave, and induction plate for your kitchen and save money and room.
Set up a composting toilet and then the only plumbing you need is bathroom sink/shower, kitchen sink. I use a countertop convection oven, 2 induction burners (Ikea) and a countertop dishwasher. I also use a small, portable clothes washer (takes about 1/2 what a large washer would). Lots of ways to whittle down costs.
@@davidleeattorney of the shed conversions I've seen, it's the same issue of cost/sq.ft. The bigger issue is the rising cost of wages/supplies courtesy central banksters funny money printing. Addressing the latter does the same to the former.
Kerry.....please review the arched cabin made in Texas. I like this because u get a kit that contains metal frames that make the walls and roof, basic insulation, outside metal siding and roofing, and posts that make part of the foundation. U finish the structure building the two me walls using stick construction. U add windows and doors. They include a ring to mount a round circular chimney for your heat source. I like this idea because u build the post foundation and floor......then u mount the metal ribs to the floor and erect them. U screw the metal cladding to the ribs to keep the walls straight. U then build interior room walls, plumb, wire, add HVAC, etc. I priced a 30by24 ft floor plan for around twenty thousand dollars! That's half the house! I figure if I finish it for twice the kit price, maybe I can get a two floor hose, land, septic, solar of system to get off grid, rain capture for water,......all for under one hundred thousand dollars!!!!!!.... What do u think am I dreaming? I presently live in new York and pay thirteen hundred rent and hundreds for utilities. I am on social security and must work a lot job to pay expenses. If my mortgage was one thousand a month I might be able to retire from the pt job and live on SS alone!!!!!!..... Please check out the arched cabin. They make kits sized from back yard sheds to humongous size dwellings. There are a number of posts on u tube where arched cabins have been built for rental properties, homeless shelters, as well as residential homes. I forgot to add the ribs can be erected in just a few hours!!!!!!!!!...?? Fascinating!!!!!! The housing shortage is a bubble and prices will drop next year. This is do to mills making more lumber available so lumber prices continue to fall. Also with the govt no longer doing qualitative easing, money supply will shrink and interest rates will increase. Mortgages will be more expensive. The only way for mortgage s to be written will be to reduce the price of the house! Basic economics here......I do have a bsba degree! I applaud your efforts at helping average people find affordable homes!!!!!!!.....regards,..a. barbuto....... barbuto@optonline.net.......
I was a builder and would constantly get asked what I could build a home per square foot. I would respond that I could build a home for $25 per sq. ft.... BUT bathrooms, flooring, kitchens, utilities and land were extra. I said this to convey to the customer that the cost per foot has much to do with what they want and need. The example at $125 per sq. ft. is what new housing is priced at in my locality including the land and everything that a new home should have. This product is not affordable as it doesn't include utilities, land, permits, complete finishes, etc. etc.
I really like the 6" insulated "Structall" system for this size structure, we built hundreds of them with and without utilities back in the early 2000s and people were moving right into them a week later. When the tiny home thing took off local permitting started cracking down on it hard and costs doubled in one year.
The options you present in the video are interesting. The term affordable is as fluid as the water flowing over Niagara Falls. If affordable housing is to become a realistic option for all, one casita just won’t do it. Once again, you challenge our imagination. Thank you!
While the price isn't necessarily unreasonable, you have to also figure in cost of tying plumbing and electricity in, as well as cost of clearing/evening lot and laying foundation. That can add a lot to overall cost.
Thats just the thing, I believe these prefabs are actually more costly than hiring a local contractor to do the build from scratch. These prefabs are very catchy to those who have a few bucks saved but have NO handy trademanship. I feel like the consumer base for the prefabs are ignorant to the fact that its actually more costly, but seems "easier" at the outa-box level. You would get a better local price by hiring someone in on the foundation/material/layout/build because they would be the same people from the preplanning to the finished product, rather than one company for this, one for that and having to que them in on all the project details since they wouldnt be familiar like the local all in crew would be.
@@ripptydevibes2581 You're wrong. Think of pre-fab houses as made of lego pieces and big factories making different lego house sets. They have huge production line and have non stop orders coming in. They buy all of their supplies in bulk and build thousands of pre-fab houses per month. Now compare this to local contractor that might find some plans for house online and will try to source different lego pieces for it. Since contractor doesn't deal with purchasing raw materials. He will not be able to find best price or best supplier that has these materials. Contractor will also not be anywhere closely experienced with manufacturing lego pieces from raw materials. There is no way that unexperienced contractor with no access to same prices and stock of materials can compete with big factory on prices, quality, production time, etc. Using your logic pre-fab car assembled locally by one mechanic would cost less than pre-fab car assembled by robots in huge factory...
Anything that can be done to reduce the cost of housing is welcomed, I don't want to dump on that, but here's the thing: We don't have a 'housing affordability' issue. We have a 'land affordability' issue. In certain situations could something like this help, absolutely, and I believe prefab will play a huge role moving forward, but it's still, on it's own, less than a band aid. And good luck with zoning, at least in most municipalities within Canada (As a secondary residential structure)
You hit the nail on the zoning issue. Not every city will allow any type of mobile home. A lot of the residential communities also have a size limit in the fact that these would not be allowed because they are small. They are less than the minimal required square footage. For cities the goal is taxes. They force you to build within a square foot range, limit the number of buildings you can have on the property and in some, even limit your choice of exterior covering -- requiring it be brick and no wood or vinyl or hardy siding, as an example. This way everyone living in that residential community essentially has the same thing. Now, when they want to squeeze more money out of you by raising taxes, they to what I call a blanket raise. You get a letter in the mail stating that your property value has gone up and so they will raise your taxes. But they never sent anyone out to appraise or value your home. So it is a false rise in property value. But because of 'codes' and zoning rules, they know basically what you have and so everyone gets the letter -- no matter the condition of your property. Just a money squeeze.
Great video. I’m working on a prefab dwelling similar to this and Nomad that I’ll be selling globally starting next month. I’ll hit you up as soon as I have completed the first delivery. Price point will be below $20,000 USD
The city in California that we live in allows ADUs but there are many city imposed restrictions, requirements, and fees along with the cost of the ADU that make it financially impractical for many of us.
Was looking for this comment. Most cities have specific restrictions and regulations, even smaller ones. There are also usually permits and inspections required. It's not as easy as just setting it up.
This is what I love about where I live now. We built 2 homes in Florida. All kinds of permits, inspections, fees, inspections on everything. But we moved to the Midwest to a rural area, and had none of that. We did have to put in a septic tank. That had to be permitted and inspected. Other then that we just were able to build without any hassles. We built with no banks involved, just cash, and my husband being in the building business just over saw all the construction. Its a beautiful custom built brick home. Of course it did cost quite a bit more then these small homes. It is also a lot larger. At times I do wish we would have built smaller, because we are now in our 60s and it's just me and happy. May sale and downsize?
i got a studio shed 10x10 with french door.. it was set up with their professional installers in a few hours. then we diy’d all the insulation, drywall, electrical wiring, carpet, paint, and AC installation (split unit). it cost roughly $3k to do all the finish carpentry and electrical. to grade and set up the site for the studio shed cost $800. if youre adding a kitchenette.. i could see it being another $1500. a fancy murphy bed will run you $1500. the studio shed 10x10 is great as a recording studio, guest room, yoga studio, Zoom meeting pod. i wouldnt recommend it as a full on ADU but it gave us a fully functional telepresence studio for around $11000.
I love this! How interesting. and it looks great! I don't know if our county will approve these but they would be a great solution. I would like one for a she shed.
I have looked at a number of these pre-fab homes and they are ridiculously expensive, which I just cannot figure out. Maybe they are more affordable in CA vs. the States.
We live in Las Vegas, where we are getting quotes for a one to two bedroom "guest" house 750 sq home, is being quoted @ $200,000.00 Which is the price I paid for a 2,500 sq home 5 years ago!! So having an option to have a pre-fab which is using materials which are resistant to heat and we can put solar too why the heck not!!
Can you explain the process of permits for a Primary home compared to the ADU installation ? And why some companies (Dwell) wont install ther products as a primary home.
I live in Mississippi but have property in Tennessee that I would like to put something on. We are going to start out putting our camper there, but it is so small.
Kerry please call and do an actual meeting. I was shocked at the price from end to finish. The final estimate was 400k with the pro builder. Mind you my local modular builder was 440 for twice the space.
When you do these which i love watching, can you include how utilities would hook up to them. Like is the plumbing going to an outlet that you can attach on side or is it under etc.
Kerry, great video on Pre Fab homes! I am very interested in an affordable pre-fab place. I would be interested in which pre-fab manufacturers have the LOWEST PRICE (for the value) plus, delivery in the U.S.! (anywhere) Is there a waiting list? Time to deliver? Time to pre-build?
Thank you for the info. I’m almost ready to retire and would like to purchase one of these homes. Please tell me how I can go about getting started? So glad to see you’re in Ontario. Thank you
Have you seen anything that could be set onto a slope/partially buried? Colorado is fairly mountainous and the areas I’m thinking of buying land have steep slopes.
We're looking to expand on our land ... To build a combination multiple car/ Granny flat. Any idea's? 4 cars a must plus family space. Oh we have one acre. Behind main home. Looking forward to your information!
Is this really any cheaper than just hiring a contractor to take care of design/materials/project at a local level from scratch? What is the fee for delivery and the total comp price to a prefab vs scratch contracted?
Great video once again! I’m going to be in Florida, more specifically Coral Springs area. Which company would you reccomend is a Must Visit? I’m looking to buy several.
Great video. I am permitted to build a duplex, each approx. 600 sq. feet.Do any of these pre-fab ADUs/Casitas available in duplex/stacked on top of each other? Thank you for the info.
Do the companies that sell prefab homes help find land lots that are suitable for their product or desirable to the buyer. I wouldn't mind a lot that is "close" to a beach but not on the beach.
People don't need more space, they need to stop buying & get rid of all their stuff. Cracks me up to see $100k (2 cars) sitting in driveway when their garage is over flowing w so much worthless crap.
@@ShortTermRookie I love in a national park 1/2 mile from casino. I'm messing the completion of remodel of my 1944 cottage. Was going I could sell high enough in the ridiculous market. Been rethinking that plan not wanting to buy high & renting as airB&B. Avg 7 nights per mo would cover all housing/ rental expenses & I could take off on my adventures even if it's just a couple nights local backpack trip. Give me time to find property. Also give me experience & rental history to determine if house should b sold out kept as full time nightly rental for income.

I agree, low cost is going upper. I'm trying to find a place that is not expensive. Can't move back to home town for that reason. Need to buy something affordable and big enough to have people over for holidays 🙃 😴 🙄.
On cost per square foot Prefabs are MORE expensive than stick built options. These things are not exactly "cheap". The base model, an 100 sq ft empty room, might look affordable. But pricing a simple 300+ sq ft model with bathroom and kitchette ads up to around $90k. That's without shipping, permitting, laying a slab or foundation, connecting to utilities...and you still need a contractor to do all of this if you're not willing to manage it all on your own... all of which could add anywhere from $30-$50k to the build.... maybe more depending on where it's installed. Even if used as a rental unit, that can mean many years before they offer a return on investment.
@@demesrvl6761 he didn't address what I said. The dollar figures he's throwing around are a fraction of the actual cost of these ADUs. There are way too many of these type of videos on TH-cam, which gives people the idea that it's inexpensive to add these to your property, but the truth is they are on a square foot basis often more expensive than building a typical house.
this has really taken off... they even offer things like this in Europe. ADU's are extremely popular and a homeowner can easily convert a simple shed to a studio or workshop... I have a 8 X 12 that came with my place and I have it insulated with heat and AC... its just a workshop, but really is nice to have it outfitted with electric service. its amazing what you can think up with a shed...
Thanks Kerry, these look super cool. I hope you can show various sizes and interiors in a future video. So, I assume these are in the kit home category, right? You didn't mention a foundation, so I assume that would be an additional cost.
I would be very interested in adding a couple of these homes on my empty lot next to my big house, The issue is that I am in VA. The USA and these homes are in Canada

The issue is investors are out-bidding locals. “so it’s no so simple as buy an older home and renovate it”
I looked at structures like these to use as an office/small A/V studio but went with a used RV instead. For $8,900 I got a 2005 32ft 5th wheel that's in great condition inside and out, has a kitchen & bathroom, a master bedroom that will convert to a nice little studio, ducted a/c & heat and plenty of room to write, work, take meetings, etc. I don't see any way that could be beat for the price range. The bathroom was definitely a factor in my decision because I've done the 'outside the house' studio solution before and I got really tired of having to run back to the house any time I needed to use the toilet, particularly during those late night work sessions.
I've seen people take these and just live in them, with some adding siding around them to make them look more like a standard tiny house. For me, another great thing about it is that I can easily move the whole thing if we ever need to move to another house or if I need to be on location for prolonged periods of time.
The issue is that a lot of areas won't let you live full-time in a RV on your own land. But the solution to that is.. just move to a state nearby that allows it. Duh. lol. Not like where you live really matters any more with so much work being remote.

This will help you immensely in building a home cheaply, and many such places are also very peaceful and quiet, and have cheaper land. Also, it's cheaper just to get a home built conventionally (though small) from an existing home plan because labor costs are low there.
I live in rural Maine where there is affordable land but I wonder what the real cost are when you figure in septic, electric possible if your on the grid and all the inside finish work. The clearing land and a putting in a driveway driveway. There are many "hidden" cost that add up so fast. Where is your land?
I disagree. I live in rural Colorado and it's outrageously high to build here. Labor costs are high, and it's almost impossible to find laborers. Getting materials is very expensive to ship to our area. Make sure you can find water BEFORE you build, having to haul water is a pain. Solar isn't working as well because our days are cloudier than they ever used to be, so a generator is a must.
What area?
. Ml please
Hey k .howl
California is not as tiny home friendly it is the worst.
3:10 Entry Level Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Summit Series is 14 ft x 18 ft = 252 sq. ft. starts at around $30,000.00 USD. Double what it costs to build a "regular" house at $100 sq. ft. (depending on where you live; this price could be a lot higher). We have to find ways to bring housing costs down and livability up. Glad to see that many people are working on this right now!
As a Canadian senior this is where my interest lies. I would love to see more Canadian small Casitas that are available and reasonably priced. I am about to sell my house and make this move in the very near future - like Autumn 2022! So please, more, more Canadian content - thanks & I'm subscribed and love your show!
We are house hacking and building our own shed to tiny homes on our land to rent out. It was great to watch to see different setups that we can build! Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome! I also house hack. Thanks for watching
Cool, I'll check out your chnanel
Finally i can send you 'suggestions'! ok, 1st, this whole tiny prefab started out with tiny homes for homeless and poor, tired and old...in most states, mine is state wide 200 sq ft tiny home you need no permit, you can be off grid solar, composting toilet WITH NO PERMITS!!! needless to say we are a long way from that now! im sitting here with plans and can not find anyone that wants this small a job! can you imagine when it first started it was maybe 5000 for a shed with insulation and a couple lights for the handy man, and work area...closer to 10000 now, thats about a world away for myself on ssi...not to mention a homeless person that needs the sii and has no help! and prices upwards of 100,000...sorry if i rattle on, old peeps do that..have a great day Kerry!
As always your presentation shines! You're so creative and innovative at what you bring our way to learn about, and you present it in the most steadfast and intelligent manner. I truely respect your longing to inform us of different possibilities to smaller living lifestyles and the various ways for it all to happen. You are very well rounded and full of very helpful insights. You are filling a large void of basic info needed in small home living and pricing. Thanks again for another A+ video!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind works 🙏🏻

@@KerryTarnow Are these net-zero?
Just finding your videos. Your visual set up is top notch. Anyhoo, this is just a line drop for the algorithm.
Appreciate it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Amazing! Need to have a huge yard or land, which most people do not have or can afford. If you do, this is a great solution for family, friends or rental potential! I like the sleek lines and modern look!
Get married, buy a home with a yard. Have children, build ADU to rent out for additional income. As children age and marry, allow them to use for 2 years to save money for a home. After children are gone allow parents-in-law to live there, until death. After parents die, owners move into ADU and rent out big house to support their retirement. With home paid off and Social Security and/or Pension, it’s a comfortable retirement.
Good plan
Love that plan, well done.
@@michelebreensimmons5713 lol, when my parents did it theirs, they did rent free and gave a time limit. My sister and husband stayed 4 years (2 yrs to finish college & 1yr to save 1yr to build house), my brother stayed 3 yrs (2 to save, 1 yr to build). I stayed 3 mo while house build was completed. They ran a business out of it for 2 yrs and rented it out the rest of the time they lived there.
Your ADU might not last that long though, but overall a good plan.
No thanks. I like privacy and quiet.
Finally a video from an uniquely knowable 'realist' who is NOT afraid to tell it as it is. That's GOOD Business & 'gangsta' bravery!!!!!
Thank you for posting this. I have checked in Los Angeles a few companies who claim to build ADUs - and their prices are obscene. One case the price started and 160,000 and to build a larger unit cost $247,000 . These designs seem to be very modern, modest and yet with a great price tag
Are these allowed on property in California w/o a permit
@@Lilthis_n_that no
You have such a smooth way of knocking down any trolls before they get to you!👍😊
A bathroom could be in a separate module attached via a covered walkway. It would not impinge on the existing living space and is probably a lot cheaper option and could be added later. Kitchens do not need cupboards just shelves and a microwave, an induction hotplate and an air fryer which are all just plug in items.
Agree on the bathroom - i want a kitchen that i can cook in though.
@@justanotherhuman8918 I cook every day using a single induction hot plate and a microwave which give me perfect control with minimal cleanup.. In cold weather I often cook on my pot belly wood stove. I see commercial scale kitchens owned by people who eat out or get Uber eats.All those cupboards filled with things that are never used. Glossy magazine photos of deluxe kitchens untouched by human hands. Less is more in the kitchen. I can cook a rice or pasta dish in under fifteen minutes including preparation.
@@amraceway Thats great! I have been sharing space with many people for so long its simply wishful thinking on my part.
Oh the small built in apartment appliance are that expensive really and ad value to the home.
Not a great suggestion since microwave is out of conventional use being very harmful - and who wants to have a kitchen without the cupboard! The bathroom can never be outside the unit.
I've been watching Studio Shed for years. You can really customize the design with all kinds of options for window and door placements. And you don't have to go with their kitchen and bath. They have licensed installers and you can customize. So if you did just the bathroom, you could do, say, a mini fridge, microwave, and induction plate for your kitchen and save money and room.
Set up a composting toilet and then the only plumbing you need is bathroom sink/shower, kitchen sink. I use a countertop convection oven, 2 induction burners (Ikea) and a countertop dishwasher. I also use a small, portable clothes washer (takes about 1/2 what a large washer would). Lots of ways to whittle down costs.
Could it work if your on a fixed income ssi $841 a month?
Thank you for addressing this rising problem for many.
That total price makes it $249+/Sq ft. & hardly a bargain.
Buy a garden shed. No a/c etc but less per square feet.
@@davidleeattorney of the shed conversions I've seen, it's the same issue of cost/sq.ft. The bigger issue is the rising cost of wages/supplies courtesy central banksters funny money printing. Addressing the latter does the same to the former.
@@davidleeattorney listen to yourself . You want people to live in a garden shed .
This is greed pure and simple.
Listen.. price per sq ft is always high the smaller the dwelling is.
Kerry.....please review the arched cabin made in Texas. I like this because u get a kit that contains metal frames that make the walls and roof, basic insulation, outside metal siding and roofing, and posts that make part of the foundation. U finish the structure building the two me walls using stick construction. U add windows and doors. They include a ring to mount a round circular chimney for your heat source. I like this idea because u build the post foundation and floor......then u mount the metal ribs to the floor and erect them. U screw the metal cladding to the ribs to keep the walls straight. U then build interior room walls, plumb, wire, add HVAC, etc. I priced a 30by24 ft floor plan for around twenty thousand dollars! That's half the house! I figure if I finish it for twice the kit price, maybe I can get a two floor hose, land, septic, solar of system to get off grid, rain capture for water,......all for under one hundred thousand dollars!!!!!!.... What do u think am I dreaming? I presently live in new York and pay thirteen hundred rent and hundreds for utilities. I am on social security and must work a lot job to pay expenses. If my mortgage was one thousand a month I might be able to retire from the pt job and live on SS alone!!!!!!..... Please check out the arched cabin. They make kits sized from back yard sheds to humongous size dwellings. There are a number of posts on u tube where arched cabins have been built for rental properties, homeless shelters, as well as residential homes. I forgot to add the ribs can be erected in just a few hours!!!!!!!!!...?? Fascinating!!!!!! The housing shortage is a bubble and prices will drop next year. This is do to mills making more lumber available so lumber prices continue to fall. Also with the govt no longer doing qualitative easing, money supply will shrink and interest rates will increase. Mortgages will be more expensive. The only way for mortgage s to be written will be to reduce the price of the house! Basic economics here......I do have a bsba degree! I applaud your efforts at helping average people find affordable homes!!!!!!!.....regards,..a. barbuto....... barbuto@optonline.net.......
I was a builder and would constantly get asked what I could build a home per square foot. I would respond that I could build a home for $25 per sq. ft.... BUT bathrooms, flooring, kitchens, utilities and land were extra. I said this to convey to the customer that the cost per foot has much to do with what they want and need. The example at $125 per sq. ft. is what new housing is priced at in my locality including the land and everything that a new home should have. This product is not affordable as it doesn't include utilities, land, permits, complete finishes, etc. etc.
Do you get people asking for Passivhaus design specifications yet ? Energy costs are going to skyrocket.
Thank you for this very Informative video I am from the UK they are so much bigger than they are over here
I really like the 6" insulated "Structall" system for this size structure, we built hundreds of them with and without utilities back in the early 2000s and people were moving right into them a week later. When the tiny home thing took off local permitting started cracking down on it hard and costs doubled in one year.
Good video. Straight Forward & Informative.
Studio shed, casita, summer house all interesting
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Thanks for this, I'm always open to learn about affordable options.
The options you present in the video are interesting. The term affordable is as fluid as the water flowing over Niagara Falls. If affordable housing is to become a realistic option for all, one casita just won’t do it. Once again, you challenge our imagination. Thank you!
Thanks John!
Converting a pre- fab Quonset hut kit, would be cheaper, and give you more square footage, and be more natural disaster resistant.
While the price isn't necessarily unreasonable, you have to also figure in cost of tying plumbing and electricity in, as well as cost of clearing/evening lot and laying foundation. That can add a lot to overall cost.
I agree 100%
True but that can be done in stages and more affordable that way
Thats just the thing, I believe these prefabs are actually more costly than hiring a local contractor to do the build from scratch.
These prefabs are very catchy to those who have a few bucks saved but have NO handy trademanship. I feel like the consumer base for the prefabs are ignorant to the fact that its actually more costly, but seems "easier" at the outa-box level.
You would get a better local price by hiring someone in on the foundation/material/layout/build because they would be the same people from the preplanning to the finished product, rather than one company for this, one for that and having to que them in on all the project details since they wouldnt be familiar like the local all in crew would be.
It's better off getting some contracts and build everything bigger/better/cheaper
@@ripptydevibes2581 You're wrong. Think of pre-fab houses as made of lego pieces and big factories making different lego house sets. They have huge production line and have non stop orders coming in. They buy all of their supplies in bulk and build thousands of pre-fab houses per month. Now compare this to local contractor that might find some plans for house online and will try to source different lego pieces for it. Since contractor doesn't deal with purchasing raw materials. He will not be able to find best price or best supplier that has these materials. Contractor will also not be anywhere closely experienced with manufacturing lego pieces from raw materials.
There is no way that unexperienced contractor with no access to same prices and stock of materials can compete with big factory on prices, quality, production time, etc.
Using your logic pre-fab car assembled locally by one mechanic would cost less than pre-fab car assembled by robots in huge factory...
Anything that can be done to reduce the cost of housing is welcomed, I don't want to dump on that, but here's the thing:
We don't have a 'housing affordability' issue.
We have a 'land affordability' issue.
In certain situations could something like this help, absolutely, and I believe prefab will play a huge role moving forward, but it's still, on it's own, less than a band aid.
And good luck with zoning, at least in most municipalities within Canada (As a secondary residential structure)
You hit the nail on the zoning issue. Not every city will allow any type of mobile home. A lot of the residential communities also have a size limit in the fact that these would not be allowed because they are small. They are less than the minimal required square footage. For cities the goal is taxes. They force you to build within a square foot range, limit the number of buildings you can have on the property and in some, even limit your choice of exterior covering -- requiring it be brick and no wood or vinyl or hardy siding, as an example. This way everyone living in that residential community essentially has the same thing. Now, when they want to squeeze more money out of you by raising taxes, they to what I call a blanket raise. You get a letter in the mail stating that your property value has gone up and so they will raise your taxes. But they never sent anyone out to appraise or value your home. So it is a false rise in property value. But because of 'codes' and zoning rules, they know basically what you have and so everyone gets the letter -- no matter the condition of your property. Just a money squeeze.
What’s the difference between modular and prefab homes and which one appreciates better over time?
Great video. I’m working on a prefab dwelling similar to this and Nomad that I’ll be selling globally starting next month. I’ll hit you up as soon as I have completed the first delivery. Price point will be below $20,000 USD
The city in California that we live in allows ADUs but there are many city imposed restrictions, requirements, and fees along with the cost of the ADU that make it financially impractical for many of us.
Was looking for this comment. Most cities have specific restrictions and regulations, even smaller ones. There are also usually permits and inspections required. It's not as easy as just setting it up.
This is what I love about where I live now. We built 2 homes in Florida. All kinds of permits, inspections, fees, inspections on everything. But we moved to the Midwest to a rural area, and had none of that. We did have to put in a septic tank. That had to be permitted and inspected. Other then that we just were able to build without any hassles. We built with no banks involved, just cash, and my husband being in the building business just over saw all the construction. Its a beautiful custom built brick home. Of course it did cost quite a bit more then these small homes. It is also a lot larger. At times I do wish we would have built smaller, because we are now in our 60s and it's just me and happy. May sale and downsize?
That is why people are leaving CA in droves.
I have one question: do these homes stand up to category 5 hurricane winds?
i got a studio shed 10x10 with french door.. it was set up with their professional installers in a few hours. then we diy’d all the insulation, drywall, electrical wiring, carpet, paint, and AC installation (split unit). it cost roughly $3k to do all the finish carpentry and electrical. to grade and set up the site for the studio shed cost $800. if youre adding a kitchenette.. i could see it being another $1500. a fancy murphy bed will run you $1500. the studio shed 10x10 is great as a recording studio, guest room, yoga studio, Zoom meeting pod. i wouldnt recommend it as a full on ADU but it gave us a fully functional telepresence studio for around $11000.
I love this! How interesting. and it looks great! I don't know if our county will approve these but they would be a great solution. I would like one for a she shed.
I have looked at a number of these pre-fab homes and they are ridiculously expensive, which I just cannot figure out. Maybe they are more affordable in CA vs. the States.
new subscriber here...really enjoying your dry humor and very subtle snark
Haha glad to hear it
Do they or when will they have sales in the US? Beautiful home. Be blessed and be safe
We live in Las Vegas, where we are getting quotes for a one to two bedroom "guest" house 750 sq home, is being quoted @ $200,000.00 Which is the price I paid for a 2,500 sq home 5 years ago!! So having an option to have a pre-fab which is using materials which are resistant to heat and we can put solar too why the heck not!!
Can you explain the process of permits for a Primary home compared to the ADU installation ? And why some companies (Dwell) wont install ther products as a primary home.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and soooo cool..!!!
Thank you. So ADU can be added to a traditional home lot I suppose. Will look into this for my aging mother.
I live in Mississippi but have property in Tennessee that I would like to put something on. We are going to start out putting our camper there, but it is so small.
Kerry please call and do an actual meeting. I was shocked at the price from end to finish. The final estimate was 400k with the pro builder. Mind you my local modular builder was 440 for twice the space.
When you do these which i love watching, can you include how utilities would hook up to them. Like is the plumbing going to an outlet that you can attach on side or is it under etc.
In Vancouver, Canada, back yard rental homes have not helped affordability in the city, they have simply raised the value of the land.
Love the content. Damn, 30k for that kitchen and bath. I'm in Vancouver and design, build custom kitchens etc. In guessing that includes appliances
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks!
Kerry, great video on Pre Fab homes! I am very interested in an affordable pre-fab place. I would be interested in which pre-fab manufacturers have the LOWEST PRICE (for the value) plus, delivery in the U.S.! (anywhere) Is there a waiting list? Time to deliver? Time to pre-build?
Love your videos they are very informative and on point .thank you for sharing 💜
Thank you for the info. I’m almost ready to retire and would like to purchase one of these homes. Please tell me how I can go about getting started? So glad to see you’re in Ontario. Thank you
Love those casitas and the planters.
everyone talk about it
but how exactly do start
if i dont have a yard or back yard ir parents w a big lot on hack house
where do you start ???
Have you seen anything that could be set onto a slope/partially buried? Colorado is fairly mountainous and the areas I’m thinking of buying land have steep slopes.
I took a look and now the company offers optional kitchen and bathroom layouts for the larger units which can be configured into a one bedroom suite.
I want to start building these. I noticed how much they cost to build vs traditional homes. Just don't know where to start yet.
Try reaching out to studio shed!
We're looking to expand on our land ... To build a combination multiple car/ Granny flat. Any idea's? 4 cars a must plus family space. Oh we have one acre. Behind main home. Looking forward to your information!
Hi, great videos; I find them really informative.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice presentation and well produced alternative!!!
Thanks Lonnie 🙌🏼
Is this really any cheaper than just hiring a contractor to take care of design/materials/project at a local level from scratch?
What is the fee for delivery and the total comp price to a prefab vs scratch contracted?
But how much does it really cost, with all the added fees, permits, labor, utility hookups. I don't think anything is affordable anymore.
Essentially you can tag on another 30% easily to cover the costs you identify. More if you are in rural areas that do not have basic utilities.
Permits and utility hookups alone!
Great video once again! I’m going to be in Florida, more specifically Coral Springs area. Which company would you reccomend is a Must Visit? I’m looking to buy several.
Wish you’d put links to these products / companies. How to buy it???
Great job, keep it up!
Thanks!
Great video. I am permitted to build a duplex, each approx. 600 sq. feet.Do any of these pre-fab ADUs/Casitas available in duplex/stacked on top of each other? Thank you for the info.
Do the companies that sell prefab homes help find land lots that are suitable for their product or desirable to the buyer. I wouldn't mind a lot that is "close" to a beach but not on the beach.
Just curious when you list prices do you mean Canadian dollars or US dollars?
People don't need more space, they need to stop buying & get rid of all their stuff.
Cracks me up to see $100k (2 cars) sitting in driveway when their garage is over flowing w so much worthless crap.
So true! Turn it into a granny flat! Airbnb it, depending on where you live.
@@ShortTermRookie I love in a national park 1/2 mile from casino. I'm messing the completion of remodel of my 1944 cottage. Was going I could sell high enough in the ridiculous market.

Avg 7 nights per mo would cover all housing/ rental expenses & I could take off on my adventures even if it's just a couple nights local backpack trip. Give me time to find property. Also give me experience & rental history to determine if house should b sold out kept as full time nightly rental for income.

new here once i find my niche .... here comes more options omg i was and still am really into the tiny house cottages .. but this seems very interesting i like nature and and paying things off and sustainable fab living so lets see what we got here nit
I agree, low cost is going upper. I'm trying to find a place that is not expensive. Can't move back to home town for that reason. Need to buy something affordable and big enough to have people over for holidays 🙃 😴 🙄.
These would be fun to stay in rather than hotels 💯.. Btw have you checked out Vika Living?
On cost per square foot Prefabs are MORE expensive than stick built options. These things are not exactly "cheap". The base model, an 100 sq ft empty room, might look affordable. But pricing a simple 300+ sq ft model with bathroom and kitchette ads up to around $90k. That's without shipping, permitting, laying a slab or foundation, connecting to utilities...and you still need a contractor to do all of this if you're not willing to manage it all on your own... all of which could add anywhere from $30-$50k to the build.... maybe more depending on where it's installed. Even if used as a rental unit, that can mean many years before they offer a return on investment.
R 15 in the walls is not that good either.
@Sofia Freja Chambers He knew you'd make this comment, so he proactively responded to it at 2:03
@@demesrvl6761 he didn't address what I said. The dollar figures he's throwing around are a fraction of the actual cost of these ADUs. There are way too many of these type of videos on TH-cam, which gives people the idea that it's inexpensive to add these to your property, but the truth is they are on a square foot basis often more expensive than building a typical house.
Great video and very informative !!
Thanks Ruth!
this has really taken off... they even offer things like this in Europe. ADU's are extremely popular and a homeowner can easily convert a simple shed to a studio or workshop... I have a 8 X 12 that came with my place and I have it insulated with heat and AC... its just a workshop, but really is nice to have it outfitted with electric service. its amazing what you can think up with a shed...
Thanks for this! I work in Toronto market with ADUs and looking forward to connecting with Studio shed!
That’s awesome!
Who installs the plumbing and other lines?
30K only includes the structure, not the plumbing, electric, permits, etc.
Hello Good Sir: Can you please preview and advise if there are any east coast modular "TOWN-home" or QUAD plex" buildings/ builders? Please preview.
Hi Kerry, can you please do a review on Home depot prefab tiny homes. please thanks cheers
I'll check it out thank you
What about air conditioning and heating?
Does Studio Shed deliver ADUs to California?
Another great video. It's nice to see you do the research so I don't have to ;)
Haha thanks!
Thanks Kerry, these look super cool. I hope you can show various sizes and interiors in a future video. So, I assume these are in the kit home category, right? You didn't mention a foundation, so I assume that would be an additional cost.
Good idea. I’d like to see the same.
Do you use architect or draftsmem?
Sound wonderful, hope they have big closets. Need small homes for environmental reasons, use less energy, even with small kitchens. Need bathrooms.
Why don’t you put a link for the company anywhere?
Are they going to start selling in the US particularly Florida all senior citizens move to
I'd love to see the Lancaster Log homes reviewed, nothing compares to what they offer.
Will check them out thanks Pam
Only problem is I'd be so tired of that wood color EVEREEWHERE, ughhhhh. It looks very outdated and 80's. I wish they'd modernize it a bit.
Hi i know this is old but thx for all ur hard work for us
My pleasure
Hi Kerry! which of all these companies have the hurricane certification i live in Florida and want to build one for myself?
I’m not hearing zoning considerations in adding an additional structure on land, certainly not in suburban areas
For a tiny empty shell? All else much more extra costs right?
I have unrestricted land so is this a possibility?
I would be very interested in adding a couple of these homes on my empty lot next to my big house, The issue is that I am in VA. The USA and these homes are in Canada
