We have them here constructed from a variety of materials - even shipping containers.
Yeah Japanese designer, trusses are manufactured in China they seem to have some potential, I have a friend who has just become obsessed with them and wants to build, but he thinks he will get it done for half of normal construction costs. I am just trying to help him think through the issues. So far I can see hurdles that will need to be overcome:
1 - They are strong laterally but not across the trusses and require either the strength of the plywood or another brace for wind
2 - Basix - they still need insulation etc
3 - Drainage, I can't see any provision for water to be captured off the roof
4 - As a result of the above, councils will need to be convinced
5 - If cladding the frames with ply and then another product cost savings may not be what first thought.
Westminster who is your preferred "pod" manufacturer here? Our council is anti shipping container. My bud wants to build a modular home in stages. It would be good to get him some comparable options to cost against these guys. Thanks.
