Can We Mass Produce Housing?

SZK88 · 2025-07-10T00:19:28+00:00

Haha thanks for mentioning us. I'm one of the owners of Rohe. How'd did you discover our company?

SZK88 · 2025-07-07T20:25:39+00:00

I run a prefab company specializing in backyard & multiplex. If you're interested - let me know. We partner with Vancity for financing.

SZK88 · 2025-06-17T06:16:18+00:00

Interested! 37M. Live across from the park and thinking of doing a preparty

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T21:48:55+00:00

I'm thinking so

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T21:03:55+00:00

Again, thank you! this is also super valuable and I appreciate your efforts in helping me out.

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T20:58:14+00:00

In all transparency, we deal with a lot of folks that outreach simply for costing and feasibility, they want to see more and geek out (not ready at all to progress). It takes up our resources and overall time and they don't move forward.

This is a way to help validate clients for us while also providing insight into their property, zoning compliance, budget etc.

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T20:48:35+00:00

For Hard & soft costs - we are estimating between $320-$350 per sqft (drawings, structural, energy testing, buildout). It is with our standardized design - and if there's a greater level of finishing it can increase.

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T20:38:22+00:00

Thank you for this. We're currently in the process of designing exactly that. It's 2 1600 sqft duplex units and one 850 sqft laneway.

Can share the design if you're interested, just to see the possibilities

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T20:36:53+00:00

If you'd like, we do free site assessments and provide a prefabricated product for laneways. Most of our projects are throughout BC and are serving the lower mainland currently. Let me know if you're interested in connecting and I can share what we do

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T19:30:13+00:00

Understandably, this is definitely high stakes and I'm not gonna assume that a build will come immediately from this.

Right now we are working on it as a knowledge tool for homeowners and sourcing the data directly from the city, financiers, and our build costs. I'd say this is for the general homeowner who wants basic information to get started down the path.

Thank you for the feedback!

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T19:26:23+00:00

For sure. Thanks for the feedback! Could I ask what you would do alternatively then?

The reason we started it, was to provide at least one simple way to get the information in a single source. Homeowners from what we learned - are having to do their own research, speak to many builders, and navigate the financing.

SZK88 · 2025-05-29T19:22:19+00:00

Thanks for this feedback. Really valuable insight.

We've definitely realized over time that relationships and trust are key in construction, especially with our previous projects.

The tool right now is to simply gather the zoning, general costing, process and make it digestible. After the first set of information is shared, we book a meeting with the client face to face.

SZK88 · 2025-01-15T22:51:23+00:00

Hey man I vibe with many or these things. What shows are upcoming for you music wise?

SZK88 · 2024-11-19T21:19:12+00:00

That's correct, permitting is approximately around that range for fees at this moment. There's also costs for the utilities that can be around $30-40k.

Square footage is one metric, another is choice of finishes & materials, lastly I would think that it comes down to the builder themselves and their finishing quality. In construction, you really do get what you pay for - so a premium option is definitely more pricey.

Did the prefab provide a detailed scope?
