Herein lies the business model magic that hopefully give us an edge.

We work with local builders, providing the fully designed/engineered packages, with ALL materials needed to build that specific high performance home.

You are right, trying to do this in a fully centralized and detached from community is not workable. We think our take leverages the strengths of both parties and allows us to do this much more broadly.

Regarding technical challenges, we engineer our SIPS shells for seismic by default and can accommodate most snow loads (Tahoe project in the works). HOA's are a PITA no doubt, but urban infill is possible and green field is always going on regardless.

From floor down is all local and must be adapted, so not so turn key there But hey, can't have everything.

Gotta run, but like your approach. Maybe more later.
