This is a wood framing technology, originally from Japan, that I led the effort to transfer to the USA. Essentially a small group of untrained people can erect an entire house frame in 1-3 days, depending on the size of the structure. Please let me know what you think.

That's pretty cool. I wonder about the cost of the home (I didn't watch the entire thing, sorry if I missed it).
This could possibly have been a great alternative to the trailer housing that our government used during the Katrina flood in Louisiana. Decent housing could have been erected in days that people wouldn't be embarrassed to call home.
Looks very interesting and inexpensive. Do these come in kits? Is any company in North America building these?
That's amazing, it looks like the site given in the video is down though, any information on this? I'm interested in construction and planning on taking on something like this pretty soon, thanks a lot.
These wood-frame structures are inherently more resistant to earthquake damage than other types of construction.

interesting health articles
@Liam:
....you mean like, YouTube? God help us if you're right.
My first thought was, "WOW!" The next thought was would it pass post-Andrew hurricane certification.
I can see this as something that could be pre-built by an owner. Owner-built housing . . kewl idea!
cool but c'mon, let's take it to the logical conclusion.
gimme a lego house!!
How will it hold up to a hurricane or tornado etc?
So what your telling me is I can buy a house from Ikea now?
because thats what it looks like.
So...where do I buy one ;-)
The web site at the end of the video isn't found. Where can I go for more information?
for the ones that wants more info

The framing reminds me of post & beam construction except the joinery has been replaced with the easy to use metal connectors & pins. A strong framing method.
Add to it plywood foam insulated wall panels to form a stress skin shell and you have a very strong & well insulated shell of a house.
Very cool! Where do I get all the bits & pieces that make this work?
We've been doing this without special hardware for years. It's called timber-framing with mortise & tenon joints. With all pre-fabricated parts the building goes up just as fast.
Contact the Timber Framer's Guild for more info.

I dont think this would save any money in my area.
The manufactured lumbar they are using is not cheap, not to mention renting the equipment.
I think there is a future for this system, but it is not in the "build your own home" market.
Japanese homes aren't known for being well insulated or long lasting. No foam/insulation is going to be put into that home, and all the windows are single pane - spend some time in a Japanese house like that when the wind is blowing and you can hear it going straight through the walls :(
can you say ikea?
Nice post, do you have any clue What the name of company is? I tried MFT corp as mentioned at the end of movie but it's only a computer technology website.
Around 1949, my dad told me "You can do anything with a hammer!" How right he was.
Only a couple of questions:
1. With unidirectional pins holding this building together at each joint, and no additonal bracing or nailing as there would have been in standard post-and-beam construction, how strong could it be laterally? Couldn't a force applied against one corner collapse the entire thing?
2. Were the construction crew members amateurs or professionals? I didn't see any real improvement over the timing that professionals with nailers and joist hangers, etc. could produce in terms of speed. I can see the benfit for amateurs to try putting together this pre-produced house, so long as at least one experienced person is around to make sure tab 'a' finds slot 'b'.

Ever heard of the Amish in Philadelphia? They've been putting up houses in a day or two by hand for a long while before you were born ;-)
Check out the Harrison Ford film witness for a good example.
Ikea does indeed sell some prefab housing, the BoKlok (http://www.gizmag.com/go/7108/picture/33338/) but I don't think it's related to this.
@Cody: God no, the website mentioned at the end, mft corp. Ha, youtube, what's this foreign word?
That's cool. But what about wood logs? In process of building faster homes, we will be destroying our forest at faster rate.
Its better we think of alternate to wood log for this home and save our earth.
Prefab housing like this has been available in the states for decades. The assembly isn't quite the same, but the speed is, with more structurally sound architecture. Manufactured homes (NOT "mobile" homes) are usually assembled much quicker and built to far tighter tolerances than traditional stick framing. Cost, material wise, runs about 10-15% more than a stick frame home, but labor savings more than covers the price gap.
Of course, the home construction industry is one of the hardest industries to convince when it comes to better, cheaper, and stronger alternatives for building. Consider that stick framing houses has been in practice for HUNDREDS of years with very little comparative modernizing and you begin to see the issues.
That is very clever. Lateral thinking at work!
You can actually purchase a house in Japan for only 10k USD.

sneakers shoes She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, discount nike shoes"Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! nike shox r4 You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. tn dollarHe replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, cheap nike shoesleaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.
All along he has found his girl.nike tennis shoes That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! cheap nike shoxIt was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear.free shipping shoes He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.
As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. nike shoes It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.
He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! nike discount shoes But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver,cheap puma shoes he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. nike shox shoes She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!!nike free shoes How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.
The moral of this story is :
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.
