"Hey Sam, Thanks for the question. I think Blue Sky uses light gauge steel with a bolted moment connection (all done on site). We use heavy gauge steel with a massive welded connection (all done in factory). Each module is a moment frame, which is pretty exciting as it gives us all our shear, means we can use the same frame in all situations, and lets us put glass anywhere/everywhere and still be earthquake-safe (as long as solar exposure and client's privacy requirements allow.)"

"Thanks, Steve. Totally. Although it is interesting to note that Charles Eames framed the Eames house with his buddies in 16 hours. A system like bonestructures means that you still leave months of finish work to be done onsite. If you are in a high cost region.... you end up paying a lot. Okay. I'm going to stop sitting on the comments section. Thanks for reading! "

"Hey Sean. Totally. Right now, we make tons of sense in high-cost-to-build-regions -- we are about 1/3rd the cost of building an architect-designed house in SF. About 1/2 in LA and NY region. And we are all-steel moment frame construction, which is pretty much the most expensive way to build a house, but necessary for the shipping component we are trying to solve. If you live somewhere expensive and you want to live in a modern glass/steel box, we have you covered and we can save you a ton. That is why it is important that we can serve all markets -- so we can reach enough of these high-cost regions to generate the volume to bring costs down. Not to punt your affordability question down the field a bit, but we are working to bring costs down and IMHO, our prefab competitors offer much less home for much more money.... Stay tuned. "

"Thanks, Alex. That Vipp house is super sweet. (And ungodly expensive. And the approvals thing is kinda spotty). But great execution on the wow factors. And sleeping in that little skylight hatch seems like it would be a blast. Certainly the right direction."
