DIY Pre-Engineered Composite Homes

If we can capture the opportunity of home building inefficiencies and distribute it effectively, we can build more homes with less impact. It may be  comical to say, we must build homes more like ants than monkeys. 

Housing is a basic human need, yet housing crisis has surfaced as a global trouble. According to World Bank (Masterson, 2022), the housing shortage is projected to impact 1.6 Billion people by 2025. UN Habitat said that the world needs to build 96,000 new affordable homes every day to accommodate an estimate of 3 Billion people who will need access to adequate housing by 2030. It has been observed that in most countries, there is a trend where the cost of housing has grown faster than income.

Thus, the effort to build more affordable homes must be one of the primary focuses in addressing the situation. In 2008, Moody’s Analytics showed that in the US, shortage of land, lending, labor, and materials have fueled the housing shortage (Parrott & Zandi, 2021). These causes are fundamental in building homes but have been in shortage due to the financial crisis. The phenomenon drives up costs and cuts the profit margins that the building sector can make, specifically lower-priced housing with lower margins.

There has been observed rise in the cost of materials, reflecting varied factors such as disruption of global supply chains during the pandemic. Homebuilders also had difficulty developing and maintaining consistent labor force due to the downward trend of graduates pursuing specialized skills necessary in the related careers.

According to JP Morgan (2021), global house prices have risen at their fastest rate in 40 years from supply and demand to the cost of supply and labor shortages. The Covid-19 pandemic is considered to have influenced the housing crisis because buyers and renters looked for more space during the lockdown. The affordability of housing has been stretched further due to a surge in house prices. Inflation and affordability in the housing service sector, inclusive of construction and consumption, encompasses one-third of the consumer price index and 15% of personal consumption prices.

That is where new technology can come in to tackle the housing crisis. Technologies ranging from 3D printing to biomanufactured materials have served to become quicker and cheaper means of addressing the global housing deficit (Triveno & Nielsen, 2021). Newer methods in building and construction also have environmental benefits, such as cutting construction waste while being carbon neutral, or even carbon negative. Housing technology must be further expanded with the adoption of answers to exploring the housing puzzle.

Our service model will have the least environmental impact due to its reduced building operations lifecycle - its DIY assembly provides the least manpower, its asset mobility provides lower ratios of material to land conservation, and our bottom-up approaches allows robust design alteration with the least demolition/ retrofitting impact. Lest to say our structure can withstand 310 kph, with an optimal life cycle of 30 years, and consumes much less emissions that its steel/concrete counterparts. 

Our service model is a more of a technology platform that allows 3D printers to integrate to the legacy structural system, having production data transform across geographies for maximum distribution and benefits. 

There is a need for a better system connecting people to leverage their innovations and disseminate intelligence, empowerment, and commerce that is most opulent. As technologies become more embedded through the advent of Web3, Industry 5.0, and Artificial Intelligence—a “Decentralized Generative Volumetric Construction Manufacturing” (DGVCM) Schema—is our postulate. 

As long as there is internet and a 3D printer nearby, it can produce homes and assembled by communities. Local supply chain can be tapped for open architecture. Multiple service deliveries are robustly anchored towards platform use. 

A robust Information Architecture between cross- functional professional teams—one with variable geographies, multiple contextual subsystems and component complexities, layers of change management, data tractability, validations, ethical relationships, production requirements, idiosyncratic tensions of interfaces, and respective model views— are the adaptive complexity of the information infrastructure of HomeQube’s System:

Primary: The Primary System leverages on design intuition as design phenomenon, geometric opportunities, and volumetric aggregation of combinational “unknown unknowns” are measured. It can be used as the main lens for risk reduction, obtaining design security, and providing comfort despite uncertainty.

Secondary: The Secondary System provides a gamified environment utilizing game theory scenarios that can be used for larger system optimization calculi. It can be applied to housing policy development and future systems thinking.

Future: The Future System can be used for interplanetary requirements and habitation. The modularity of integration of site-specific conditions, scenarios, and regulation and domestic supply chain parameters are considered.

We have an actual prototype of possible merchandises that could be integrated into our technology platform.  

Hard to compute, we see the approximation of GDP of the home industry. 

To add community networks for possible collaboration on research work and data integration, and to add credibility to our organisation. 

HomeQube is at the crux of Web3 commerce following its aim to supplant century-old homebuilding practices. The decentralized online platform comes at the heels of global problems that are unprecedented: the worsening and accelerating impacts of climate change, inefficiencies of architecture and engineering, and a sluggard homebuilding process that can only bring about more housing shortage in the long term. Thus, the deep design integrations that HomeQube offers for homebuilding have never been done before.

The home industry value chain is increasingly turning to blockchain technology to improve efficiency and transparency. The stages encompassed include the production, distribution, and consumption of home goods and services. Blockchain technology’s decentralization serves as a digital ledger of transactions that can securely and transparently record and verify transactions without the need for a central authority (Nakamoto, 2008). It has the potential to revolutionize the home industry value chain by streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving the quality of products and services.

One area where blockchain technology can make a significant impact is supply chain management. The home industry is often characterized by complex global supply chains where goods and raw materials are sourced from multiple countries and suppliers. Tracking the movement of goods can be difficult, making it hard to ensure that the products are high in quality and are ethically sourced.

Through utilizing blockchain, manufacturers can create a digital ledger of the entire supply chain— ranging from raw materials to finished products. Doing so can provide transparency and accountability, ensuring consumers that products that reach the market are high quality and ethically sourced.

Another aspect that the technology can positively impact is the distribution and sale of home goods. The current home industry value chain often involves multiple intermediaries which add costs and complexity to its process. Blockchain poses a solution of streamlining the acquisition of goods by enabling direct transactions between manufacturers and customers. Not only will blockchain lower costs and reduce the need for middlemen, but it can also provide secure and tamper-proof records of transactions. It will ensure that the customers receive their products and the manufacturers receive payment for their goods.

Aside from the aforementioned advantages, blockchain can also improve the quality of home goods and services. It can help create a more concrete and holistic picture of the entire home industry process. The digital ledger of transactions and interactions can aid in identifying areas for improvement which can encourage companies to invest in quality control which will lead to better products and services for consumers.

In the future, Home Building should be comparable to cooking skills, or driving skills. 

Accumulated Carbon Credits. 

Increased Economic Activity due to ease of Home Building and AI.

The construction industry is traditionally fragmented with adversarial competing relationships. The project, which is the nature of scope, has become a limitation that curbs its solution space potential. HomeQube’s intention is to expand the extent of the industry’s solutions to a wider context from a system point of view. Following the nature from which it was conceived, the platform’s expansion will continuously adapt knowledge delivery models appropriate to the technology era.

Society will enter into systems that become more and more connected, hence Web3. With that in mind, it is important to update the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) faculty. System Engineering and System Architecture have traditionally been applied to the manufacturing sector. HomeQube believes in becoming a catalyst for the advancement of the Industrialization of Construction (IC), making it more volumetric, additive, and systems-minded.

The Web2 Heritage, or the traditional methods of systems, has helped HomeQube formulate the concepts that shaped its delivery models. This includes robust tools, process development, and project management delivery methods. There is a lot to explore about HomeQube’s model in delivering more innovations and intelligence while operating on people’s own mental strengths.

We are expecting what is beyond 5.0 which we believe is about “mass complexities,” and “dynamic manufacturing” thinking. We believe traditional inventory won’t be about the material aggregation but would be about the process development of supply chain integration from communal participation—a better systems of knowledge formation and redistribution of knowledge.

Home Value Chain for Infrastructure Commerce

Putting portions of Home Values in the blockchain allows a new kind of market economics to prosper. This can surface through more trading, commerce, and better distribution of products and services for community demands. The decentralization of logistics also comes into play due to the nature of information infrastructure design. That results in the least market inefficiencies and least friction in terms of transactions and negotiations.

Decentralized ERP for Ecosystem Participants

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a software product from the Web2 heritage. A communal ERP can emerge with the aid of servicing supply and demand participants in an ecosystem. The ecosystem occurs when layers of information are available to be secured with community software. The trading industry is the biggest ERP market to date and HomeQube’s ecosystem can be seen as a trading of the home value chain.

Grand View Research’s recent market report showed that the ERP software market is expected to be valued at $59.48 Billion in 2023 with a revenue forecast of $123.41 Billion in 2030. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% between 2023 to 2030. This growth is driven by increasing demand for digitization and automation in various industries. The need for integrated systems that can manage multiple aspects of a business is also recognized to play a role in the increase as well.

Supply Chain as a CI/CD

The Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery or CI/CD pipeline of the software industry is the automation that enables developers to reliably transfer incremental code changes from machines to test and production. Continuous Integration, in simplest terms, is a technique where incremental code changes are reliable and regularly made. Code updates that are merged into the repository are made reliable by automated build-and-test procedures that are sparked by CI. As part of the Continuous Delivery process, the code is swiftly and easily deployed.

To illustrate CI/CD in a supply chain context, oner efer to a construction project. In a typical project, transformations normally occur as hold points of supply chain performances. These are called stages of fidelity, or more traditionally, level of detail development. HomeQube sees that the hold point takes place due to how knowledge is currently delivered and transformed: top-down economics.

A bottom-up approach considers process transformations as “work inventory requirements” for CI/CD. Such makes it more adequate as a route to service robust demand and makes it possible for the end product to have more parametric outcomes.

Generative AI for Everyone

The US Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Market is projected to reach $50 Billion by 2030. The trend allows innovation to now be generated in a more opulent solution space with a wider contextual context. With the new era of AI and industry 5.0 in the context of systems thinking, it is necessary to examine where human intelligence will position itself.

It can be considered that human intelligence is relevant in terms of social appreciation and integration with communities. Humans in this context will act as distributors for beneficiaries rather than producers of knowledge.

The Built Environment of tomorrow will be about intelligent systems with decentralized infrastructure networks that are embedded with distributed knowledge for dynamic model production and allocation.

NFT as Deeply Functional Programmable Assets for Home Production

The Utility Non-fungible Token (or NFT) Market is yet to be harnessed from Web3 due to vain and trivial NFTs being a dominating trait for the space. HomeQube intends to represent Utility NFTs with more substantive values of utilization.

The home industry value chain is well-positioned to take advantage of the benefits of blockchain. Its innovations in streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving the quality of products and services can drive growth, competitiveness, and prosperity in the home industry and beyond.

While the utilization of blockchain technology in the home industry value chain is still in its early stages, its potential benefits are clear. It can serve to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the quality of products and services. The technology has the potential to revolutionize the home industry and create new opportunities for growth and innovation.

We use meritocracy as our working culture. We don't believe in hiring a marginalised group, a certain race or gender just to have and prove or show inclusion or diversity. 

Diversity and inclusion is about social justice and fairness of opportunities, it is something inward and not outward, hence merits are an important foundation to counter bias, racism, and prejudice. 

Our business model is POS, and Subscription for added features. Our POS encompasses all the products and services that are traded across our P2P networks. 

All business need cash flow to survive. Our cost and revenue ratio is very healthy and we will not nee leverage, that makes us safe. Further, we will raise capital from token sale, another avenue of cash flow. 

We are raising 1m USD for full technology development, we will launch our MVP in 3 months.
