ADU Home Building

Homebuilding in the US has been done the same way for many decades. Griham Living's goal is to deliver HomeBuilding 2.0 - building residential real estate faster and more cost effectively by leveraging the next generation of design, steel based fabrication and global supply chains. The US housing market is forecasted to be short by over 3-4 million homes by 2030 & current construction practices just can’t keep up. There is a strong demand for affordable homes as many cannot afford the down payments or the high interest rate driven mortgage payments. We believe that our HomeBuilding 2.0 platform will contribute towards solving this housing problem.
We are leveraging the latest design and production automation tools to reduce costs and waste, improve sustainability and accelerate timelines.

How we do it.

Griham Living’s homebuilding leverages the latest design and production automation tools. This ensures that the product as it is designed is fabricated exactly to those specs thereby accelerating the build cycle, eliminating rework and waste.

Steel vs wood

Prefabricating with steel factory built is more predictable and compresses build cycles. In an environment where insurance companies are raising rates or pulling out, insurance costs for steel built can be up to 40% lower as they withstand natural disasters much better.

Where Homebuilding 2.0 will help

Supply - Demand Imbalance
  • Housebuilding has lagged demand
  • 3-4 Million homes under built
Poor Affordability
  • Low down payment savings
  • High interest rates
  • High student debt
ESG Challenges
  • Material waste
  • 40% of global energy use
  • 33% of greenhouse gas emission
Old Construction Methods
  • Long completion time
  • Rising labor and material prices
  • Local labor shortages

The factory built advantage

Homes that are prefabricated in the factory have many advantages over on-site, stick built homes, including 50% faster build cycles as the processes are automated and more efficient while the labor pool is predictable and stable. The US lags the world in Factory-Built Homes producing only 3% of global housing stock while Finland/Norway/Sweden produce 25% and Japan produces 15% per a recent McKinsey study.
