Choose Smart, Build Better
In today's home construction landscape, selecting the right building method is crucial for project quality and efficiency. This article explores the differences between traditional stick frame construction and Haiku Homes' innovative modular rapid assembly system, highlighting how Haiku Homes streamlines the building process while offering superior durability and customization for modern homeowners at very competitive prices.
Traditional Homes
Haiku Homes
Construction Time
At least 8 months
Raw material lead times, labor efficiency and the weather can alter project timelines
Assembled within 3 to 4 weeks
A simple click, lock and bolt assembly ensures very few variables and assured timelines.
Construction Cost
In the range of $350 - $600 per sqft
It is common to expect double the cost and triple the time with a lot of unknowns.
$190 - $250 per sqft (Incl. Assembly)
Economies of scale, Modularity and factory production eliminate uncertainties.
Quality Control
Varies Greatly
Largely dependent on the quality of raw materials, labor skillset and the weather.
Precise with a tolerance of 1/16"
When machines fabricate, check and approve components, you're assured only of the best.
Customization
Highly customizable but expensive
Everything is possible but over-engineering and labour can easily drive up costs.
Customizable within Parameters at same cost
A pre-engineered and modular system that allows you to imagine freely, and we’ll build it.
Durability
Needs constant Maintenence
Fire, seepage, strong winds, termites & moulds are just a few factors that put your house at risk
Exceptional Strength and Stability
Built with High-grade Steel of 70,000 psi and engineered for 150 mph winds & earthquakes
Code Compliance
Cumbersome Procedure
Stringent code requirements, extended permit preparation time, and a complex filing process.
Streamlined and Pre-Approved
Whether it’s our pre-approved layouts or custom homes, we’ll handle everything.
Labor Requirement
Extensive and highly skilled Crew
Since all the work is done on-site, a much larger crew of highly skilled workers is needed.
Minimal and semi-skilled Crew
Components click, lock and bolt together while the finishes are pre-cut for easy installation.
Resale Value
Very High
The familiarity and appeal of a traditional build combined with the aesthetic of a classic home.
Very High
We only construct homes in an efficient manner, we don't make pods that look like spaceships

Navigating Construction Costs
Home construction costs can vary significantly by build type. Custom designed homes average $450/sqft, take about a year to complete and often involve expensive changes and delays. Prefabricated homes cost around $400/sqft, but their futuristic 'Spaceship' designs can affect resale value and restrict customizations, despite being delivered pre-built. Basic stick-frame homes are more affordable at $300/sqft and take 6-8 months to construct, but they offer limited customization, aesthetic appeal or durability.
In contrast, Haiku Homes provides customizable, high-quality and precisely engineered buildings that can withstand harsh conditions for an estimate of $190/sqft - $250/sqft
A. Construction Kit Delivered to you: $135/sqft
B. Grading, Foundations and Connections: $30/sqft
C. Construction Kit Assembly: $70/sqft
D. Kitchen and Furniture: $15/sqft
Voxel : Rapid Assembly
Haiku Homes' construction system offers unmatched durability and strength using high-strength steel and 70,000 psi alloys. Our modular system provides a 9'4" clear height, flexible layouts, and customizable finishes. Homes are assembled in just three weeks by a small crew, engineered to endure 150 mph winds, earthquakes, and challenging soil conditions, delivering a resilient and efficient solution for modern living.
In digital graphics, the smallest indivisible element is a pixel. A volumetric pixel or Voxel is the smallest non-divisible threedimensional stable structural grid that repeats itself to create multiple layouts.
High-strength zinc-aluminium alloy guarantees unbeatable protection, even in the toughest disasters. You're safe with us!
Engineered to brave those Gnarly 150mph winds
Your Home isn't going anywhere!
