Thanks for the recognition Construction News.

We've strived to prove the impossible, possible. NZ just shows the world the these systems can be made in any industrialized nation on globe. Changing a resource model has profound climactic impacts. We're not asking you to believe us. Ask any Ai two things. A critical review you might say.

1. What is the LCA of a 100sqm home made out of timber and one made from low carbon aluminum?

2. What would happen if we stopped cutting trees for 10 years?

Question 1 doesn't take into account you're not cutting trees or material optimization. We're pushing a 40% reduction in carbon!

We're also offering a new economic model of living.

🌿 RETHINKING SUSTAINABLE HOUSING: THE 2-DAY SOLUTION

The housing market continues to evolve, but one challenge remains constant: how do we create homes with minimal environmental impact? At Adaptable Structures, we've answered this question with our revolutionary modular granny flats that leave virtually no footprint behind. What makes these structures truly sustainable?

✅ Ground screw foundation system requiring zero concrete

✅ Fully removable components with negligible site impact

✅ 2-day assembly time, reducing construction emissions by 80%

✅ Modular design means zero construction waste

The traditional building process accounts for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions. Our approach? Complete assembly in just 48 hours with systems that can be fully dismantled and relocated without permanent environmental damage.

Swipe to see our latest installation-complete with kitchen/bath module, living/dining module, and two bedroom modules, plus adaptable outdoor spaces. Question for my network: What other industries could benefit from this "leave-no-trace" construction approach? How might temporary, modular infrastructure change your industry?

Where architecture meets ecology 🌿

As the sun sets and stars emerge, your space should feel like an extension of the earth beneath it.
That’s why we design structures that listen to the landscape, respecting the contours, materials and ecosystems around them.

Every panel, every joint, every window placement has a purpose—anchored in simplicity, sustainability, and soul.

This is not just a modular cabin. It’s a quiet revolution 🏡♻️ ✨

We’re currently preparing our "Granny Flat" submission to MBIE for MultiProof approvals of the Anyplace Ecosystem. Explaining the concept of “true modularity” to an agency unable to view 3D models has been challenging, requiring us to revert to 2D PDFs—a time-consuming and costly process.

To illustrate, we’ve created digital renders of a 60-square-meter, four-module assembly that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living spaces. This design showcases hybrid construction, combining Anyplace modules with traditional materials like timber trusses in the breezeways and bolt-on barnyard doors for security. The decking is also a modular, bolt-on feature, with plans to develop additional bolt-on accessories based on customer needs. We’ll publicly release fastening methods and hole locations, empowering anyone to create compatible accessories for Anyplace.

We’re also planning a second MultiProof application to demonstrate how modules can be joined, helping MBIE better understand the essence of true modularity.

The Anyplace system is designed for efficiency: these buildings flat-pack, and a four-module assembly can be completed in under two days using screw pile foundations (e.g., StopDigging). With just a 1-meter-wide accessway, parts can be hand-carried to the site—no cranes or heavy equipment required. Modules can even be transported on a car trailer, making setup accessible and cost-effective.

As with all Anyplace designs, the module layout and interiors can be adapted to suit evolving lifestyle needs, embodying our core principle: choice.

Shifting Goals in Construction

Equity. Affordability. Inclusivity. Keywords in construction right now. 5 years ago it waste carbon, waste, circularity, skills, digital twins, etc... the one thing that stays on top of the pile is affordability. Strangely it does seem that we keep setting goals that are never met.

How can you change those key issues without fundamentally changing construction? We looked at that and developed a new method. I don't think there is another model like it. What if you could buy or sell any part of your house? Need more, buy more. Don't need it, sell.

We addressed all these issues by design. But as challenging as this was we could never do it alone. So yes there is a catch. Let AI explain the effect of fixing the problem.

Combining a "buy/sell rooms" housing model with an Anyplace modular construction system like Anyplace holds significant promise for revolutionizing housing affordability and equity. By lowering entry costs, providing flexibility, and enabling gradual ownership, it could make homeownership accessible to a wider range of people and create more resilient and equitable housing markets. The inherent adaptability of modular systems like Anyplace directly addresses a key logistical challenge of this model, making it a potentially powerful solution if the legal, financial, and management frameworks can evolve to support it.

The concept of a housing model where you could buy or sell individual rooms within a house, particularly when combined with a system like the Anyplace modular construction system, has significant potential implications for housing affordability and equity. Here's a breakdown of how this could work:

How Anyplace Modular Construction Enhances This Model:

• Flexibility and Adaptability: Anyplace's design, allowing for the easy addition and removal of modular rooms, directly supports the "buy/sell rooms" concept. A homeowner could initially buy a smaller, more affordable configuration and add more rooms as their needs and finances grow. Conversely, they could sell off modules they no longer need.

• Standardization and Valuation: The standardized nature of Anyplace modules could simplify the valuation and sale process of individual rooms. Each module could have a defined cost and resale value based on its size, features, and condition.

• Ease of Modification: The bolted connection system of Anyplace would make the physical act of adding or removing rooms relatively straightforward compared to traditional construction, reducing the cost and disruption associated with such changes.

Impact on Housing Affordability:

• Lower Entry Costs: The most significant impact on affordability would be the drastically reduced initial investment. Instead of needing a large down payment for an entire house, individuals could enter the market by purchasing a single room or a small module.

• Gradual Ownership: Buyers could incrementally increase their ownership stake over time, purchasing additional rooms as they become financially able. This "staircasing" approach to ownership makes it more accessible to lower-income individuals and first-time buyers.

• Right-Sizing and Reduced Costs: Households could purchase a home that precisely meets their current needs, avoiding the cost of unused space. As their needs change, they can adapt their home accordingly.

• Potential for Rental Income: Homeowners with extra rooms could easily rent them out to generate income, helping to offset their mortgage costs and making homeownership more affordable overall.

• Faster Construction and Potentially Lower Costs: Modular construction like Anyplace often boasts faster build times and potentially lower construction costs compared to traditional methods, which could translate to more affordable housing options.

Impact on Housing Equity:

• Increased Access for Marginalized Groups: The lower financial barrier to entry could open homeownership opportunities to individuals and families who are currently excluded due to income constraints and deposit requirements.

• Wealth Building Opportunities: Even partial homeownership allows individuals to build equity over time, a crucial factor in long-term wealth accumulation and reducing the wealth gap.

• Greater Housing Security: Owning even a portion of a home provides more security than renting, reducing the risk of displacement and instability.

• More Diverse and Inclusive Communities: This model could facilitate the creation of more socio-economically diverse neighborhoods by offering a wider range of ownership options within the same area.

• Adaptability for Changing Life Circumstances: The ability to buy or sell rooms allows households to adjust their housing situation to match evolving needs (e.g., changes in family size, needing space for aging in place), potentially preventing forced moves and maintaining housing equity.

Challenges and Considerations:

As with the general "buy/sell rooms" model, implementing this with Anyplace would still require addressing:

• Legal and Regulatory Frameworks: Current property laws and zoning regulations would need to adapt to accommodate fractional ownership and the unique characteristics of modular homes.

• Financing and Mortgages: New financial products and regulations would be necessary to facilitate the purchase and sale of individual modules.

• Property Management and Governance: Clear rules and agreements would be needed for shared responsibilities and decision-making in multi-module dwellings.

• Valuation and Market Mechanisms: Transparent systems for valuing and trading individual modules would need to be established.

Fantastic night with these beautiful people who we love. Can’t ask for a better team of people to be surrounded by. Thanks team! Thanks Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards for the great night!

Challange the exsisting model.

The prefab industry needs to embrace DfIND: Design for Industrialization. This approach leverages existing industrial production capabilities to manufacture modular structures. By applying DfIND principles, particularly in a market like the USA, we could achieve production rates of thousands of homes per month.

Prioritizing the use of recoverable resources over single-use materials is essential for sustainable practices.
