Finally An American Built PREFAB HOME with a Modern Exterior!

welcome back my name is Carrie and today I'm going to show you a prefab home that's built in a state that people ask about all the time once in a while I check to see where people are watching from and every single time the country with the highest amount of viewers is the United States and to be honest it's not really close we're talking Landslide here with that in mind I try to talk about options available in the United States as much as possible and that is exactly what I'm going to do today to sweeten the pot just a little bit more I've got something being built in the most requested State the company I'm talking about is called kit house with their line of modern prefab homes that are available now kit house is a prefab home company located in California with a line of what they describe as modernist prefab homes that transform into anything you want hubs what is an anything you want Hub you ask good question some of the options given include yoga studio home offices weekend Retreats popup kiosks guest rooms reality Escape pods and fully functional accessory dwelling units we we got to back up the truck just a wee bit here okay when I first read reality Escape pods I thought it was those rooms that people pay to try and escape from they're like mystery Escape rooms or whatever but no that's not what they're referring to at all I think a reality Escape pod in the way that they're referring to it is a concept that I've never heard about there's not even much about it on Google I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure you set this thing up in such a way that you go inside and you forget about the trials and tribulations of reality I have no idea what would go into a room like this so if anyone is well versed in the space or has ideas please feel free to share for the purpose of this video I'm more interested in their adus but am probably not done thinking about reality Escape pods packing peanuts you could fill it halfway to the top with packing peanuts and just lay there suck on that reality stupid stupid what they've got going on here is a line of pre-fabricated spaces and dwellings ranging in size from 20 ft all the way up to almost 500 square ft and I am a fan of their modern look before I get into their floor plans probably Mak sense to have a look at their background the company was started by co-founders Tom sandonato and Martin Wellman who have a background in design way back in 2005 they set out to revolutionize the world of prefab and one of the ways they're doing that is with their patented lightweight construction system that enables them to transport to demanding locations because they aren't Towing an entire finished home with their system all of their pieces are pre-cut marked and drilled at their Factory in Southern California and then assembled at site the parts come flat packed and then get put together by their team of expert installers and take a week or more to set up depending on the location and the size of the unit purchased some of the benefits associated with their construction system they've got listed include the fact that their aluminum construction is impervious to rust termites and Mold Plus it never needs painting their website says they've got Superior Energy Efficiency thanks to do structurally insulated floors walls and ceilings as well as highquality dual glaze windows and doors if you want to get your hands on one of their units they broken down the process in their FAQ section under how do I buy one it says it's easy perfect it goes on to say tell us what you want including accessories and we'll prepare a quote let's call that step one if you like the quote step two would be to pay a 50% deposit with the balance duet delivery step three is shipment which usually takes about 8 to 14 weeks from the time of deposit finally step four would be the install and setup it's noted further down that technically you can build out the kit house yourself however they definitely urge buyers to let their professional installers do it for them please be my guest no problem with that at all one of the reasons noted is that the construction system requires specific tools and know how to assemble correctly and efficiently with full warranty protection doesn't mean it's impossible but to me it does sound like they're advising against doing the thing yourself I'm curious so how many people watching this feel they could DIY one of these things themselves no not me if someone decides they want to be Hands-On in the install they do Supply detailed plans along with phone and online support if that's not enough and you want to meet somewhere in the middle it's possible to hire one of their text to assist on the job site so there are options here we like options let's have a look at a few of their units the smallest series currently available from kid house is known as the K3 and usually I wouldn't spend a ton of time on it because typically it would just be an accessory space not today in their K3 line they're running a unit that has a bathroom and a kitchenet so definitely have to check it out the description says this little Powerhouse works hard as a backyard Studio home office poolhouse playroom or anything you want pot starts at 32,000 before anyone gets too excited $32,000 isn't going to get you the bathroom or kitchenet so let's not get ahead of ourselves here however right down at the bottom of the K3 series list they've got the k312 a studio with bath plus kitchenet Adu the K 3.12 studio is listed with dimensions of 13x13 for a total footprint of 169 Square ft the floor plan shows a desk so the intention for this unit is likely geared more toward a deluxe office than a dwelling basically what they've got is the bathroom and kitchenet across the back wall then open space up front and glass across the entire front and part of one side tell you what it would be nice to have a kitchen net so you could warm up a couple Hot Pockets during the day if you're setting one of these things up to work in in the yard I have a feeling most people are looking for something a little bigger so in the words of Joseph deer let's keep on keeping on the next series up in size is their k4.6 and I'm going to speed through this one because it's quite similar to the K 3.12 but instead of 13x13 it's 13x 17 for a total of 226 Square ft like usual an increase in size equals an increase in price and to move from one to the other adds $113,000 we're getting War but let's keep going they've got a K5 and a k6 series both of which have some cool looking models but to keep this thing at a reasonable length I'm just going to skip right to their best offering at the top of the kid house food chain they've got the K 9.12 and not only does it have the bathroom in kitchen but it's also got a proper bedroom with dimensions of 13 ft wide by 38 ft long for a total of just under 500 square ft first things first I like what they've done with this look it has a modern exterior combining horizontal siding with metal accents on the corners and periodically down the side of the home that looks great the front and side have what I guess you could call a Pergola style overhang not sure if that's a technical term for what we're looking at but too bad this is the perfect example of what can be included in the k9. one2 the living room is located on the front of the home with double access out to the patio if the unit ends up in a climate that supports it a great way to be able to open things up and enjoy a version of indoor outdoor living I've heard the climate in California is great so check something people ask about about all the time is laundry and they've got it handled in the bedroom nobody panic having a look at the floor plan the way they have this model set up as I mentioned there are entrances on the front and side near the corner I'm almost thinking that was a custom request on this specific model and the standard comes with a door and a window instead of two doors I'll need to confirm that though so at this point it's fully speculation the entrance is into the living room which takes up the first 16 ft of the home before entering into the kitchen the kitchen shows a cooktop fridge microwave dishwasher and Pantry so every required for me to run all my top programs the bathroom is accessed through a pocket door between the fridge and pantry and has a shower unit toilet and vanity at the back of the home they've got the bedroom which has a nice big corner window a closet and what looks like it might be space for the stacking washer dryer this is by far their best layout that could work well for a lot of people let me know your thoughts if nothing jumps out at you from their stock line it's also noted that they'll build custom it says kid house regularly works with businesses and residential clients to create custom applications such as pergolas carports fashion kiosks trade show booths retail popups and event environments if you have an idea that you aren't seeing on their list it sounds to me like they'll at least entertain it so there you go before I wrap this thing up I am going to get into their pricing but keep in mind prices can and usually do change but will be accurate at the time of posting this video the K 3.12 has a base price of $65,000 the K 4.12 has a base price of $78,000 and the K9 .12 has a base price of $148,000 keep in mind that doesn't include shipping because they can't calculate the shipping cost until they know where it's going kid house is a prefab home company located in California with a line of structures and dwellings that get set up on site California has by far the most viewers on my channel so it'll be interesting to hear the feedback of what they got going on I think they're a cool option with a long track record so I'll be following along with what they're up to and posting updates right here on my YouTube channel that's all I've got for today if you like manufactured home videos make sure to subscribe to my channel because I've got new ones coming out every single week thanks for watching see you in the next one
