VALUE ENGINEERING PART II
May 30, 2024
MAY 30, 2024 We had our second meeting to follow up from last week’s value engineering ideas. I want to preface this by saying I work with really smart people. I don’t understand what they say or do, but they know how to make really cool houses come to life. Here’s what I took from…
VALUE ENGINEERING PART I
May 23, 2024
MAY 23, 2024 Long time, no blog. We met today with Offsite Construction Leaders, Panel Designers, Residential Designers, and Truss Gurus. I won’t lie, I was frustrated this meeting was happening.

CONCRETE FOUNDATION PART I
May 2, 2024
MAY 2, 2024 This week we pivoted. Operation Strawberry Box is a reserach and development project. R&D is, by definition, work directed toward the innovation, introduction, and improvement of products and processes. There are 5ish stages (depending on what article you find online ha).
