Wesgroup, Renewal Development, and the ShΓshΓ‘lh Nation were able to truck and barge some existing houses near my place up to Sechelt for a second life. Cost for this project is estimated at 60%-80% of from-scratch construction (20%-40% savings as the article puts it). #bcpoli

I can heartily recommend this approach for getting started. Theyβre very easy to put together and back away. You can also just stick the modules on an IKEA shelf as a starting point for something that stays out.
