      Now do structural calculations for the roof, foundation, walls. Heating calculations for HVAC and insulation. Whatever calcs for the water and wastewater. That’s about 3 or 4 engineering degrees! Don’t forget all those trades to install it all correctly! That’s another what 10 years for all of them. I doubt you can do the actual electrical calcs for wire sizing (actual engineering calculations). Can’t forget architecture for building envelope. Gas line. The list just keeps going. Ok I have to stop trying to reason with a housecat with Dunning Kruger. Chow to whatever simplistic reply you may have.

        Dude what are you on about… I’m guessing you’re a tradesman or a landlord. I just hate the design of my current home, and really would’ve preferred to build something more insulated, and build with more resilient materials. I’m literally talking about a small structure between two shipping containers. Just to me housing shouldn’t be as gatekept as you seem to support. New housing is like a ponzi scheme of low quality materials built to maximize profit.
