Wood Framing System
Japan
This system allows an unskilled
crew of 6 to completely
assemble a house in a couple of
days.
After discovering this
technology I developed
relationships in Japan to
successfully adapt for US code
approvals, created and
performed structural testing
plans and raised $5M in capital
to start the first plant in the US.
Designed, pre-cut and built
over 12 homes in MN and WI.
Created a national
marketing buzz leading
to inquiries and stories
from Builder Magazine,
Popular Science and 14
newspapers across the
country from the
Washington Post to the
San Francisco Times.
Over 500 people from
all 50 states and 6
countries inquired
about the system in one
years time.
