00:00 is 3D building in a secure, warm, dry location,
00:05 built in a factory under factory conditions,
00:09 rather than taking bricks and sand and timber to a field.
00:14 Cost-wise is similar to a traditional,
00:19 but you have the shorter period on time.
00:21 So there will be a saving there.
00:22 And we use less material in the ground
00:26 because of our buildings are a little bit lighter
00:29 than traditional buildings.
00:31 And the average time can be,
00:33 we can build modules in about 20 days.
00:35 Then they come to site and it's about two weeks
00:37 to land them and hand them over.
00:40 I think the government have incentivized people
00:43 to build off-site by giving a larger grant
00:45 to build off-site 'cause we can build houses quickly.
00:49 That's probably the main reason
00:52 why people are trying to change now.
00:54 And also the massive shortage of labor now.
00:57 You can't get labor where you used to get labor
00:59 quite easily, and now any labor you get is very expensive.
