Here’s a time-lapse video of one of the first Huf Haus prefabs in the country. Offered through Cleveland-based DotGreen, these homes are precision built in Germany and shipped in containers to the project site. Then, with the help of the local architect, in this case Sage Designs NW, the general contractor, Schmoes Construction, and the structural engineer, Visser Engineering, the timber-frame prefab is assembled.
This luxe prefab was assembled in about eight days in Issaquah, Washington. It’s on track for Built Green Five Star certification, and we’ll try to showcase more of the home soon.

Eight days, really? And everybody is slapping each other on the back?

Any idea on the price?
It must cost a lot with shipping
9-containers shipped from Germany, 8-days to assemble. This house must have a large carbon food-print. Why couldn’t it have been manufactured locally in the US?
