Novel idea, I think that I may have seen something similar here on the forum but can't find it. $49,000 british pounds or $76,000. Great for the mechanically inclined.

Completely forgot but I had done a research paper on the Eames House back in college. Exact same idea - cheap housing for US soldiers coming home from the war, customizable and low cost.

Awesome! I'd love to see a customizable one where they cut the steel to your needs. I thought about doing this a while back as a business plan. People send in their plans and you design all of the framing, cut it to length, and wood that's ready to be assembled. Probably even easier with steel.

I have a buddy that had a metal stud framing/drywall business for years, he was debating the same thing  but the money he was making doing sub work on large commercial buildings was just too good.
