Sorry, I was gone for a few days there. So, if I was to try my cost-saving strategy on something like this, which is mostly labor and that's the easiest part to improve on, and also save on the facilities costs, share some techniques with the vendors with the equipment needed(the next biggest number), this could easily come down to less than $50 million, maybe $35 million.

At $15,000 profit per home, that represents the profit from about 2500 homes, which just happens to be the number of homes a local county cut from a developers planned 6,000 units because the developer couldn't provide the necessary utilities infrastructure...which my house designs wouldn't need in the first place.

So, if you know a developer that is having a problem getting their project approved somewhere, we can help them get through permitting and zoning process and build those extra houses and share in the profits, and there's your money.

Know any builder/developer's?
No I do not know any.

Do you have a weblink to your housing plans?

Do you have any idea what to put in a 100,000 ton rocket to provide a space colony with comfortable enough home and supplies for 10 years. I read a NASA site showing that for any trip less than 12 years in length it is more cost effective to just carry food and water supplies rather than growing them but I lost that link which is a shame as it was quite a detailed list. I recall it was from the Lunar Instititute of technology (LIT) for starship design plans archieves but the list was a nasa link. Thanx for the comment Tom2Mars
