It empowers a small group of friends to assemble the shell of a small house, say 400-800 ft\u00b2, in a matter of days.\u00a0 Once the strong and energy efficient base enclosure is in place, there are several other cost-reducing paths to transform it into a comfortable finished home.\u00a0 This site explores those paths.<\/p><p>In sum, WikiHouse represents <strong>a break from the past and an opportunity<\/strong> to create a cottage-industry economy that can provide plentiful starter
