We are starting to narrow down our options for the materials and finishing that we will use for the tablet enclosures throughout the house.These enclosures will hold the tablets that are used to control all of the home automation features that the home has. The tablets will be permanently mounted to the wall but will […]
There are many reasons why we are building the SeaPods. Sustainable living, restoring the ecosystem, making the oceans habitable, and more. One of the most rewarding things and one of our biggest goals is to deliver the beautiful views that you can see in this short video.Grant is on the Pod and enjoying the view […]
Things are moving along nicely in the EcoPod as we get closer to the launch! The kitchen cabinets that we were working on recently are finally being installed in the Pod. As you can see, there is a ton of cabinet space in the kitchen, in fact, there is more storage space in the EcoPod […]
Grant is back inside the factory to give us a look at part of the process of building the Wazebo floor. Like a lot of aspects of the Pods, these floor sections are made out of fiberglass that is formed in molds. The mold makes one-quarter of the floor at a time and since the […]
Grant is back on the EcoPod to give us a quick look at the living room cabinets and how they will be laid out. Storage space is always a problem in small homes so we wanted to make sure that this wouldn’t be a sacrifice that you have to make to live on the water. […]
Picture this, you and your team of hard-working people united by their passion for a shared vision organize a million-dollar grand opening event. A two-day event, ripe with sciences, engineering, and lots of technology. Day One — a smashing success — we hosted over 300 people from all over the world, in the renowned Panama […]
We are getting the flashing installed on the center dock. We made 8 of these fiberglass pieces that will go around the entire circumference of the dock. We had to measure and then drill holes in the flashing so that it would slide over the posts for the railing.The purpose of the flashing is to […]
Sometimes the small details can make a huge difference, and that is definitely the case with this step. We will be using these step covers in the spiral staircase that goes to the living area of the Pod and then up to the roof level.The step itself is made of fiberglass and has small groves […]
It soon will be time for showers with a star’s view! We’ve done quite some work on the skylight window and it’s ready for shipping. When we designed the Pods, we didn’t know whether we would build a roof access or not. But very soon it appeared that YES, we really needed that. For many […]
It was a big moment for the Ocean Builders’ team when we pulled out the Pod’ spar structure from the water. How did the steel structure withstood one year in sea water? From being anxious about the outcome, we became very happy about how the outcome as the “organic concrete” (as we call the calcium […]
Let’s get to the roof! Specifically, let’s discuss what we used to protect the roof and what choices we had: organic coating Vs. foam insulation. Grant settled on the roof with coating specialist to benefit from his technical expertise on this topic. By definition, roofs get exposed to everything nature can possibly throw at. Sun, […]
“Welcome home”! That’s what we will say…once we will be done with the Pods’ entrance. We’re not there yet, but we are definitely making great progress so it should come sooner than later. We are now working on the center dock, or in other words, what will become the porch of your future home. Specifically, […]

With the help of this ring, you have control of the smart home systems, appliances, and payment processes within a single convenient solution. At Ocean Builders, we love technology as much as we love sustainable living innovation. […]
You know that time where you dreamed of having the batmobile you were playing with? It sure was Grant’s dream and his tenacity in getting Ocean Builders together made it come true as we are testing the The ASTRO (Autonomous Surface Transport & Recycling Operations) ASV(Autonomous Surface Vessel) This floating Batmobile-looking drone will be in […]
While Ocean Builders is advocating for minimalism as a way to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle, we all need storage! Thus, we are designing and building all the Pods cabinetry in-house to ensure the best fit.The tiny house movement is very popular around the world as a way to reduce our possessions, and our Pods […]
It’s “Crunch” time for the wazebo benches! We are very excited to put the final touch on these key elements of our Pods for one of their most important uses: relaxing. But for now, we only have a few days left before launch on the water! If you follow our promising progress, you know that […]
A night at sea is nearly a reality as we are making great progress in the bedroom’s construction. Soon, we will launch it in the water and we are all hoping that Grant will let us enjoy a night in the Pod!Do you remember when around that time last year we were taking you on […]
An important feature of every home is the flooring. We don’t often realize that because it is just there, but you know how we realize how important our toes are once we break them? That’s why we put so much care into installing the Pod’s flooring carefully. We had experience in installing this type of […]
August 2021: a team of visionary Ocean Builders achieved a major milestone by putting in the water the test tripod frame that will be supporting our futuristic floating homes. We then took it for a spin! A little bit more than a year later, we pulled it out for inspection. Spoiler alert, we are thrilled […]

Automatic Balancing System
Grant Romundt Construction
Since the SeaPods will be in the ocean, there is not a solid foundation that keeps the home permanently still. The ocean is an ever-changing environment and keeping things balanced in an ever-changing environment is a crucial part of keeping the home safe. Another factor about a floating home is that the weight will be […]
