Calling all ocean enthusiasts! Ocean Builders is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking initiative that will make your dream of sustainable ocean living more accessible and affordable: embracing prefabrication for SeaPod construction!

While we are still in the early stages of this transformation, we have been thinking about how to make it happen for so long that the roadmap is very clear. And we are sharing it with you!

A Paradigm Shift: Why Prefabrication?

Our initial SeaPods were built entirely in-house, showcasing our meticulous craftsmanship. However, we realized that building everything from scratch proved time-consuming and resource-intensive, demanding extensive manual labor.

Prefabrication offers a transformative solution. By collaborating with specialized suppliers for pre-fabricated components, we unlock a new era of:

• Faster Construction: Imagine SeaPods emerging swiftly, not over years! Prefabrication significantly reduces construction timelines, bringing you closer to your ocean haven sooner.
• Enhanced Cost-Effectiveness: Economies of scale from specialized manufacturers translate to lower overall SeaPod costs, making your ocean dream more affordable.
• Unwavering Quality Standards: Experts crafting specific components ensure consistent quality across the board, guaranteeing your SeaPod’s durability and performance.
• Streamlined Assembly: Pre-built pieces fit together flawlessly, minimizing human error and simplifying on-site construction. The result is a smooth and efficient process.

Charting the Course: How We’re Making it Happen

Our prefabrication journey began with a critical requirement: everything must fit within standard shipping containers. This ensures flexible global delivery, wherever your dream ocean location awaits.

Next, we meticulously dissected the SeaPod design into modular components, maximizing symmetry and repetition for cost-effective manufacturing. Think of it as building with precision-engineered blocks, but on an ocean-worthy scale!

At the assembly site, our skilled teams will utilize a mix of techniques like welding, bolting, and resins to bring your SeaPod to life. While the specific component breakdown is still under refinement by our passionate construction team, the focus remains clear: efficiency, affordability, and minimal post-assembly work.

Where in the World Will We Build?

Currently, our Panama facility manufactures and houses our initial SeaPods. But the beauty of prefabrication lies in its location-agnostic nature. Components can be built anywhere and shipped to your desired ocean haven!

We still need to finetune the details, but the overall plan is for our on-site assembly teams to either work directly at your chosen location or collaborate with local factories. We will keep you updated with this as we progress. Additionally, prefabrication allows us to source components from the most geographically relevant manufacturers, further optimizing costs and delivery times.

The Future is Prefabricated!

Prefabrication marks a pivotal step forward for Ocean Builders. It allows us to deliver high-quality, sustainable SeaPods faster and more affordably, opening the possibilities of ocean living to a wider audience.

Stay tuned for further updates as we navigate this exciting new chapter! And remember, the ocean awaits – are you ready to embark on your journey in a prefabricated SeaPod?
