Can we build homes that are affordable, off-grid, and immune to hurricanes—all in under a week?
In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino interviews David Pressler, founder of SafeDomes.com, to explore the potential of Quonset huts—a WWII-era design making a comeback in disaster-prone regions. David shares why Quonset-style homes could be the solution to housing affordability, off-grid living, and natural disaster resilience, and why most builders don’t want you to know they exist.
What You'll Learn:
- What Quonset huts are and how they’ve never failed in a wind or flood event
- Why these steel-panel structures are ideal for hurricane, tornado, and fire zones
- How insulating the outside of a home can slash energy use by 70%
- Why big builders resist adopting faster, cheaper building methods
- The challenges and future of safe, affordable, and insurable housing
