After being manufactured in Vancouver, Bloks are trucked to the construction site where they are craned onto the foundation, connected utilities, and stacked up to five stories high. Seattle start-up Blokable, the CEO of which is ex-Amazon product manager Aaron Holm, is raising cash for its modular housing units, Bloks. The aim is to remove 30% to 50% of build time and as a result cut 10% of costs for developers. In an interview with TechCrunch, Holm said that he was looking at building his first home in about two years but had no idea how much it would cost. The company has raised $1.36m towards its goal of $3m. Blok homes also come with smart technology, with wall-mounted tablets that control temperature and lighting among other things.
