Another heavy lifting day at Ocean Builder’s factory as Grant is witnessing the handling of the first underwater room steel wall.To prepare for raising the wall of this innovative part of the SeaPod, we are using our best tool ever, the telehandler.It’s a delicate operation for which we definitely need it because the steel wall […]

We are back with Omer for an updated look at the progress that he has been making on our Gesture AI technology. Gesture AI allows you to control different things in your home by simply waving your hand or making certain gestures that the system will recognize.This sounds crazy, but the video below will help […]
Grant is back up the hill in the factory to show us the progress on the custom stairs that we are making for the EcoPod. These stairs will be a continuation of the spiral staircase that brings you from the center dock to the main floor of the EcoPod. The main entrance stairs have beautiful […]
Here we have a look at the mold for the dinner chairs that will be on the Wazebo. The Wazebo will have a large table in the middle with bench seating around the outside that is perfect for lounging. When you want to sit at the table to eat, we will have these movable chairs […]
Omer is back at the manufacturing facility to check out the progress on version 2 of the main door. So far, this updated version is looking great and should solve the issues that we had with the first iteration.To start, the door is more rigid. The previous door had a lot of noise because the […]
The SeaPod is packed with home automation technology that will make life on the water more convenient. We automated every aspect that we could and the lock on the “front” door is no different.The front door can be easily locked or unlocked from your home automation app on the tablets inside the home as well […]
The SeaPod is a very futuristic-looking house, and it’s of course full of amazing technology, but there is still something old fashioned still required: a door. Well, our door is not exactly that old-fashion because of a few things. First, it’s custom-made and curved to fit the center dock entrance that we recently finished. Second, […]
Having a great view is what every homeowner is dreaming of, and there definitely won’t be any shortage of this when living on the SeaPod! Enough of imaging why we are doing this, let us show you what will be your backyard view! Obviously, the Pod’s localization will be of tremendous importance, but we are […]
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 […]
“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, […]
We are getting down to the nitty-gritty on the floating spar. The painting continues! We have all of the protective paint and white paint applied and now the crew is finishing up the blue paint on the outriggers. We started with protective paint to prevent corrosion on the surface, but it doesn’t look great so […]
Paint, paint, paint!!! We have had lots of painting going on at the factory during these last few days. We have completed most of the exterior finishing work on the EcoPod and begun to paint the outside. We are using paint guns to spray on even layers of paint to the entire exterior of the […]
Our big global launch event is coming up very soon and we are working hard to get everything ready. One of the recent accomplishments by our team was to get the spiral staircase inside of the center spar installed and painted. This spiral staircase will serve as the main entry point into the Pods. The […]
The time has come to get the spars on the TriPod base painted! As you can see in the video below, the steel looks rusty. This is just surface rust that is totally normal and doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the steel. It is unavoidable in the humid climate we are working in here […]
Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to having a small off-grid home like the SeaPod. We want to minimize every bit of energy that we use so that we can keep things cheaper and less wasteful which will lead to the home being more eco-friendly. Having on-demand hot water is a […]
The front door has been quite the unexpected headache but we believe that this updated version will be what we need to get started on door production. We recently had another door built which was close but needed some revisions. The model that we had made had an issue with the window pane rubbing against […]
We have had a spiral staircase here at the factory for about a year and a half that we use to get to the second level of our offices. We wanted to build this staircase to the exact dimensions that we will be using in the spar of our homes so that we could test […]
Biodiversity AI is one of the coolest emerging technologies that we are really excited about. This tech will allow us to view and monitor the biodiversity in the area so that we can see how things change and grow over time. The AI will be able to identify species that are in the area and […]
We are back at the factory with some very exciting news, the roof has been raised! We got the first SeaPod roof lifted and placed on the center spar where it will be mounted. This process took quite a bit of work and cooperation but we are in good shape now. The roof has a […]

Raising the first wall of the underwater room
Grant Romundt Construction
We never have enough heavy lifting at the factory and that’s an excellent thing because for the actual part of raising the wall of the underwater room, a delicate operation has to be done.The telehandler clamps are securely grabbing the heavy steel sheet to lift it into place.It’s a centimeter-by-centimeter operation as we need to […]
