Core offering

DAYLUN designs, engineers, and manufactures pre-engineered modular net-zero homes using proprietary sustainable building materials — Bamboo OSB, Vegetable Glue, EVAN Board, and an 8x8 interlocking panel system — combined through a patented Wall System. Production and shipping of each home takes 3 months, with on-site assembly completed in 8 hours. The company also sells its proprietary building materials directly through a Shopify storefront and is developing a House Builder software platform for design-to-order with real-time pricing.

Product overview

DAYLUN offers a portfolio of sustainable construction materials and modular building technologies for passive net-zero homes. The core product line includes: Vegetable Glue (bio-based adhesive), EVAN Board (lightweight interior panel), Bamboo OSB (sustainable strand board), and various structural components (Roof Hanger, Waterproof Membrane, SIPs Walls, Sheathing). These are integrated through the proprietary 8x8 Panel System for modular construction. The company is developing a House Builder software platform for 3D modeling, engineering drawings, and ordering. Upcoming products include a Gantry Crane and Electric Generator. DAYLUN's materials integrate into a complete wall system combining OSB sheets, membrane, steel structure, and closed spray foam.

Direct peers

• Plant Prefab: US-based sustainable modular home builder using factory-built panelized and modular systems to deliver custom, net-zero-ready single-family homes — directly comparable to DAYLUN's pre-engineered panel approach and sustainability positioning.
• Nexii Building Solutions: Canadian sustainable construction manufacturer of a proprietary building panel system for low-carbon buildings — directly comparable as a Canadian competitor with factory-built panels for net-zero-ready structures.
• Boxabl: Manufacturer of factory-built folding modular houses aimed at fast, low-cost deployment; comparable in factory-built modular housing with a focus on speed and standardized assembly.
• Cover: Software-driven prefab home company producing custom backyard and primary residences from a kit of factory-finished components, with software that mirrors DAYLUN's planned House Builder design-to-order platform.
• Dvele: Premium sustainable prefab home maker combining smart-home technology, factory precision, and net-zero design — closely aligned with DAYLUN's luxury passive/net-zero positioning.
• Method Homes: US prefab modular builder offering factory-built, sustainable custom homes with an emphasis on net-zero-ready design and rapid deployment — comparable on product, sustainability focus, and direct-to-consumer channel.

Regional players

• BONE Structure: Canadian manufacturer of a light-steel-frame prefab home system marketed as a sustainable, net-zero-ready alternative — comparable as a Canadian prefab competitor, though using steel framing rather than DAYLUN's wood/bamboo panels.

Emerging players

• Hive Modular: Smaller-scale US prefab modular builder producing factory-built custom homes with sustainable materials — an emerging-stage peer facing similar build-versus-buy tradeoffs around panel technology and factory automation.
• Entekra: Fully integrated off-site framing and panelization provider for residential construction — comparable as an emerging player delivering automated factory-built structural panels to builders/developers in the same prefab/panelized space.
