The Affordability Crisis Is JBS's Opportunity

Washington State's median home price of $512,000 has priced out millions of buyers. Tiny homes at $51K–$198K represent a 60–90% cost reduction — and JBS builds them right here in Western Washington.

WA Median Home: $512K100%
JBS Shaughnessy (3BR): $198K39%
JBS Seattle Cottage (2BR): $148K29%
JBS Iris (Studio): $52K10%

From Wholesale to Direct-to-Customer

JBS's previous revenue relied heavily on a single wholesale buyer. Shifting to D2C eliminates that single point of failure and dramatically improves margins.

Why JBS Wins in D2C

Johnston Building Services has three structural advantages that most tiny home competitors simply cannot match.

🚛
4
West Coast States Served
JBS already ships fully assembled homes and kit panels up and down the Pacific Coast. Most competitors are regional only. This is a real competitive moat.
📦
2x
Revenue Streams
Both fully assembled delivery and kit/panel sales open two distinct customer segments — those who want turnkey and those who want to build. Kit sales carry 18% lower cost with similar margins.
