THE BASIC BUILDER WORKSHOP

Building an EPIC Home for the first time? Before joining a build, you must first join a Basic Builder Workshop. There, you’ll learn the basic skills and safety training needed to build an EPIC Home!


How do I sign up for the Basic Builder Workshop?
After purchasing your ticket for this build, you will be emailed an access code which you can use to sign up for the Basic Builder Workshop.

View upcoming Basic Builder Workshops on our mission page.

Returning Builders who have joined a Basic Builder Workshop before do not need to join it again - see you at the build!

THE OUTCOME
We hope that throughout the build, volunteers will develop a deeper understanding of how the Orang Asli live, and that volunteers put themselves in the shoes of the community. We're essentially building a closer relationship with the Orang Asli community whilst also strengthening the relationships and dynamics of your team!
THE ATTITUDE
Approach and talk to the family! Strike up a conversation and leave a positive and lasting impression. They are usually shy, especially the women, and they may be a little hesitant to approach you in such a big group.
Be open to new things as different communities tend to work differently. Who knows? You could even learn a thing or two!
THE SPONSORS
This is a build made possible by the Government of Malaysia.

This build is part of the Project 100: Stage 2 Campaign. Find out more on our website here.




EPIC Homes is EPIC's flagship initiative that aims to build trust and relationships with marginalized communities in order to create cooperative, resilient and sustainable communities through the simple act of building home - addressing the issue of access to safe housing among marginalized communities.

EPIC strives to equip individuals to be able to engage with communities, build trust and relationships via participatory processes in research, planning & implementation with the facilitation of socio-technical & domain experts. Through this, shared experiences are cultivated, which heightens the community, external supporters & overall awareness of our inter-relationships and interactions within the space we occupy.


  We have Built 200+ Homes.

 We have a builder community of over 5,000 volunteers.

  We have worked with over 10 villages across Peninsular Malaysia.

  An EPIC Home only takes 3 - 5 days to build!

    Over the past three days, my team has accomplished something truly remarkable, and I couldn't be prouder of them. We've been working tirelessly on a challenging project that required not only technical expertise but also creativity, collaboration, and resilience.

    From brainstorming sessions to late-night coding marathons, everyone brought their A-game. Each team member played a crucial role, whether it was solving complex problems, developing innovative solutions, or ensuring everything came together seamlessly. The level of dedication and teamwork displayed was nothing short of epic.

    It's amazing to see how much we can achieve when we come together and give it our all. This success is a testament to the hard work, talent, and unity of our team. I am incredibly proud and grateful for each and every one of them.

    I enjoyed meeting new people and learning new skills while also making a positive impact for the Orang Asli community; it was a great experience

    As a first-time builder, everyone was super helpful and I was guided to do each task well. The homestay accomodation was also lovely and it was amazing to be in the village learning together. Wish there was more facilitated interaction amongt the build team and also with the orang asli. Breakfast was Malaysian style ;) We gathered at a mamak each morning and ordered what we liked~

    Transport, however, could be improved especially for participants who live really far away e.g. from southern Selangor to the kampung in the northern side. We were expected to be at the venue at 7am on a Friday via carpool and this entirely depended on other participants who may or may not have cars/stay near you.

    Nevertheless, 10/10 would come back again to learn more and contribute better.
