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 170+ 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!

As a first time builder, I had an amazing time learning how to build a house in 3 days! The majority of builders this time were all first timers and we managed to complete this build! What a great sense of accomplishment. Also, the bonding time during our makan sessions and our evening discussions were really fun.
