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!

Reviews from mission participants (1)
This was my first Epic Homes build. It was a wonderful experience for me as I get to meet new people and made new friends as well. The environment was very positive and everyone did their best to finish the house by Day 3. The core team members were very supportive of us and they took care of us very well.
At the end of the build, I felt so much more confident in handling tools and reaching to high places where I never knew I could before. Good job teams!!
