Prefab and Kit Breakdown

Shipping our material kit

For customers within 2 hours of our St. Peter's, Canada base, we can handle the entire build.

For everyone else, we ship our House Material Kit (item 1 on this page) in three bundles. We can also prefabricate your wall assemblies if you prefer.

We ship our house components from our location, 

We source some of the lumber components and roof truss system in the customer’s local area (cost savings and lesser environmental impact);

Our energy saver certified window and door supplier is set up for North American logistics and these are shipped direct to your location.

If you’d rather go the prefab route to minimize disruption and save on time to the weathertight stage, just let us know!

With pre set packages available from grade 1 to 5 or custom with one of our planners.

Mechanical systems

We have selected an electrically run system for heating, cooling, and hot water (although we also work with customers that have different needs, depending on geographic location, fuel availability, etc.)

There is no furnace required in our house's, and the footprint of the mechanical room is very small!

The systems used are entirely driven by electricity, and a small amount at that.

Many of our customers want to go Net Zero, meaning they will install a solar panel system to generate as much energy as their home needs to run coupled with geothermal. This is incredibly easy to achieve.

We strive that our  builds are so energy efficient, it’s actually Net Positive, creating more energy than it needs.
