Building A Better Tomorrow
Sustainable practices help us minimize our impact on the plant.
*Based on two trees planted by the Arbor Day Foundation for every estimated tree used in our home building process in the previous year; assuming estimated board feet used at 754 board feet per tree and average square footage of our homes built by type.

A Strong Foundation
Our pier and beam foundations use massive anchors driven deep into the ground to secure your home against the elements, and we have crawl space, slab or basement options to suit any need.
2” x 6” floor joists on 16” centers means we use 48% more joists in our average home*, which combined with our interlocking floor decking ensures a solid sub-floor.
*Compared to 24” center floor joists in a 56’ multi-section home.
Exterior Walls
Keep your world cozy, comfortable & secure with 2” x 4” studs on 16” centers that are packed with R11 insulation to help with energy efficiency while ThermoPly structural sheathing provides durability, moisture resistance and a best in class air barrier.

Actual savings vary by home, usage, climate, and utility rates. “Up to 50%” savings apply only to EnergySmart® Zero.
