Our Process

 

Feasibility

For the feasibility portion of our process, we work with the Department of Community Development for your county to determine everything that your parcel will require for building. This includes things such as septic or sewer, water, power, setbacks, wetlands and other parameters. We also consider the topography of your land to help ascertain what kind of foundation your home will require. We also determine driveway siting, tree removal and other site work that will need to be done before construction.

Design

We design your home by visiting your land and considering the needs of your individual parcel. We take into consideration the location of other structures, topography of the land, sun path for passive solar gains and any potential scenic views. We incorporate tall windows and ceiling heights and create custom spaces for the individual needs of each client whether you need ADA friendly design or a yoga studio. We excel at small space optimization to keep a small footprint on the land. Most importantly, we source and implement healthy non-toxic building components and design elements that have low to no off-gassing. We always recommend using local artisans whenever possible as part of our Art We Live In ethos.

Permitting

There are many elements to the permitting system and we handle all of them. We work hand in hand with each city/county to meet or exceed the requirements determined by their codes. These requirements include things such as site information, geological studies, energy guidelines, rainwater runoff mitigation, wetland delineations, engineering, and more. We have experts on our team to navigate the entire permitting process on your behalf.

Construction

Greenpod homes use Structurally Insulated Panels (SIP’s) for an energy efficient shell and metal roofing for greater longevity. SIPs High Performance Building Envelope (HPBE) systems deliver exceptional sustainability. SIPs are one of the most airtight and well-insulated building systems available, making them an inherently green product. Most of our homes’ SIP shells are erected in as little as 2 to 3 days saving both time and labor. Our siding consists of a mix of steel and Hardie Panels resulting in superior durability. Other materials can be used such as Corten and colored concrete if desired. The typical cost of a Greenpod home starts at approximately $450 per sq ft.

We specialize in completely turn-key dwellings but we can accommodate a shell-only structure for the DIYer. Our foundations can be perimeter, slab or even pin foundation if the design allows. Pin foundations have the least impact on the land. We can also integrate rainwater catchment, solar panels, and other self sufficient systems. Full customization is our specialty.
