Entry/ADU Build

Our commitment to environmental sustainability and the health of the people that live in our homes is demonstrated in the extra care that goes into our construction and our choice of materials. Our 26’x8.5’ home is $95k and our 26’x12’ home is $115k, with no hidden “upgrades” necessary. We go above and beyond on all of our builds, whether it’s a base model or fully customized.
