Project Overview
Built, marketed and sold as a Net Zero ready home.
We guaranteed the buyer they would not have energy bills.

- Assess the available lot inventory and proposed the purchase of the raw land
- Oversaw the design and engineering
- Procured the building permits and other entitlements.
- Set up the financing.
