DIY Panels to construct your own home with green materials

Kokoon Homes is an environmentally conscious home building component manufacturer located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Toccoa, GA.  Basically you buy green panels that can be fitted together to create a home. 
They are affordable, energy efficient, lightweight, easy to assemble steel  wall panels, flooring systems and finished roof trusses. They assemble quickly and with little effort, so a person with average skills and minimal tools can build their own home or shelter.


Engineered, patented design for fast, easy assembly. 
High grade, 18 ga. galvanized, recycled steel built to 24" o.c.
Interchangeable panels in 2', 4', 6' and 8' lengths


All wall components are universally interchangeable and are 8' tall with a maximum width of 8' and have a soy based closed cell foam insulation to R23 (nominal). All panels are termite and fire proof and mold/mildew resistant. The galvanized 18 ga. steel frame is designed for roof trusses at 24" o.c. which can be shipped locally. The exterior OSB wall is ready to finish with any siding or brick/stone. No house wrap is needed. The 8x8 panel weighs just at 255 lbs. All panels can be set on a slab, basement or crawlspace foundation.  

No crane needed for placement. Standard cordless drill, sawzall, and circular saw are all that are needed for assembly. Wall panels are easily carried by 2 people (100-255 lbs. each). A 1500 sq. ft . house can be loaded on a standard 2 axle trailer and pulled by any 1/2 ton truck.


This option looks like a normal house, yet is easy to put together
