SIP Prefab House Kit (Structural Insulated Panels) - cheap and green





Starting around 23,000 USD dollars, this is a perfect solution for a 3 bedroom 1200 square foot home that can be customized per end user or site. The kits are bare bones: you get design and structure (SIPs exterior walls & roof, and design documents). End user will need to finish the house with a local contractor. They have created a list of windows, cladding & doors to order directly through the vendor to make it easy on purchasers and their contractor.


This then gives you great design, but allows you to choose the systems and finishes that best compliment your lifestyle and budget, thus making it your own.


A very important consideration when looking for a home lot is the structure’s passive solar design. In order to be their most efficient, these homes must have their designated wall facing true south, and with enough room to have their passive solar design work best.


The Casa Ti is one of the single family units that have been designed but they have larger units available and more traditional design as well.
