Project Info Form for New Buildings and Additions

Thank you for your interest in high-performance natural building. We are a small, specialized design-build company focused on high-performance natural buildings. Our clients have a strong commitment to using carbon-smart materials such as straw bale, straw-clay, and clay plaster, and cutting-edge technologies such as heat pump water heating and passive solar orientation, to create deeply sustainable buildings. We do not design or build conventional, code-minimum buildings. We are not the fastest or the cheapest: we build high-quality homes and high-quality relationships with our clients.

Because we focus on quality over quantity, we can only take on a few clients per year.  

To be considerate of everyone’s time, please make sure you can answer “Yes” to questions 1-4 before contacting us:

Question Title

* 1. Are you committed to using natural, carbon-smart materials and technologies to build your home? We ask this because we only design and build high-performance natural buildings - we do not design or build code-minimum or conventional buildings.

Question Title

* 2. Are you looking for a builder as well as a designer? We ask this because we only design for buildings we will build - we do not sell plans or design for buildings that someone else will build. We do sometimes build for projects we did not design. If you are looking for subcontracting services, please skip this form and contact us directly.

Question Title

* 3. Is your project in San Diego County? We ask this because it is not sustainable to commute long distances to work so we only accept jobs in San Diego County.

Question Title

* 4. Are you looking for a high-quality company even if you may have to wait for their services? We ask this because our focus is on quality buildings and quality relationships - we are not the cheapest or the fastest option. We are a small, specialized company and we only accept a few projects a year which can result in a waiting list.
