Point #1: ECO understands cost control through our support of many cutting-edge small square footage residential projects. We engineered the www.the99khouse.com" contest winner which was designed to sell for just $99,000.
Point #2: As a T.D.I. Windstorm program engineer, we know how to build strong structures. All of our T.D.I. coastal zone structures had no damage against Ike. Our structures include cutting-edge building technologies (SIP, SCIP, AAC, ICF). A recent example is this piling foundation based SIP commercial project under construction in Seabrook.
Point #3: We just like small houses. But unfortunately we see a lack of designer or builder support. So we directly offer a our ideas for small, simple, strong, and energy efficient plans. Just click [COASTAL], [CITY], or [COUNTRY] now to see them.
Point #4: There is a general lack of local, small, smart, 'green' homes. Why is that?
Because most builders sell the lowest first cost building method they know of. Then they sell the biggest home they can afford in any area. More sf = more $ so there is no interest to sell "super-insulated" or "small and energy efficiently". They have no to try alternative building methods - even if they cost the same, are stronger, and are more energy efficient.
Point #5: While Builders may have less incentive to SELL small homes - there are more incentives for Owners to BUY and LIVE in small energy efficient homes (cost, savings, environment, future resale, rebates). So until builders and designers offer their versions of cutting edge, small, strong, green, energy efficient home plans, ECO will help them learn how to do just that. Introducing...
