      What makes a piece of property suitable for a LivingHome?

      You may already own the land, or you're eyeing a pretty parcel. Either way, so many personal factors affect your choice of a location to live. When considering a LivingHome for your site, we need you to think about a few additional characteristics of your land before you engage us.

      We want to make sure that we can transport and install your modules without bulldozing a new road or having to haul your home by helicopter (doable, but REALLY expensive). Topographically-speaking, we can install your LivingHome any place you would situate a regular house: a flat lot, hillside, or on a raised foundation-provided our crane can access the site and our trucks can navigate all of the turns. To ensure that we can reach the property, the roads should be wider than twenty-five feet, with no severe curves or slopes. And since the crane's long boom needs room to move, we also need to know about any low-hanging tree limbs and pesky power lines that could get in the way of installing your LivingHome.

      Beyond transport and installation concerns, the site you choose is important because of its LEED impact. As you may be aware, we are committed to building homes that achieve at least a Silver Level of LEED Certification; and since almost one third of the LEED points relate to the site, you'll want to check with us on how your potential site rates before buying.
