Building Green Homes at Scale: Steve Glenn’s vision for sustainable prefab architecture
Menu
Menu
We design and develop modern, prefabricated homes that combine world-class architecture with an unparalleled commitment to healthy and sustainable construction. Working with Plant Prefab, we offer a process that makes building efficient, predictable, and reliable. Choose from one of our Standard LivingHomes, or we'll work with you to create a custom design.
All LivingHomes are built by Plant Prefab, which uses off-site production and a patented building system to construct custom homes faster and typically with less cost and construction waste. And we use non-toxic and sustainable building materials, so your home is as healthy as possible - for you and the environment.

The materials we use, the production processes we employ at our specially designed factory, and most importantly, our staff. Everything we do is designed to deliver durable, high quality homes.
We use paints, stains, and other materials that have minimal off-gassing, ensuring the air you breath in your home is as safe as possible.
Our first project, above, was the first home in the nation to be certified LEED Platinum, the highest level of certification from the USGBC's LEED Program. Since then, we've designed more LEED Platinum homes than almost any design firm. We are very careful about how we design and build LivingHomes - making sure we minimize energy, water and resource use. And we are very careful to avoid materials that could cause indoor air pollution.
Because we build off-site in a lower cost region, our rates are often lower than higher priced metro areas. Our bids are fixed price. There are no Change Orders.
Off-site construction happens concurrently with site work, reducing building timelines by 50–70%. Your home arrives at the site 90% complete, and installation is typically completed in one day.
Our facility was purpose-built to construct custom homes efficiently, so we are able to better control the cost, timeline, and quality than on-site construction. And that’s how we offer fixed priced contracts.
We aspire to provide the highest quality of customer service, so we assign you a Project Coordinator when you begin, give you an online resource you can access for schedules and project documentation, and we provide Weekly Updates.
In addition to standard warranty required by code, we give you a ten year Structural Warranty, which is something very few vendors provide, and we offer Double Warranty protection from 2-10 that ensures your Warranty will always be covered.

We develop high end spec homes in the LA area and so we’re very concerned about the quality and efficiency of our construction. We were very impressed with the quality of Plant’s work and their speed of production, particularly since we were able to complete our site work in parallel to the factory work.
Steve, I have to tell you that last night the outside temp dropped to 41 degrees and my house stayed at 70 degrees all night and through the morning without any help from my HVAC. Very happy with the insulation quality of this home. Very happy.
