General Contracting Services - Residential Construction Only
Earth Bound Homes uses state of the art green building techniques and materials to create beautiful and energy-efficient homes. In addition to building custom homes, we also do green additions and remodels of existing homes. Through a complete and rigorous analysis of your project, we will offer you alternatives to the traditional or standard building materials or details as a way to increase your home’s durability, sustainability and energy efficiency, while eliminating the use of toxic and off-gassing materials in your home. Our use of advanced building principles, high quality materials and a holistic approach to home building helps us create thoroughly green homes- without you having to make any compromises or sacrifices. Our goal is not to change or modify the design of your home that you and your architect have worked so hard on, but only to improve the mechanics of the house. With Earth Bound Homes, it’s "Your home, only better".
While all of our projects come from outside architects and designers, Earth Bound Homes is often the first point of contact. After our first meeting with homeowners, we will often recommend 2 or 3 different architects that we feel will most closely fit with the project scope, budget, the size of the home and often most importantly, the personality of the homeowner(s). This collaborative group of the homeowner, the architect and Earth Bound Homes, brings together a divergent set of beliefs and experiences, thereby giving the homeowner the advantages of differing points of view througout the design and build process. By working with the architects and Earth Bound Homes, the homeowners can realize the greatest cost savings during the beginning of the project’s design phase through the final build out of the home or remodel. By thoroughly planning the project before construction begins, we can dramatically reduce budget overruns and change orders while integrating more green, durable and non-toxic building materials and design elements. The end result is a much better home.
In those unique cases where we receive plans that are not fully detailed and specified, Earth Bound Homes can assist with the many details needed in order to have a project ready to build. We’ll address everything from architectural and engineering issues, to budget estimates, permits, and material selections.
