Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS): Foam cores sandwiched by plywood on both sides create walls that have a higher insulating quality than traditional house framing.

Oriented Strand Board (OSB): House frames built from mulched wood created from fast-growing sustainable trees rather than traditional fir or other non-sustainable or endangered species.

Straw bale homes: An alternative method for building homes based on actual straw bales, a sustainable product that has a very high insulating quality.

Evacuated tube solar systems: Uses the natural heating quality of the sun to heat both your home’s water and water-based floor heating.

Recycled Materials: Reclaimed materials from old homes, barns, and railroad box cars can be used to create beautiful wood trims within your home.

Environmental Design: Passive solar design allows the sun to heat your home during the day. A free flowing design with minimum internal walls in the main living areas maximizes the feel of the home size, allowing you to create a home that is of moderate size but big enough for your needs.

Larch (Tamarack) Flooring: Wood sustainably harvested from forest restoration projects throughout the northern Rockies.

Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) window frames: Frames that come from forests independently audited to meet SFI requirements.
