Prefab life off the Grid
So, you’re thinking about grabbing a few acres of dirt, and building a simple cabin. Well take a look at this article about mail order green homes I came across: http://fabprefab.com/fabfiles/home.htm
How Can I Get A Prefab Home?
The easiest way to get a prefab home is to call a design firm that specializes in prefab such as one of the ones mentioned above. Here are some of the other options in green prefab design:
- pieceHomes (Los Angeles, CA)
- Blu Homes (Boston, MA)
- Eco-Infill (Denver, CO)
- kitHAUS (CA)
- Hive Modular (Minneapolis, MN)
- h-haus (Santa Fe, NM)
Many people I talk to in Boone are interested in Off-the-Grid life. Many homes in the area are already basically free because they use a well or spring for water and a septic tank for waste. However, they are all powered by Blue Ridge Electric or New River Electric. I came across a pretty great site for purchasing Solar/Wind/Generator kits, take a look: http://firemountainsolar.com

Beware. Eco-Infill in Denver is not licensed as a construction, architectural, or engineering business in Colorado. The owner, John Cianci, states he is an engineer, he fails to mention that he is neither a residential or commercial building engineer. Time and money to throw away?
Hi Gaylene,
I would love to talk to you further about your experience with eco-infill and John Cianci. We are having a struggle right now. Please let me know if we can email.
