SEED Homes

Service Description

The SEED Homes Story: SUSTAINABLE | ENVIRONMENTAL | ECONOMIC | DWELLING ~ The SEED Homes concept was born out of a conversation around transitional housing at a director’s meeting of a charity focused on giving a hand up to those in need. It took six months to get to the development idea of the home design. It had to be fast to install, affordable, and fill the gap between the tiny home market (under 400 square feet) and the traditional build that has pushed many people away from the dream, and some might say the right, to own a home. WHAT MAKES A SEED HOME DIFFERENT? Cost: On average, a SEED Home is significantly less than the cost of a traditionally-built home. Fast to build with contemporary materials. Average build time of 4 to 6 weeks would be maximum, and installs, depending on the model are 2 to 7 days. Light-bathed interiors, flexible layouts, large windows, full-size kitchen and bathrooms. Built using panel-formed steel walls and sloped roof. Incredibly resilient, industrial-strength, hurricane / hail /snow / resistant. Shipping: Designed to be shipped intermodally. The homes actually fold into a size that is compliant for truck and train transport. Manufactured off-site, placed on a truck or train, and installed on site.
