My girlfriend and I had some ideas for a home worked out after we found a plot of land. We then went to see an engineer to, as you put it 'refine it and put it to code'. We then took the plans and went to several prefab builders and window making companies and got quotes for the wooden frame and the windows. In 12 weeks, the wooden frame will be delivered. My father and I are going to help the prefab guys putting it together. The prefab builder said it should take only three days. For budget-reasons we unfortunately had to let the passive house idea go, but the house is still insulated very well (±Rc 8) and triple glazed all around.

I'm not that old to plan for my own house yet, but I think this article is a great starting point when I start preparing. It was informative and detailed, but without getting bogged down with unnecessary details. Thanks a lot! Juan Miguel Ruiz http://www.GreenJoyment.com That was a GREAT article.
