Build Once. Build Forward.

100+ Year Homes

A fully aligned system for delivering homes that perform—not available in traditional residential construction.

For the first time, homeowners can access the level of coordination, expertise, and performance typically reserved for advanced commercial projects.

FOR HOMEOWNERS

This is your opportunity to get it right

 

Rebuilding after wildfire is not about replacing what was lost.

It's about ensuring it never happens the same way again.

 

Earth'smart delivers a home that is:

Resilient
Durable
Safe
Healthy
Built to perform for generations

 

Not a replacement.
A permanent upgrade.

Where most rebuilds go wrong

 

Even well-funded projects struggle with:

Late decisions
Disconnected teams
Limited product insight
Minimum-code thinking

 

🚫 Homes that look complete—but underperform where it matters most. 

This is exactly what Earth’smart is designed to prevent.

 

 The earth'smart approach

A better way to build

Most homes are delivered through a fragmented process.

 

Earth'smart aligns everything from the start:

✔️ One coordinated team
✔️ Early system decisions
✔️ Direct input from the companies behind your home's materials and systems
✔️ Clear execution

 

Better decisions early. Better outcomes.

 

Two paths. One standard.

Every project is guided by the same level of expertise and performance.

How that is delivered depends on your starting point.

 

Path A

 

TURNKEY DELIVERY

A fully aligned team from concept through construction.

Architecture
Engineering
Construction
Integrated input from the manufacturers behind your home's materials and systems
Permit strategy and coordination

 

The most complete and reliable path forward. Everything is aligned from the start—so critical decisions are made early, correctly, and without friction.

 

Path B

 

ADVISORY

We work alongside your existing team to improve outcomes.

Early system guidance
Design and construction integrity
Critical decision support
Coordination with the manufacturers behind your home's materials and systems
Permit support

 

A meaningful improvement—but still dependent on your existing team structure. Alignment is strengthened, but not fully controlled.

Access to expertise most projects never see

In traditional projects, product decisions happen too late—with limited input.

 

Earth’smart leverages the TectApp community of building product manufacturers to ensure the right experts are involved early—when decisions matter most.

 

Systems are not guessed.
They are understood. Integrated. Delivered correctly.

Rebuilding Forward

 

This is not a typical rebuild.

It's what becomes possible when every major decision is made early—and made correctly.

 

A home designed to:

Stand up to wildfire risk
End the cycle of repair and replacement
Deliver lasting comfort, safety and peace of mind

 

Not a replacement.
A permanent upgrade.

 

Start Your Project

Key Strategies:

Fire-resistive exterior wall systems (pre-insulated concrete masonry)

Non-combustible materials and assemblies throughout

Long-life roofing and structural systems

Early coordination across all disciplines

Integrated energy, mechanical and resilience strategies

Dedicated on-site water supply for fire events, integrated with site-scale fire-suppression (vapor dome system)

Fresh, filtered air and environmental control systems

 

The RESULT:

A home that:

✔️ Is engineered to withstand fire, flood and earthquake exposure

✔️ Minimizes ongoing maintenance and lifecycle costs

✔️ Performs reliably across structure, systems and envelope

✔️ Delivers measurable improvements in safety, durability and comfort

✔️ Establishes a new standard for rebuilding in high-risk environments

This is what becomes possible when the entire process is aligned from the start.

Why this matters

 

Rebuilding in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) requires a different standard.

 

Most homeowners have never had access to this level of coordination and expertise.

Now they do.

A new insurance reality

In high-risk areas, the rules are changing.

 

Coverage is harder to obtain.
Premiums are rising.
In some cases, insurance is no longer available at all.

 

Most homes are not designed for this new reality.

Most homes are still built to minimum code.

That’s not enough to satisfy today’s risk environment.

 

Earth’smart projects are designed to materially reduce risk.

This includes:
Fire-resistive assemblies
Non-combustible materials
Integrated suppression strategies
On-site water supply designed for fire-event response
Coordinated system performance

 

By addressing risk at the system level—not just code compliance—
these homes are better positioned for today’s insurance landscape.

 

Build for the risks insurers are reacting to.
