Earth'smart™ Turnkey
A complete delivery path aligning architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturer input, and permitting strategy from the start to create resilient homes built for generations.
Earth'smart powered by tect brings architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturer insight into one aligned delivery path for resilient homes. Designed for rebuilding in Northern and Southern California and other high-risk fire environments, our Architectural Design Build Services help homeowners make critical system decisions early, reduce long-term risk, and create durable, healthy, 100+ year homes built to perform across structure, envelope, and systems.
Integrated design-build solutions for resilient homes, from early planning through construction and long-term performance.
A complete delivery path aligning architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturer input, and permitting strategy from the start to create resilient homes built for generations.
Design integration for non-combustible assemblies, long-life roofing, fire-resistive exterior walls, environmental controls, and coordinated envelope systems for high-risk wildfire areas.
Risk-focused planning that supports safer rebuilding through fire-resistive materials, integrated suppression concepts, on-site water coordination, and measurable performance improvements.
We begin by understanding the homeowner’s rebuild goals, site conditions, budget range, and exposure to fire, flood, or earthquake risk, especially for properties in Northern and Southern California and Wildland-Urban Interface areas.
Earth'smart powered by tect gives homeowners access to a fully aligned system for high-performance residential rebuilding.
Architecture, engineering, construction, and permit strategy are aligned from concept through delivery.
The TectApp network brings 70+ product manufacturers into decisions before systems are finalized.
Homes are planned for wildfire, seismic, flood, and insurance realities facing high-risk communities.

Experienced leadership for resilient home delivery.
AIA — Founder, Architect and Manufacturer Advisor
Bob Habian, AIA, brings a rare cross-sided perspective to the building industry: he has been a licensed architect specifying products, a building product manufacturer owner selling them, and an advisor to more than 300 manufacturers working to reach architects and project teams more effectively. That combination sits behind everything tect does. On the owner side, Bob leads Tect's Earth'smart™ practice delivering 100+ year homes engineered to perform across structure, systems and envelope for homeowners across Northern, Central and Southern California — homes built to withstand fire, flood and earthquake exposure while minimizing long-term maintenance cost. On the manufacturer side, Bob leads the tect network of nearly 70 participating building product manufacturers and the Manufacturer Resource Hub, helping manufacturer CEOs, sales and marketing leaders, technical leadership and product representatives understand how architects actually choose products, contribute earlier in design, build genuine product-category expertise, form complementary alliances, and make credible human expertise discoverable in search and AI. His consistent argument to manufacturers is that project teams do not need another channel that exposes products — they need trustworthy expertise available at the moment a decision is forming. Bob draws on AIA specification research, anonymized patterns from work across hundreds of manufacturers, and direct experience on both sides of the specification conversation.
A design-build architecture firm brings design and construction planning into one coordinated delivery model instead of separating the architect, engineer, builder, and product decisions. For homeowners, this reduces friction, improves accountability, and helps key system choices happen earlier. Earth'smart powered by tect's model also adds manufacturer input, permit strategy, and resilience planning so the home performs across structure, envelope, and systems.
