Each Eaves home comes with materials that constitute over 90% of the material costs typically accounted when building the home.  Materials that your builder will need onsite will typically constitute another 10%.  Examples of materials your builder will need include drywall, nails, adhesives, caulk and paint.  We provide each builder with a summary of typical site materials they would need to account for.  Here is a summary of the standard content that is included with the Foundation 1150:

Certainly.  It is no different than getting a new construction loan from your preferred lending institution.  Eaves homes can also recommend lenders that are familiar with our homes and provide simple pre-approvals.  Simply note that you are interested in a recommended lending partner when submitting a request for an Eaves home.

For example, if you were to finance a $149,000 Eaves home package with a 30 year mortgage, principle and interest would amount to around $650 per month.

Upon confirming your model and options and moving forward with an Eaves agreement, we prepare a commercial invoice.  Your materials are purchased with 50% down payment based on the total Eaves home cost.  The remaining 50% is due when the materials have finished production.  We notify our customers 2 weeks in advance of the anticipated construction completion date.  The remaining payment is owed in full for the goods to ship to your job site.

Any charges from your contractor(s) handling the site build are not contracted through Eaves.  It is at your discretion as to how those payments are handled.

That will depend on your lot, the cost of labor in your market, and the foundation method you are utilizing – slab or basement.  We have engineered Eaves homes from the ground up to be incredibly efficient to build to save costs.  We outline ways in our customer binder to save costs on the project as a whole.

Depending on the time of year, backlog, and supply chain material availability, it typically takes 45-120 days to complete production of all components.  This typically works perfectly with a production timeline that starts with print submittals.

Our designs are wind rated up to 100 miles per hour.  If utilizing our optional Simpson tie downs, they can be increased to a wind rating of 150 miles per hour.  They can handle any wind condition in North America.

We partner with iconic furniture and interior design companies.  Custom design services are also available through CB2, Rove Concepts, Crate & Barrel, and others within our preferred network of interior design firms.

Shipping costs are borne by the buyer of the Eaves home kits.  In most circumstances, the windows, doors, soffits, glass systems, stairs and cabinetry are shipped in a container from a North American distribution center, where the lumber systems and building materials are provided to spec and delivered for a cost on a trailer by national building supply chains.  Typically, shipping costs might range from $1,500 to $7,500 depending on your location in the United States.  International shipping costs more than this range.

Our homes are designed and engineered with panelized stick frame assemblies using timber framing, which is the prevailing method of construction in North America.  We feel that this has an advantage to full pre-fab construction, in that it provides builders with a process that is better suited to their existing business and construction methodologies.  It also allows us to manufacture all around North America with preferred building supply stores and truss factories so that shipping costs are saved.

Eaves homes are provided with all primary materials for a builder to build an Eaves home, with the exception of drywall, fasteners, adhesives, typical construction consumables and plumbing, HVAC and electrical supplies.  Eaves component kits include doors, windows, lumber systems, roofing, siding, cabinetry, and lighting.

Eaves homes are extremely energy efficient, using low-e glass windows and doors with thermal breaks, and an R-20 insulation package.

Our designs are wind rated up to 100 miles per hour.  If utilizing our optional Simpson tie downs, they can be increased to a wind rating of 150 miles per hour.  They can handle any wind condition in North America.  Eaves roofs are also rated for a 40 pound live load, and 2o pound dead load, so they can handle snow coverage up to 3 feet with ease.

Currently, we have 4 bespoke siding materials, with trim that can be specified in 10 different colors.

Eaves only sells the designed and engineered home package with materials to complete the build.  A state licensed contractor is needed to complete the build, which we can try to connect you with in your area.
