Window options offer high efficiency & low U value. Because we focus on energy efficiency, your home will require less energy and natural resources to maintain and enjoy.
That depends on the home but can be anywhere from $2,000 – $6,000 per module. Please select a specific home design that you are interested and then we can provide an estimate for shipping costs.

We can introduce you to partner lenders. You will need to secure a construction loan. Unlike home mortgages, construction loans are interest only and short-term. You can obtain a construction-to-permanent loan (also known as a “rollover”) that starts as a construction loan and then converts to a mortgage after the home is built. Or, you can secure a construction-only loan that a lender would replace with a mortgage after the Certificate of Occupancy is issued.
SmartPads homes are built efficiently and in a timely manner once you’ve entered into a contract. SmartPads are built in 2-3 months, however the timeline can be affected by the type of house you are buying as larger homes will take longer to build than smaller homes, the volume of home orders the building facility has received, home inspections, land preparation, and more. Paying your procurement payment will determine the build date.
