Everything I've Learned about Building Resilient Homes
Advocating for the diversification of buildings, biomes, and businesses to establish sustainable legacies.
You're ready to build your own natural, sustainable home… or think you are.
You've done your research and feel like you're in a good place.
So you sit down and start planning the design—how many rooms, stories, what kind of heating and cooling you'll use, the most efficient wall systems . . . all the good stuff!
You start looking for land, too.
You're not totally sure what constitutes the right piece of land to build on . . .
But how much does it really matter?
You can build on pretty much any piece of land . . . right?
The more you plan, the more confused you feel...
What type of foundation suits the soil on your land?
Where will your water come from (and how does the land affect that)?
Do wind patterns make a difference?
Did you pick the right wall system for your climate?
How do you make sure everything stays on budget?
Does it matter which direction your house faces?
Are you allowed to have animals (like chickens) on the land?
Should you hire people to help you?
What are you even legally allowed to build?
It's a LOT to consider!
It seems like every time you take a step forward, you have to take two steps back to make sure your bases are all covered.
And you're still not sure you're making the best choices.
After all, you don't want a house that's going to lose efficiency after a few years (or have to be redone)!
Wouldn't it be great if you had a step-by-step guide to walk you through the whole process—from deciding where to live, to finding the perfect land, to creating a sustainable home that will last for generations?
To help you understand what to do next—as clearly as following a manual.
I designed this all-inclusive 90-page workbook to take you from dreaming about your resilient property to actually developing it—without the confusion or overwhelming stress.
It's the ultimate DIY manual for building your own resilient, self-sufficient property.
With the workbook, you'll learn how to:
Find the perfect land: Learn exactly what to look for in terms of soil quality, topography, water sources, community, and neighbors—so you'll feel confident you've chosen a place where you—and your dream home—will thrive.
Create a solid budget: Avoid hidden costs and get creative with fundraising so you don't end up with a half-finished project.
Work with the climate, not against it: Choose the right natural materials and efficient designs that are perfect for your climate and microclimate. (Not every building material is right for every region.)
Design passive heating & cooling into your property: There's a lot more to it than throwing some solar panels on the roof and opening windows for ventilation!
Build a reliable team: Know who to hire, when to consult the pros, and how to avoid costly delays or miscommunications.
Navigate regulations and permitting: Make sure your home is 100% legal and doesn't hit roadblocks along the way. (I've seen regulations derail so many dreams because people didn't do their due diligence!)
