The Grow Home

The “Grow Home” is an answer to the high cost of housing in many countries. It is a project that will fit into any community. The exterior facades can be vinyl siding, wood, brick, stucco, stone etc.

The home is made to be built in groups of 4, 6, 8 and larger blocks. The economy of construction exists because of the common walls separating each unit and the efficient use of the land.

The houses are 14 feet wide and 36 feet deep on two stories for a total of 1008 square feet.

Full basements are available or they can be built on a slab. Garages underneath the first floor can accommodate cars as well as workshops.

The homes are pre-manufactured in wall sections of 8 feet lengths (or of pre-cut materials). Interior walls are also panelized. Roof rafters are manufactured as well and engineered to local building codes. The walls have R-20 insulation and can be made more energy efficient by using 1.5 inch foam sheathing for R-28 insulation factor on exterior walls. The roof system is made for R-40 insulation batts.

Windows can be either triple pane or Low-E double pane glass with argon gas.

The exteriors can be designed to fit into any setting. They can be built to look outstanding on their own or to fit into any 100 year old community.

The pre-manufactured concept allows almost anyone with a little construction knowledge to build the homes. All windows and door openings are in place, and all the panels are pre-numbered for ease of installation. Construction instructions come with each kit and a 3 man crew can do a shell framing in a couple of days. With good planning skills a completed home will take less than one month to completion.
