We are builders!

Further considerations
Who Designs it?
The client will find someone they feel comfortable with. Terra Firma has plenty of experience designing smaller homes and collaborating with architects on larger homes.
What factors decide the cost?
Our primary aim has been to shift the emphasis on our buildings away from maximizing square footage, moving the discussion towards other benefits of a beautiful, sustainable, healthy home. We believe that cost and values are intertwined; the reality is that you can’t build green for cheaper as the current building system is not set up for it.
The cost of building with SIREWALL is typically 15% more than a conventional building, and you get so much more:
- health benefits
- stellar energy efficiency
- durability
- improved acoustics
- non-toxic materials
- non-disposable products
- the legacy of a long-lasting and beautiful home.
