Hello,

Thank you for your interest and for visiting us on the web (tell your friends!) Please order the Full Package today to start planning your earth sheltered home. I look forward to helping you refine your plans and bringing your vision to reality.

It's good to start planning your project far in advance. Ideally, engineered plans should be done in the fall prior to the year you will begin construction. With financing secured in the winter, the kit can be ordered and delivered to the home site in the spring. This allows for the best construction window and avoids the stress that comes with trying to do everything from plans to kit delivery in 6 weeks.

Please feel free to mail/fax/email your rough sketches/descriptions of your home plan to us. For most, the best option is
Google SketchUp, an easy to use, free program that we highly recommend - no prior CAD experience needed!

Gene Pearcey and I are happy to take a look at your ideas and discuss our recommendations with you based on our 30+ years of experience, for free. Please check the 'Floor Plans' section of the web site for information on interactively refining your custom home plans from your ideas to a 3D model to a professionally drafted, engineer stamped plan set.

So enjoy unrivaled energy efficiency, unequaled safety, unmatched durability, and unparalleled comfort in an earth sheltered home! And please feel free to contact me with any questions as you have them.

Best regards,

Luke Ragle
Vice President
Performance Building Systems, Inc.
