Consultation Services

Initial Assessment

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your goals, requirements, and constraints. During this initial consultation, we discuss your vision, budget parameters, timeline expectations, and location specifics. This foundational step ensures all subsequent planning aligns with your objectives.

Site Evaluation

We conduct comprehensive site assessments to determine the optimal placement and design for your off-grid shelter. Our evaluation includes analysis of solar exposure, water availability, soil composition, topography, microclimate conditions, and accessibility. This assessment identifies both opportunities and challenges presented by your location.

Regulatory Guidance

Navigating the complex landscape of building codes, zoning regulations, and permitting requirements can be challenging. Our regulatory specialists provide clear guidance on compliance requirements specific to your jurisdiction, helping you avoid costly delays and ensure legal conformity.

Design and Planning

Custom Shelter Design

Our architectural team creates bespoke shelter designs that balance aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
