We Build Earthships
We build Earthships for people.
We have several designs that you can choose from, according to your budget and your location.
You can purchase construction plans from our online store and build your own home or hire Earthship Biotecture to construct it for you.
Earthships cost very much the same as conventional housing. The difference being that you will have no operating costs when living in an Earthship.
