$200 per square foot is ridiculous – my wife and I will be retiring in about 2 years – we have found a straw bale builder in Colorado who can do a turn key 896 sq ft or 1180 sf home for appx $115 per sf – add in solar, geothermal and a grey water system and the cost (including state rebates and federal tax credits) is WAY under $200 per sf (appx $145 per sf)

It seems to me that companies that sell homes like these ALL charge $200 or more per sf – which limits the choices to really small homes of 500 sf or so(which I do not like for 2 people) or limits the buyers to the more affulent – people who can afford houses like this

My third graders are learning about energy efficiency, and enjoyed reading about your PowerPod home. However, we discovered a grammatical error in the home’s description. The sentence that reads, “High ceiling create a sense of spaciousness” should be written over as either (a) The high ceiling creates a sense of spaciousness. or (b) High ceilings create a sense of spaciousness. Either is correct. Thanks!

I am very interested in getting more information about the PowerPod home. Does this $100,000 include anything else… delivery, septic, electric? If the price is for the house alone, it’s not a very good deal. This size modular home would only take about $15,000 to build.
