Sebastian Little

“I am so glad I found and contracted B.Public Prefab to build our house. This is a great group of people that are passionate about their mission. The B.Public design team took our initial ideas and made a custom house plan to meet our needs. The fee was reasonable and the architects were efficient and always responsive to our concerns. The result was a beautiful design that is tailored to our family. The B.Public team worked with my local contractor so that our site was ready for the panels to be installed when they were delivered. It was exciting and surreal to see the structure emerge over the span of a week. The structure was an insulated shell with openings for doors and windows. Our contractor took over the project to complete all rough and finish electrical & plumbing as well as all interior and exterior finishes. This approach allowed us to personalize and budget our project accordingly. The B.Public team was excellent to work with at every stage of the build. They supported our contractor on some of the aspects of panelized construction that he was unfamiliar with. The panelized construction added value to our home by providing ‘passive house’ energy efficiency and fixed costs on the panels and the rapid installation of the shell structure saved time overall. I know that they have several stock designs that people can choose from which would probably save some money on architects fees. We have now moved in to our lovely home and it truly exceeds our expectations.”
