What is the approximate cost per square foot for an ECOHOME?

We have Prefab modular kit homes for Washington state and all across the US, you can see the models and get pricing here -

You will see a tab to ‘get a quote’ on that page, if you enter your information we can get pricing for you. It is difficult to really give you even a ball bark price, but a prefab home can *and should* be a better quality home for about the same price as a site-built house that is built to meet the very low performance standards of building code, since building in a factory is more efficient in both material savings and labor. 

Our current manufacturing facilities are in Canada, so the best idea of pricing I can give you at the moment is maybe $200 to $300 per square foot CAD, but of course labor and material costs vary by region. It really depends on design, materials, performance etc. Building materials have seen a massive increase in price lately, that hasn’t helped matters either for determining cost. 

This page here about the looming real estate crisis due to mandatory energy modelling for homes before selling (which is coming in the near future) has solid arguments for building better homes now, I think that would be of significant value to that student and their thesis.
