What are Eco Modern Homes?
Eco Modern builds elevated coastal homes fast using our dual-site construction process. Your foundation is built on site while living sections are built off-site, allowing work to happen in two places at the same time. That is how we can build homes in 6 months, saving 12 months of time compared to the traditional coastal building process that commonly takes 18-24 months.
Homes have elevated ground floors for flood zone compliance and safety. The foundation and ground floor structures are made of concrete, steel, and wood. Designs are engineered up for Wind Zone 2 which applies to parts of the eastern and southeastern coastline, covering counties like Craven, Pender, Brunswick, Beaufort, Washington, Onslow, Columbus, Pamlico, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Jones, Tyrrell, Currituck, Camden, New Hanover, and Chowan. These communities face a moderate risk from tropical systems, so homes here must follow stronger construction standards than inland areas. Also, Wind Zone 3 counties: pertains to the state’s highest-risk coastal zone, particularly the Outer Banks counties like Hyde, Carteret, and Dare. Because these locations endure the most severe hurricane exposure, they’re required to meet the strictest building codes for wind safety and can require up to a 150 MPH wind rating and storm surges of 10+ feet, that all meet or exceed local codes and FEMA requirements.
Most projects finish about 22 to 24 weeks after permits are issued. Using a pre-approved Eco Modern Homes plan can really speed up the entire process. From the first meeting to move-in in six to eight months.
Eco Modern Homes' clients mostly select high-end home finishes like quartz countertops, solid panel doors, coastal crown molding, and floor to ceiling tiled showers. We do not compromise on strength. The homes are engineered to withstand all required wind speeds. These two intentionally engineered ratings commonly exceed the local city codes. The combination of wind rating and 10+ feet of ground floor elevation to satisfy local and FEMA standards is what gives our homeowners peace of mind during harsh weather conditions such as flooding and hurricanes.
You choose a plan then pick finishes through a streamlined process with our professional interior design team. We cut hundreds of tiny choices down to a clear set of choices that really matter when making a home feel like yours. You still get a custom look without the fatigue that comes with making hundreds of choices.
