Building
your dream house? Don't let it turn into a nightmare.
The Southface Homebuilding School teaches the essentials that
will give you the knowledge to make competent building decisions
with confidence.
For over a decade this unique Homebuilding School has attracted
men and women from across the country interested in contracting
or building their own energy efficient house. People who have
never picked up a hammer as well as seasoned builders, young
people anticipating their first home and senior citizens considering
their retirement home all arrive at Southface to share in
an incredible learning experience.
The strength of the Homebuilding School is our instructors:
architects, engineers, builders, carpenters, plumbers and
electricians. These professional men and women are knowledgeable
in their fields and are skilled at working with owner-builders.
The Southface Weekend Homebuilding
School is a condensed format that offers information
on construction financing, scheduling, managing subs, and
building material performance and durability, as well as guidelines
to achieve energy savings through special construction and
design techniques. And, it includes a site visit to help you
observe first-hand the building principles taught in the classroom.
