- Your city and state
- Whether you already own land
- Your target timeline
- Your home size or room needs
- Any goals such as lower energy use, better comfort, all-electric design, or net-zero readiness

Important to know before you hire
EverGrain Built is not a builder, architect, or contractor. We are a free service that helps you learn and get matched with experienced green custom-home builders.
You compare your options and choose who to hire. Always confirm scope, pricing, timeline, materials, and performance goals in writing with a licensed builder or design professional.
Results vary by climate, site, design, and builder. No one should promise exact energy savings, comfort, or certification outcomes before the project is fully designed and priced.
Ask us your questions anytime. We help you learn the basics and compare builders, but you choose who to hire and confirm everything in writing.
Common questions
Do you build homes or give construction bids?
No. EverGrain Built does not build homes and does not give construction bids. We are a free matching service that helps you connect with builders and learn what to ask before you sign a contract.
Is your service really free for homeowners?
Yes. Our matching and guidance service is free for homeowners. You are still responsible for reviewing proposals and confirming final scope, price, and terms directly with the licensed builder you choose.
Can you help if I am new to green or passive homes?
Yes. Many homeowners start with basic questions. We can help explain common ideas like insulation R-value, airtightness, blower-door testing, window U-factor and SHGC, HRV or ERV ventilation, and heat pumps in plain language.
Can I contact you if I am not ready to get matched yet?
