SolarTerra LLC's services include sustainable architectural design, systems design and installation and sustainable consulting for custom homes. Every wall, roof, mechanical, water and electrical system/component is inter-dependent on other home systems and their components. SolarTerra LLC understands these various systems and component inter-relationships and incorporates this expertise in the services we provide.

SolarTerra LLC can recommend and partner with quality local builders to provide a complete Design/Build Solution. By doing so, the builder is involved early and can collaborate on design ideas and construction details so eveyone is in sync during the construction phase of the project.

SolarTerra LLC has an extensive network of builders, suppliers and local contractors knowledgeable in energy-efficient and alternative materials and systems. We can also tap into additional experts or resources as required to ensure your project achieves your and/or your client's objectives.

SolarTerra LLC can also provide training on the importance and benefits of incorporating "green" design, systems, building materials and certification in into your project.
