There aren’t enough affordable homes. Anywhere.
As of late 2024, more than 1.8 billion people do not have access to adequate housing. North America is no exception.
Let’s fix this problem.
Imagine:
Purchasing a small home that you can actually afford. A home that is built to last for decades and made from environmentally sustainable materials. A home that you can order online, have it delivered and installed just about anywhere, and move in within just one day. Impossible? No, reality.
We invite you to peruse the details in this document. As always, we stand ready to help you and your project achieve success.
The SEED Homes Story
SUSTAINABLE | ENVIRONMENTAL | ECONOMIC | DWELLING
The SEED Homes concept was born out of a conversation around transitional housing at a director’s meeting of a charity focused on giving a hand up to those in need.
It took six months to get to the development idea of the home design. It had to be fast to install, affordable, and fill the gap between the tiny home market (under 400 square feet) and the traditional build that has pushed many people away from the dream, and some might say the right, to own a home.

WHAT MAKES A SEED HOME DIFFERENT
Cost:
On average, a SEED Home is significantly less than the cost of a traditionally-built home.
Fast to Build with Contemporary Materials:
Average build time of 8 to 12 weeks. Light-bathed interiors, flexible layouts, large windows, full-size kitchen and bathrooms.
Strong:
Built using panel-formed steel walls and sloped roof. Incredibly resilient, industrial-strength, hurricane / hail / snow / resistant.
Shipping:
Designed to be shipped intermodally. The homes actually fold into a size that is compliant for truck and train transport. Manufactured off-site, placed on a truck or train, and installed on site.
Industry Certifications and Warranty:
SEED Homes are CSA A660 and CSA A277 certified, with CWB compliance, and we are a recognized new home builder in Alberta with the peace of mind that comes with the Alberta New Home Buyer’s Protection Plan.
Off-Grid Options:
Solar panel roof, battery energy storage, water collection system, R 28 wall insulation, R 31 ceiling insulation, full HVAC, in-floor heating options.
Strong Materials and Low Maintenance:
Resilient materials, recyclable, and renewable. Because the home is mostly made of steel, there is very little maintenance required.
Fire:
Steel exteriors and foundations resist fire, potentially saving structures or reducing damage during wildfires.
No More Drywall:
SEED Homes uses Trusscore wall and ceiling paneling in all of our builds.

CANADA NEEDS ABOUT 3.5 MILLION ADDITIONAL HOUSING UNITS BY 2030 TO RESTOREAFFORDABILITY. -CMHC.
Every aspect of the SEED Home design is different. From materials, assembly techniques, and layout, a SEED Home is beautiful to behold. A perfect solution for Canadian communities, a SEED Home can be outfitted with full HVAC systems, in-floor heating, and high R value insulation in the walls and ceiling panels.

Impossible? No, reality.
Welcome to SEED Homes.

THE HEART OF A SEED HOME: A STEEL CENTRAL UTILITY CORRIDOR
A SEED Home is designed around a central utility corridor (see arrows below). The corridor is made of a solid steel skid; a similar structure that has been successfully used in the oil and gas industry for decades. All of the heavy appliances, utility equipment, kitchen, and bathrooms are aligned along this single corridor. This design keeps the weight of the home centralized and arranged along a length-wise configuration of the home. This allows the rest of the SEED Home structure to unfold (or attach) to the central corridor, thereby maximizing usable interior space, and minimizing physical size in order to comply with shipping constraints
WATER
A SEED Home can be equipped with an ingenious water harvesting system. By using rain and gravity, a SEED Home can capture water, store it in a tank underneath the home, and filter the water for use. In addition, in the event of a natural disaster or a water shortage, your home could become a source of potable water.
RAINWATER DRAINS DOWN OUTER WALL VIA A CAVITY.
12" DEEP SKID UNDERNEATH HOME CONTAINS A BUILT-IN WATER TANK THAT IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR DOMESTIC USE.
CHARCOAL AND UV FILTERS CLEAN THE RAINWATER THEREBY PROVIDING POTABLE WATER FOR THE HOME.
THE INSIDE STORY: INTERIOR OF A SEED HOME
A SEED Home interior is beautiful to behold.
Each design comes fully equipped with large windows that let a tremendous amount of natural light into the home. In addition, SEED Homes have sloped roofs. This is ideal for Northern climates in order to accommodate heavy snow loads. From an interior perspective, ceiling heights can be as high as nine feet.
SEED Homes do not use drywall. Instead, SEED Homes uses Trusscore wall and ceiling panels. Trusscore is made of highly resilient PVC material. This simplifies installation as there is no taping or mud required to install interior walls. Drywall is also very heavy, is bad for the environment, and is difficult to transport. Trusscore wall panels are very low maintenance, nearly impossible to dent, and can be cleaned with a simple wet cloth.
Because each SEED Home is built using panel-formed steel walls, there is little to no need for interior support structure. This opens up the floor space and gives the homeowner tremendous flexibility to place furniture and other interior items.
