Package Types

SHELL PACKAGE

The shell package includes the insulated high-performance exterior envelope with insulated wall and roof panels, installed windows and doors, interior partition walls, interior service layer, floor systems, and any timber frame that may be part of the design. We prefabricate and assemble the panelized, high-performance building shell on the locally installed foundation. Once the fully insulated is installed, the local general contractor completes the exterior and interior of the house with finishes.

TEMPO PACKAGE

We supply the shell of your house plus a selection of many finish materials and fixtures specifically curated to complement the design of your Unity home. We guide you in choosing interior and exterior finish components that are installed by your local builder.

LOCAL BUILDER

Unity’s Shell Package typically comprises 40-45% of the home’s construction scope, while a Tempo Package could be more like 60%. Most of the rest of the work required to build the home is done by a local builder, although some scopes may fall to the owner. The chart on the next page shows how the scopes of work are typically allocated on Unity projects.
