Seed Eco-Home Documentation

• Build the 1300 SF, 3 bed/2 bath  Seed Eco-Home model for $60k in materials. You are welcome to build this, it is open source and we will file the OSHWA Certification soon. This is called the Rosebud model, which was finished  in Maysville, MO in 2025. Rosebud comes with 6kW PV and a number of energy and water saving features.  It is incremental design – meaning it has 2 pre-framed, hidden doors for an addition towards the back, and any of the window modules can be converted to another door if one is interested in expanding to the front. The flat roof and deck allow for ready expansion up, with framing that can sustain a third floor. The complete CAD model is here in FreeCAD. Various detail files which cover individual modules, assemblies,  and sub-assemblies are also found in this same folder. Even more exhaustive detail is found at Seed Eco-Home 4#CAD, including water, plumbing, outlets, electrical system, PV system, and more. The bill of materials, at $60k, is here.  You can see details of the build – a total of 22,000 pictures. During the build, we kept design notes and procedure details in 9 work docs for about 1000 pages of build details (start at Doc 1, finish at Doc 8).  Build data shows the time it took to build every single part of the house (missing detail to be read from photo time stamps). And, you can see the original engineering drawings from a structural engineer here. The overall documentation is found at  Seed Eco-Home 4, including business development and organizational insights for the same business model that we are using in the Seed Eco-Home Apprenticeship. You can also see Seed Eco-Home 2 documentation and the Seed Eco-Home 1 documentation for reference.
