Ecoliv Buildings has no published price.

Ecoliv Buildings does not publish a wind rating, a snow load, anything about fire or a price for this model, so 75 percent of the fields we score are blank.

None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.

Completeness

25%

25 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Ecoliv Buildings published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.

The thing nobody else will tell you

This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.

Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

The Kit Home Finder Grade

Not ratedNot rated, which is the absence of a score rather than a bad one. We could not rate cost honesty or materials and carbon tier, and a grade needs two of the three, so the buyability score we do have stands on its own below. This says nothing about how the kit performs. A maker can publish an excellent wind and snow rating and still be unrateable here, because this grade measures whether you can buy it, whether the price is honest, and what it is made of.

Rubric v1.0, August 2026. Site fit is not in this grade, because it depends on your land rather than on the kit. Every weight, and what we refuse to grade.

What the maker publishes

Everything here came off Ecoliv Buildings's own pages, cited at the bottom. A blank is a blank: we never fill one in.

Price

Not published

This maker publishes no price. That is the single most common gap in the Index, and it is the first thing to ask them.

What that number coversNot published

What else we found

Lead time published as 'an average timeline of just 20 weeks' for the build, against a claimed 16 months for traditional construction. They publish a '7-star energy efficiency rating' claim for their passive solar designs - that is the Australian NatHERS star rating, not an R-value, and no wall or roof R-value is published. This is a completed volumetric modular home, not a kit or shell package, so include it in the index only if you are covering delivered modular. ships_to_us set to 'no' - volumetric modules from a Victorian factory, and nothing on the site suggests export.

Questions to send this maker

Generated from what they left blank. Every one of these is a thing they could answer today and have chosen not to publish. Copy them into an email. If they answer, tell us and we will update this page with the citation.

  • What does this cost, in dollars, and exactly which build stages does that number cover?
  • What design wind speed is this model engineered to, in miles per hour, and at what Risk Category and Exposure Category?
  • What ground snow load can the roof carry, in pounds per square foot, and is that the ground load or the roof load?
  • What is the roof assembly's fire classification, and are the vents ember resistant?
  • What Seismic Design Category will you engineer this model to, and is that included or a paid upgrade?
  • Which foundation types does this kit support, and can it sit on piers above a base flood elevation?
  • What is the wall R value, and is that nominal insulation or a tested whole assembly value including thermal bridging?
  • What is the roof R value, and is it nominal or whole assembly?
  • What is the finished square footage of this model?

Across the whole Index, the average kit publishes about a quarter of what a buyer needs. This maker is at 25 percent.

Questions people ask about the Ecoliv Buildings

Answered from what Ecoliv Buildings publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".

How much does the Ecoliv Buildings cost?

Ecoliv Buildings publishes no price for this model. Across the whole Index only about a third of makers publish a price in dollars at all.

What wind speed is the Ecoliv Buildings engineered to?

Ecoliv Buildings does not publish a design wind speed for this model. Only about one kit maker in ten publishes one. Note that "hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, so a page using that phrase without a number has told you nothing.

What snow load can the Ecoliv Buildings roof take?

Ecoliv Buildings does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.

Can you actually buy the Ecoliv Buildings?

Yes. Ecoliv Buildings takes orders for this model today.

What foundation does the Ecoliv Buildings need?

Ecoliv Buildings does not publish foundation options for this model. That matters more than it sounds: in a FEMA A or V flood zone the finished floor has to sit above the base flood elevation, and a kit offered on a slab only cannot get there.

How well does the Ecoliv Buildings stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?

The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, they publish nothing at all.

Will the Ecoliv Buildings work on my land?

Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.

How it compares

It documents less than the average modular kit, 25 percent against 26. Makers in Australia publish something about fire far more often than the Index as a whole, 24 percent of the 17 we hold there, usually because their building rules ask for it.

Computed across all 514 kit homes in the Index, 27 of them modular. Recomputed on every build.
