Unity Homes

Unity Homes designs and builds ultra high-performance residential homes built for life. Founded in 2012 as a brand of Bensonwood, which has been reviving the art of timber framing in America since the 1970’s. Unity mission is to provide durable, energy-efficient, and healthy homes to more people at affordable price points.

Similar to Bensonwood, Unity Homes utilizes state-of-the-art off-site construction methods and rapid on-site assembly techniques. The offer pre-engineered “Express” home plans to choose from for the most cost savings, or you can tailor the plans to your needs through the “Streamlined” design system. Homes are designed using 3D computer-aided designs with real-time estimates and renderings so you know what your home will look like before ever breaking ground. Home components are constructed using precision factory-built panelized construction techniques and then assembled in a matter of days at the building site, minimizing disruption to neighbors and exposure to the elements. Once assembled, home finishes are completed on-site by the homeowner’s general contractor and are typically ready for move-in 4 to 6 months after site work begins.

Unity Homes focuses on comfort and efficiency. Homes feature a highly insulated air-tight envelope, triple-pane European tilt-turn windows, an all-electric design ideal for solar PV systems, and an efficient ventilation system that continuously supplies filtered fresh air to the home through clean, sealed ducts. Unity’s materials minimize VOCs, indoor air pollutants, and meet the requirements of the EPA’s Indoor airPlus program.

Home packages are offered at two levels: Shell or Tempo. 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. The Tempo package includes everything the Shell package does, in addition to a selection of many finish materials and fixtures specifically curated to complement the design of your home. Unity guides you in choosing interior and exterior finish components installed by your local builder and delivered right to your site once you are ready to install them.
