EkoBuilt’s selection of super energy efficient house plans have been designed and engineered with comfort, performance and cost effectiveness in mind. We offer the most affordable passive house option in North America. Our material kits are passivehouse and engineer approved.
Build to Passive House standard by simply buying the plan and accompanying weathertight material kit (which any experienced carpenter can put together). You can also work with us to have full access to our Eko Solar Engine, going Net Zero if you want.
We include a complete design service with all packages, whether it be revising one of our models or refining a design you bring to us.

Passive House Plan Pricing
Passive House is the world’s most energy efficient standard and it’s the one we promote — it really doesn’t cost much more at all to build to this standard and reap the benefits, including much lower running costs.
We do, however, also offer a Code Plus version of our house plans. Slightly less efficient than Passive, Code Plus is perfect for a small urban lot where every square inch matters and the thickness of the wall assembly needs to be downsized a bit.
Please note that all pricing is in Canadian dollars, although we work and ship our material kits across North America.
Pricing: Material costs have experienced incredible volatility in recent years. In late 2022 we updated the majority of cost analysis documents shared on this page. If a plan has a cost analysis that doesn’t say “NEW” next to it, it’s likely off by about 5%. Please reach out if you need a cost analysis for any of our house plans.
