Setting the standard for Green Roof
& Earth Sheltered technology
Formworks Building, Inc. specializes in the design and construction of energy efficient and off grid structures. We have developed a one of a kind, versatile building system that enables DIY homeowners and/or contractors to build with confidence.
Formworks structures are built from our patented building system components and have been erected throughout the U.S. and Canada. The structural forming system does not require any previous expertise to erect. This system was designed to be built by anyone, anywhere in the world.
Concerned about Rising Energy Costs? Global Warming? Forest Conservation? Air Pollutants and Allergens? Green space? The overuse of Fossil Fuels? Safety from natural disasters such as Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Earthquakes or Power Outages? Formworks' beautiful custom homes address all of these issues. An immense amount of research and construction has already been conducted in order to create this modern green roof architecture that is popping up all over the northern hemisphere. Formworks' designs are the most tested, tried and successfully proven system for earth sheltered, green roof technology. A Formworks home is unmatched in energy efficiency, comfort and security. As traditional homeowners are facing escalating ownership and operational costs, Formworks home owners are enjoying stability and peace of mind.
Formworks structures provide financial protection against the devastating impact of rising energy costs and ongoing exterior maintenance.
For around the same cost as a comparable wood frame home, you can protect you and your family, both physically and financially, with a home that will last for more than a hundred years.

Solar and Geothermal systems are remarkable for their ability to keep energy costs very low while preserving natural resources. To install these systems in an averaged size home, you are looking at a substantial investment ($17,500.- $47,500.)
Formworks' homes achieve solar and geothermal properties naturally through is unique, patented building system. The earth's constant temperature is what makes geothermal systems the most efficient, comfortable, and quiet heating and cooling technologies available today. Formworks' "earth-sheltered" or "green-roof" makes it a perfect geothermal system. With the Formworks geothermal system, there are no heat pumps and tubing to pay for or to maintain. Our homes are designed to let our good Mother Earth do most of our heating and cooling for us - free of charge.
