Learn MoreHow We’re Different
Simple Life homes are:
Healthy
Typical construction materials are often filled with chemicals, that can be hazardous to our health. Our homes are built using natural materials like wood and wood fibres. We always aim to avoid chemically filled products like foam.
Comfortable
Conventional buildings are leaky, causing uncomfortable drafts and cold spots. Our buildings are specifically designed to eliminate cracks and leaks, so you’ll always feel comfortable.
Affordable
We often hear that going green is “too expensive”. We’ve worked hard to change that, so you can go green without going overboard.
Efficient
We super insulate and air seal our buildings providing the most energy efficient building envelope on the market. Allowing you to save energy and money.

Discovery
Get in touch and chat with us about your project goals. We’ll dig deep and discuss project specifics such as budget, vision, and timeline. With this information, we’ll pair you to the best design path for your circumstances.
You can choose a pre-designed build, or use one as a foundation to personalize your place to your liking. Alternatively, you can go the custom route and work with our in-house design team, or even bring on your own architect.
We’ll create a budgetary estimate or proposal for you based on your assigned design path and go from there!
Pre-Construction
We begin planning and preparing your design as it evolves into reality. We coordinate all engineering and design revisions.
Your plans are converted into a detailed 3D digital model using our specialized software. Unlike a site-built home, we create a 3D digital model of your home in-house to pre-plan down to the finest construction detail. Shop drawings are produced based on the 3D Model and your project is scheduled in our production queue.
Production
Your panels are manufactured in-house in an off-site facility.
Manufactured inside of a controlled environment, your home will be built to a superior level of quality. The nature of our work allows for scheduled timelines in order to meet your preferred build date. This also means no weather delays and your home is Quality Controlled to the highest standard.
Delivery & Installation
Your panel package is loaded on a flat bed truck and delivered to site. Install is completed by your local build partner (with the guidance of two of our site representatives as needed).
A blower door test is arranged (optional) as a final closing step to verify the performance of your home. Your project is handed off to your local builder for MEP and finishes.
SLH Prefab Building Enclosure
The Simple Life system is composed of a series of prefabricated components that work together to create a durable, high-performance building envelope. Crafted with precision, each structural panel seamlessly integrates while optimizing efficiency and structural integrity.
