Discover the Advantages of Our Yurts Over Traditional Buildings

One of the most significant advantages of yurts is their affordability. The average cost of constructing a traditional hard-wall house in Hawaii is around $354.00  per square foot (excluding permits and excavation). In contrast, our yurts cost down to just $19.25 per square foot. This remarkable price difference allows you to enjoy your dream home without breaking the bank.

Dreaming of moving into your new home quickly? Our yurts can be installed in as little as 3 days, compared to the 16 to 36 months typically required for traditional house construction here on Oahu. This fast setup means you can start enjoying your new space sooner.

Yurts are incredibly versatile when it comes to installation. They can be set up on a variety of terrains—whether it’s a flat field, a grassy slope, or even a jungle—without the need for extensive excavation or landscaping. Our yurt components are easy to transport and can be carried in a pick-up truck, making setup simple and hassle-free.

Navigating licensing and financing can be daunting, but with our yurts, the administrative process is lighter and less demanding compared to traditional buildings. This ease of administration allows you to focus more on enjoying your new home and less on paperwork.

Our yurts are designed with sustainability in mind. They are energy-efficient, which helps reduce your environmental footprint and lowers utility costs. With minimal impact on the environment and the option to integrate solar power, our yurts are a green choice for eco-conscious living.
