Here are the top 10 questions a family should ask themselves before designing their home:
- How big is your family and how long do you plan on living in your new home? This question will help you determine the size and layout of your home, as well as the features that are most important to you. For example, if you have young children, you may want to consider a home with a playroom or a large backyard. If you plan on staying in your home for many years, you may want to consider features that will make it accessible as you age.
- What is your budget? It is important to set a budget for your home design and construction project before you start. This will help you make informed decisions about the materials and features that you choose.
- What is your lifestyle like? Think about how you use your home on a daily basis and what features are most important to you. For example, if you entertain frequently, you may want to consider a home with a large kitchen and living room. If you work from home, you may want to consider a home with a dedicated office space.
- What is your aesthetic? Think about the overall style of your home and the types of finishes and materials that you like. This will help you create a cohesive design that reflects your personal taste.
- What are your must-haves and nice-to-haves? Make a list of the features that are most important to you and the features that you would like to have if possible. This will help you prioritize your spending and make sure that your home design meets your needs.
- What are your environmental concerns? If you are interested in living a more sustainable lifestyle, you may want to consider designing your home with energy-efficient features and eco-friendly materials.
- What are your accessibility needs? If you or a family member has a disability, it is important to design your home with accessibility features in mind. This may include things like wider doorways, ramps, and accessible bathrooms.
- What is your neighborhood like? Consider the style of the homes in your neighborhood and the surrounding environment. You may want to design your home to complement the existing architecture and landscape.
- What are your zoning restrictions? Before you start designing your home, it is important to check with your local zoning department to see what restrictions are in place. This may include things like the size and height of your home, as well as the type of materials that you can use.
- What are your future plans? If you have children, think about how your needs may change as they grow up. For example, you may want to design a home with bedrooms that can be easily converted into offices or playrooms. If you plan on retiring in your home, you may want to consider features that will make it more accessible and comfortable in your later years.
Our product, Duratherm SIPs for walls and roofs, is manufactured in Mexico and made out of the highest quality materials available. Researchers, worldwide, have concluded that SIP Panels offer the safest building alternative for earthquake zones. From Mexico to Southern California, from Chile to Haiti, SIPs have quickly become the tool of choice for rebuilding earthquake damaged structures.
There is a wide variety of SIP Panels that you can choose from. Our panels are a sandwich of two exterior sheets of fiber cement and an interior core of high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), forming a monolithic unit ready to be used as wall roof or floor. Therefore, they avoid the need for drywall or siding (a layer of synthetic stucco or elastomeric paint is sufficient) and offer insects like termites, ants or more no suitable food or lodging.

James Bryant is the Founder of Duratherm Building Systems and the designer of the Duratherm panel. For the past 10 years, Duratherm has been producing what they believe to be the strongest Structurally Insulated Panel in the world. With zero failures in earthquakes and hurricanes (houses built with this product have endured 7.9 quakes and cat 5 hurricanes), this eco-friendly product reduces the carbon footprint of a building by 50-70%. Bryant's desire to provide green technology solutions and responsible stewardship of natural resources is part of the core process of all business decisions and activities in which Duratherm engages.They say necessity is the mother of invention, and for Bryant, this proved to be true. With a goal to start building for retiring baby boomers on the coast of Oaxaca, the biggest concern in building down there is the earthquakes and hurricanes. Concrete and block are strong and rigid, but in a big quake, they consistently fail, due to that rigidity. Driven to find a safer way to build, research resulted in SIPs. The basic idea has been around for 85 years; however, Bryant adjusted his recipe to meet the needs of the harsh seismic and weather conditions of the tropical coast of Oaxaca, and in 2007 the company was born. Now, with factories in Oaxaca and Aguascalientes, in the past two years, company has shipped to the middle-east, to Africa, to the USA, and to Costa Rica. As mentioned before, with over 100 projects completed, the Duratherm system has never failed in an earthquake or a hurricane.
