First LEED Platinum Home in Florida

Stalwart Green Global International“Building Capacity For Sustainable Delivery”

Oak treads, bamboo floor with natural light throughout and beautiful affordable LEED Platinum Home


Oak cabinets, bamboo floor with energy efficient appliances and beautiful affordable LEED Platinum Home


Solar Powered


Solar Inverter on back porch.


Site Built porches and siding. Often siding and porches can also be factory built.


Taping the vapor barrier helps air sealing which is one of the processes in reducing air infiltration which reduces HVAC loads and energy cost.Tar paper was added for additional protection from water infiltration


Painting and exterior trim completed before final metal roof. Interior touch up is being completed at the same time


Second floor modules set and pulling over hinged roof to dry in within several hours versus weeks or months with traditional stick built construction


Second floor module is being set and HVAC Ducts are checked and boots connected between floors during set.

Ducts were pressure checked and verified by HERS Rater at Plant and will be re-checked on site

Day of the Set

Each module is set with precision and in connections between modules made while preparing the next module.


Modules are set and a sealing process is installed within the band joist / between floors to meet high energy standards


Second floor module is being set and pulling over hinged roof to dry in immediately


Duct work and wiring is installed at plant in a dry controlled environment, but connected floor to floor during set


Second floor module is being set and pulling over hinged roof to dry in immediately

HVAC Chase and Solar chase way to roof for panels


First floor module is set and now lining up second module.

Modules can weigh tons so experienced crews carefully move adjoining module.

Day of the Set


First floor module is being set. Very important to get the first floor modules set perfectly as you set the second floor.

In multifamily where you build 4 -12 stories theaccuracy becomes even more critical.

Day of the Set


Geothermal Wells drilled and complete before Modules are set. By installing the Geothermal system in the plant and managing the cost of vertical ground loops there was significate savings from local retail installers.


Modules arrive and will be staged for a one day set and dry in.

Day of the Set


A vapor barrier applied with adequate drainage and ready for modules.


Strapping details for hurricane resilient building requires adequate steel rebar and sound subsoil. This requires soil test and a structural engineer.


Strapping comes through the block which also is filled with concrete. A vapor barrier will be applied and ready for modules.


Plant Manufacturing Process


Air sealing is the key to reducing air infiltration which reduces HVAC loads and energy cost


Strapping that was started at foundation continues floor by floor


Permit Set of Plans


Permit Set of Plans Example

Modular plans are approved on a State Level due to third party inspections in the Manufacturing Facility often in other States.

Modular has been very popular in the north due to colder climates and has become more popular in the south in the past years due to quality control, limited labor resources and changes in building codes to higher wind loads and updated energy codes.

In SGGI modular its required to have certified engineers for the modules structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC.


The Bateman HouseZero Energy Prototype

It was an honor to work with the Department of Energy and LEED for Homes Team to present the First LEED for Homes House in Florida.

LEED for homes was in its infancy and SGGI was ask to participate in the prototype in participation with Florida Solar institute, Department of Energy and LEED for Homes and we appreciate the opportunity to advance Building Science.

Ms. Bateman is a believer that our resources are limited and we need to build our homes in a more responsible way. The SGGI prototype would not have been a success without the participation of Ms. Bateman… we thank her.
