We make Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). Our Shelters are modular, standalone structures designed for efficiency, sustainability, and quality. These ADUs are prefabricated off-site and delivered to the property, where they are installed on a foundation and connected to utilities. Earthwright's ADUs are characterized by their eco-friendly construction, energy-efficient features, and modern, minimalist design. They are ideal for property owners looking to add a separate living space for family members, create rental income, or expand their living area with a focus on environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Yes. All of our products are CSA certified and undergo detailed design review, strict quality control procedures and frequent inspections. Intertek Testing Services performs the necessary reviews and inspections to maintain our status as CSA Certified Manufacturer of Modular Buildings (CSA A-277).

In almost all cases a Building Permit is required to place an Earthwright Shelter on private, commercial or industrial properties, so we’ve made it EASY.

Here’s How:

We provide detailed structural drawings, design load calculations, and the CSA Certification documents that are required to apply for a building permit with your Municipality.

You will be required to obtain a Site Plan of your property indicating where the building will be located as well as complete the Application documents provided by your Municipality.

Include the documents we provide when you submit your permit application and pay the administration fee.

Permits of this nature (simple) typically take 2-3 weeks for approval.

Once your Earthwright Shelter is positioned in the location indicated on your Building Permit, the local Building Inspector will perform a site visit to confirm and then complete the permit documents.

NOTE: In most cases, the limiting factors regarding the location of an Earthwright Shelter are: setbacks from property boundaries, total lot coverage, and separation from existing structures. These factors are specific to local zoning bylaws and can be easily determined by reviewing local bylaws or contacting your local Building Department.

Earthwright Shelters are specifically designed to not require concrete foundations. The structural steel foundation rails provide continuous bearing to the substrate for consistent load transfer even on marginal substrates. The basic site preparation requirements are:

A level surface, with adequate slope on the perimeter to provide drainage.

Removal of organic soils and vegetation, replaced with compacted crush if necessary to maintain perimeter slope.

Provide access for delivery with trailer or crane.

We’ve made electrical service requirements simple, here’s how:

All of our products come equipped with a 4 meter long, 10 awg. cabtire electrical cord and a 120V 20A plug.

This allows for a plug and play connection to a grounded 120V 20A GFI outlet

With the appropriate adapter, Earthwright Shelters can also be connected to either a 15A or 30A GFI outlet.

In all cases, the electrical outlet being used must be connected to a grounded electrical panel.

For locations within 50ft of the outlet, a 10Awg heavy duty extension cord can be used.

For locations over 50ft from the outlet, a buried cable and post mounted outlet installed by a licensed electrician is required.

Yes, we provide a 10 year warranty on all of our products. Any deficiencies that arise within 10 years of the date of purchase will be corrected at no cost to the owner. Some limitations apply, non-transferable.

Earthwright Shelters have been specifically designed to make transportation and delivery easy, here’s how:

We offer in-house delivery with our tilt deck trailer and F-350.

Local delivery to site is free, other locations are charged by distance.

Free placement where the Earthwright Shelter can be tilted off the trailer (access, 70 ft of straight approach and 16ft clearance is required)

For locations where lifting with a crane is required, Earthwright Shelters come equipped with integrated heavy lifting rings on 4 corners to safely speed up the process and minimize crane time.

Property owners are responsible for all additional cost other than local delivery to site and tilt-off installation.

Can I move my shelter in the future?

Yes, our unique design allows you to hire almost any hauling company to pick up your Earthwright Shelter and transport it to a new location. This means you can sell the unit if you no longer need it or you can take it with you when you relocate to a new home.

For in-stock units, delivery can be completed ASAP, pending Building Permit approval.

For stock units awaiting manufacture, delivery can range from 4-8 weeks.

For Custom units delivery can range from 3-5 months.
