FabCab is different in a good way.

We’ve successfully combined two worlds:

architect-designed layouts and site-

assembled, precision-cut materials. Our

hybrid approach unites the best of

everything in new home design –

customization; sustainable practices;

universal design (UD) features; durable,

high quality materials; and the flexibility

for site additions such as solar panels,

decking and other custom elements.

Every client and every site is unique. We

can modify a floor plan or create a

wholly unique one. In either case, we

adapt our designs to meet each client's

requirements and to work well with their

particular site. Our professional

services include site planning, schematic

design and generation of permit-ready

and construction documents. We work

with your general contractor to assemble

the complete home.

Our approach.

The genesis of FabCab was the 2010

Seattle Home Show where Emory

Baldwin unveiled his TimberCab

design. Encouraged by the enthusiastic

response to his approach to healthy

and efficient living, Emory re-calibrated

his architecture firm to focus full time on

FabCab.

About FabCab

3

Our philosophy.

We focus on designing sustainable,

healthy, eco-friendly homes that are

highly accessible for people of all ages

and abilities. FabCab homes are a

happy collaboration of light-filled

rooms, efficient use of space and

applied UD principles. The result is an

honest, uncomplicated approach to

living simply and beautifully.

Our ah-ha moment.

2015 FabCab. All Rights Reserved. ©

During the design phase, clients and

architects discuss the project and explore

ways to push and pull the design to create

a home that is perfect for the client’s

needs.

If the client wishes us to design a wholly

unique home for them, we can do that,

too. Either way, we adapt our designs to

meet each client's requirements and to

work well with each particular site.

A few examples are on the following

pages. Keep in mind, we can modify these

plans or create a wholly new floor plan.

We’ve combined 21st century

technology with the craftsmanship of

traditional site-built methods. Our

hybrid approach shaves weeks off the

shell assembly and greatly reduces

on-site waste.

FabCab has a vested interest in

maintaining the structural integrity of

the homes we design. When you

purchase a FabCab design, you are

also purchasing the structural shell

materials for a high-quality home that

will last for many years.

TimberCab Structural Shell

Our SIPs are 6.5” (R-24) for walls and 10.5” (R-40) for

roofs. They are 60% more energy efficient than a

typical stud wall that has fiberglass insulation. SIPs

are manufactured in a controlled environment with

wiring chases cut in. These panels are efficient to

assemble and reduce on-site waste. If additional

insulation is required, panels can be thickened.

Our roofing is 24-gauge steel standing seam metal roof with crimped

seams. Metal roofing lasts 2x to 3x longer than asphalt shingles.

Concealed clip/fastener system allows for thermal expansion and

contraction. Additionally, the roof is ‘cool’ –– designed to reflect

more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof.

Exterior walls incorporate a rain screen assembly behind the siding. The

system of drainage and ventilation pathways is designed to ensure dry

conditions within the wall panels. Rain screens equalize air pressure and

allow moisture to evaporate rather than remaining in the walls.

People often calculate the cost of a new home based on price per square foot. Beyond the home itself, there are other costs including site

preparation and land improvements. Consider these three buckets when putting together your overall budget.

Determining the overall budget

Structural shell Roof Exteriors Interiors

Builder’s materials

An easily accessible, level lot with

utilities near a main road requires the

least amount of site preparation; a

slab-on-grade foundation is the most

cost-effective.

The removal of trees or boulders

on the site adds to the cost of the

project; and a crawlspace

foundation adds cost.

A steep slope requires extensive

site work; a post and pier

foundation adds cost.

Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3

Budgets and Pricing

38

Building site conditions have an impact on the client’s overall budget. If the land is remote and raw, without utilities, sewer or septic, and/or if the

building site is sloped, the cost to develop and prepare it for the home’s foundation will add cost. If the land is not yet purchased, it’s difficult to

get a solid estimate for site preparation.

Site preparation for three foundation systems

Common site preparation scenarios:

FabCab services and materials •  Professional design and engineering fees •  Full set of permit-ready documents •  FabCab shell materials •  Freight of shell materials to building site

*This is an estimate based on 2014-15 Washington State cost of labor, easily accessible level lot and standard interior finishes. Cost of labor varies by region. Estimate does not include other project costs such as purchase of the land; site preparation; septic/sewer; utilities connection; permitting and other possible fees. Unfortunately, it's not possible for us to provide estimates for these items because we don't control them — they would come from your builder or other agencies. Pricing does not include any applicable sales tax, and should be considered a starting point for budgetary purposes only.
