Unity Homes was launched in 2012 as a spinoff of Bensonwood, a design-build offsite construction company originally founded by Tedd Benson in 1972. Infused with the legacy and credibility of the Bensonwood brand, Unity Homes makes it easy to design and build a high-performance home. Using innovative technology and offsite prefabrication methods, every Unity home is crafted to deliver exceptional quality and outstanding energy efficiency. 

The Unity Home products are based on a portfolio of pre-designed components in a system that allows homeowners to combine “core” and “sub” components from a curated catalog to fit their needs, their site and their budgets. Once the final “streamlined” configuration has been established, the exterior and interior finishes and fixture opportunities have exponential variety. Health, comfort, energy efficiency and durability are the core components of every Unity home, all with fixed costs on a predictable timeline.   

Recognized as leaders within the field of green, sustainable construction, Bensonwood's materials and building systems are based on the latest developments in building science. Their climate-controlled panelization factory in Keene, New Hampshire utilizes sophisticated equipment, prefabricating fully insulated walls and roof panels with dense pack cellulose insulation. Each home can be fully electric, net zero ready and designed for solar installation if desired, reducing energy costs over time. Not only do they utilize sustainable materials and minimize waste, but they also produce fully insulated weather-tight home envelopes that are raised on site in a matter of days. 

Sustainability 

Sustainability is a core value at Bensonwood, a sentiment shared by its homeowners and embodied by its product brands, Unity Homes and OpenHome. Bensonwood prioritizes sourcing environmentally friendly materials, such as sustainably harvested engineered lumber, recycled cellulose insulation, and organic based finishes. Their computer-controlled machinery minimizes waste during the construction process, and wood cut offs ground up for heating fuel or compost. Their well-insulated high-performance shells reduce heating and cooling loads and are net-zero ready. 

It wasn’t just the ease of the process that impressed us – it was everyone’s attitude as well. We can honestly say that we had a really good time with the designing and building of our new home – and who says that?!

The craftsmanship is amazing, as is the design team and project management. Having never worked with a pre-fab, sustainable homebuilding company before, we didn’t know what to expect. We’d recommend Unity to anyone.
