Building a Healthy home is one of the best Investments you can Make IN your family’s health.

Did you know that the most important thing to get right is hiring a Design/Build Team that can excute your vision?

Don’t know where to start? Start Here!

Hi, I’m Noralinda Ureste, and I guide individuals who are hypersensitive to their indoor environment navigate the planning phases of their healthy home. If you are currently planning to build your healthy home from the ground up, but feel like you need some guidance with:

  • the planning process while considering your goals for health, your budget, and your timeline

  • hiring the right design/build team to execute your healthy home

  • understanding your place in the building process

Consider scheduling a Preliminary Planning appointment with me.

With certifications in Building Biology, environmental health, and healthy materials, coupled with my own experience in building a healthy home, I have spend the last 7 years immersing myself in all things healthy building. I’ve spent hundreds of hours educating myself on building science, healthy materials and their effects on human health. I am currently in the process of building several vacation rentals that put both human health and sustainability at the center of each build.

As I am currently in the process of building several vacation rentals, I frequently receive inquiries asking for builder or architect recommendations. I can tell you from experience that no one person can guarantee your healthy home will be built without a hitch. For your vision to be executed successfully, you must be clear on your goals, work with the right team, know how to communicate with them, and do your part as the home owner. The following challenges keep most homeowners from being active participants in their build:

  • Not setting goals for your home

  • Overwhelm with decisions, options, information

  • Not thoroughly vetting building professionals and contractors

  • Unaware of consultants who can provide 3rd party verification

  • Not disclosing budget

  • Not establishing how build mistakes will be handled with your build / design team

  • Being solely focused on healthy materials

  • Setting unrealistic expectations, and more…

If you are struggling with these challenges and figuring out how to get your healthy home build started, let me help.

Through my consulting services, I will help you understand all the things I wish I had known when I started on my healthy build, helping you to become more knowledgeable about the design / build process, so that your vision of a healthy home can be executed to your specifications.

I know that this is the biggest investment of your life, both financially and for your health. Work with me to:

  • understand what makes a healthy home from the ground up and what you will need to consider for your unique home

  • refine and prioritize your goals for your healthy home so that you can make decisions with confidence

  • understand how to vet and hire a design/build team (builder, architect, etc), so that you can trust them to do what they do best

  • learn why to disclose your budget, so that your entire team is on the same page

  • understand your place in the building process and more…

The complexity of building a home can be overwhelming for almost anyone building a custom home, adding elements that support your health multiplies that complexity. Beyond selecting healthy materials, understanding how planning (and more planning) are time and money well spent to ensure your build is well-executed.
