Sustainability is at the forefront of Mighty Buildings’ engineering, design, and material selection and the company is moving towards a low-carbon and sustainable future. They’ve committed to get to Net-Zero by 2028, 22 years ahead of the construction industry and have recently joined United Nations' #RacetoZero campaign.

The structures are also satisfying the growing desire for accessory dwelling unites (ADUs), which are separate living spaces on the same property of an existing house. ADUs are small and functional but can still be outfitted with custom furnishings to achieve the design style you desire.

ADUs can be converted into in-law units, extra studio space, accommodate a grown child returning home, a fully-functional gym or as income properties. The possibilities with ADUs are endless.

While small, Mighty Buildings homes are big on design. With high-end finishes like countertops, cabinets and appliances and in many floor plans, beautiful floor-to-ceiling Andersen® windows and doors.

“These small homes not only offer options for affordable housing, their business model directly confronts construction waste while creating beautiful, modern designs by working with manufacturers that offer contemporary products such as Andersen’s E-Series line,” said Chris Haslock, Andersen Territory Sales Rep.

With the importance of increasing affordable housing, cities around the nation are beginning to relax restrictions against ADUs and are recognizing the solutions they bring to the housing crisis.

"We are revolutionizing an industry by introducing more efficient materials and more efficient technology that isn't tailored to certain designs," said chief operating officer Alexey Dubov, in an interview with Tech Xplore.
