High-Performance Building. No Shortcuts. No Excuses.
At Thackery Living, we engineer homes to live better—not just look good. Our Smart Build™ system blends high-performance construction practices, energy-efficient design, and practical long-term durability. You won’t find gimmicks here—just thoughtful planning, top-tier oversight, and real performance where it matters.
What Makes High-Performance Building Different?
1. Efficient Hot Water Systems
We design our plumbing systems to minimize waste and maximize comfort—so you’re not standing around waiting for the water to get hot. Most fixtures reach full temperature in 5–7 seconds, with even the longest runs staying under 15 seconds. This saves water, time, and energy on a daily basis.
2. Foam Encapsulation with Moisture Management
Spray foam insulation creates a superior thermal envelope—but if done poorly, it can trap humidity and lead to interior wood rot or mold. Our homes are built with a comprehensive approach that manages interior humidity and allows your structure to breathe properly. That means a more comfortable home—and one that’s built to last for generations.
3. Reduced Pest Infiltration
Is reducing indoor pests a priority for you? We take serious steps during construction to seal the outer shell of the home in a way that dramatically cuts down pest intrusion. Especially on wooded or rural lots, this can make a big difference in keeping spiders, ants, and other unwanted guests outside where they belong.
4. Smart Wiring Infrastructure
We work with multiple smart home platforms and are strong believers in lighting control done right. Systems like Lutron Caseta, RA3, and HomeWorks offer seamless control and future flexibility. Our homes can include full wiring for security cameras, Cat-6 data runs, hardwired access points, low-voltage accent lighting, and more—so your home is connected and upgradable for years to come.
5. Solar and Backup Power Ready
We regularly integrate solar readiness and backup generator tie-ins during the design phase. This allows you to expand into alternative energy systems later with less cost, less disruption, and a smoother installation.
6. Structurally Engineered, Third-Party Verified
Every foundation, framing detail, and structural element is designed and stamped by licensed engineers—not just guessed at. Throughout the build, we bring in independent third-party inspectors before each critical phase is covered, adding a second layer of accountability to the work.
Why It Matters
- Faster access to hot water with less waste
- Homes that manage humidity and reduce long-term risk
- Fewer pests indoors—even on wooded lots
- A smarter, cleaner, and more durable wiring backbone
- Alternative energy readiness from day one
- Confidence that structural details are verified and correct
