Home designer and Zero Energy Ready Home Instructor Armando Cobo highlights the importance of highly detailed home plans in preventing costly foundation, structural, and mechanical issues. However, he cautions that there’s no single solution that fits every project. Success isn’t just about choosing the right products—it’s about how they’re applied and installed. Cobo emphasizes that building a high-performance home costs only one to three percent more than one built to baseline code—a small investment that pays for itself quickly.
