- We can train your selected local builder in our fast, effective and quality methods.
- We can provide independent quality assurance.

TUFF+ Custom built options
Best Envirohomes Ltd can refer you to experienced architects and engineers to design your home using our exclusive range of TUFF+ materials.
There is a unique process we use to take your dream plan and make it happen using our unique TUFF+ InterLock method. This method provides cost effective and strong buildings.
Firstly we will work with you to create a 3D model which allows you to experience what your home will look like. This can then be taken to an approved architect to ensure best communication with their engineer and draftspersons.
Our team partners can guide you through building authority approval for your plan, for the country and area in which you intend to build.
3 Dimensional Walkthrough Service
A 3D model of your dream house can be created before you commence building. We will work with you so that you can take a virtual tour of your building dream and not be surprised about why “the lounge didn’t fit in that corner” because you will have placed the furniture where you want it in the model.
We provide a free educational access to our building models for that purpose!
If you would like to walk through an interactive 3D model of a TUFF+ home which has since been built in Serenita Village, you can click here!
(Stroll through the building using a virtual reality headset, or on a PC use the mouse and scroll wheel to view, arrow keys to navigate)
Everyone wants their home to be what they expected, and the most important objective during the construction is clear, two way communication, of progress, of issues that arise with your builders.
Best EnviroHomes Ltd has researched tropical housing construction across the world, and recommends hurricane proofing via flat roof, interlock construction and pultruded glass rafters and joists bolted for strength to prestressed concrete piles.

Your Choice is Respected
Best EnviroHomes can build your home as to your requirements. (Should you wish to build a home that does not meet our high building standards we will refer you to another builder.)
We believe you will want a beautiful interior to live in, and also a stylish exterior and garden area.
These choices are yours, providing they meet CBA and Serenita Village standards and your budget.
We will work with you as a team:
Strong Building
In order to cope with hurricane strength winds, we have a design which handles both vertical roof lift in the case of peaked roofs, and sideways (Lateral) forces which can rip a house off the foundation.
Our walls and roofs are all interlocked into each other, stronger than bricks cemented on a slab.
This means that the risk of the house coming off the foundation during a hurricane (as per illustration above) is negligible.
Communication & Plan Changes
A clear contract will be defined, detailing the methods of delivery and scheduled payments for TUFF+ materials or kits.
We will also assist you in choosing the appropriate certified builder to assemble your building.
If you are building with a bespoke plan and the scope changes , we commit to letting you know the effect on materials pricing as soon as we find out. Changes in cost of labor will be the responsibility of the contracted certified builder.
If there is no change advised, you can relax knowing that we are working to your plan and budget.
We let you know if things if unkown problems arise.
We will be playing the same music!
How much Time does it take to Build?
Below the major milestones in our building process are listed, with an indicative time scale:
- Architectural Approval and then building contract. (2-5 months) NOTE – no building is allowed in Belize until government Central Building Authority -CBA is granted
- Preparation of foundational piles and manufacture/shipping of TUFF+ building materials. (4-6 months)
- Building of the house frame, walls and roof. (2-4 months)
- Fitout of electrics, plumbing, utilities and interior, ready for living in. (3-4 months)
These dates depend on many things, such as sourcing the furniture and amenities you want inside, but it is possible to move from purchasing land to moving in in a year ! Compare this to other builders in Belize and you will find that this is very efficient.
Build Green for the Future
In a green circular economy, nothing is waste. Our environmentally sustainable approach re-uses as much material as possible, by recycling into new materials.
This is evident in the bulk of the building material we use for our EnviroHomes, TUFF+ enviropanels, which are manufactured to strict standards, from recycled materials where appropriate, while at the same time improving speed of building, insulative and safety qualities etc.
