SunTerra Homes is a design/construction business located in Bend, Oregon committed
to cost-effective, energy-efficient construction since 1975. SunTerra's mission
is to provide a complete service to our clients beginning with help in evaluating
their  property
before or after purchase as a free courtesy, putting their home dreams on blue
prints, building their home within their budget and standing behind
our product with service and care. SunTerra also provides a plan and information
service for people outside our service area, so they can duplicate the construction
of a SunTerra home successfully. The SunTerra Home award-winning design concept
has evolved over the last twenty years while designing and building homes throughout
the northwestern United States. We focus on occupant comfort, less home maintenance,
health, design aesthetics, and market value, in applying conservation to our
clients' homes. Sunterra offers third-party certification of the energy-saving
and environmental features through ENERGY STAR Homes and Earth Advantage. We
select only the construction elements and energy conservation equipment that
truly save our clients money.
SunTerra applies the latest in building science to its homes.Our "total-concept" approach
seeks to enhance living comfort and home sustainability through every
one of our energy saving features including: Solariums and passive
solar, proper insulation, heat recovery ventilation, alternative
heating and cooling systems, earth sheltering, new window technologies,
advanced framing and more.
Since heating requirements vary depending on location, we provide
a variety of construction methods from which to choose. The SunTerra
Design considers not only climate but also utility cost as factors
when determining construction standards. This gives our clients
the ability to choose conservation methods for their specific needs.
In most cases, you acquire a more valuable home at less annual expense.
As utility rates increase, your savings increase.
 “Sunterra’s policy of total communication, honesty, and quality
left me feeling so positive about the experience and about the friendships
I feel I formed with their entire team, that I don’t hesitate
to recommend them to anyone. I feel I received more house for the
money than I would have with any other builder in Bend, and I know
I can go back to Sunterra and receive the same courteous attention
I have had since I began working with them. They truly are Master
Builders!” (Falxa, Bend OR)
"I met Jim at a previous tour of homes and liked the fact that Jim
was easy to get in touch with. I am really happy that Jim talked
me into a second floor outside deck. I like to sit in my swing and
enjoy the view." (Jackson, Bend, OR)
“We feel like we have a life-long commitment from Sunterra
Homes, and this provides us with a good feeling of security regarding
our home.” “Also, the subcontractors appeared to be of
excellent, personal quality and integrity. The work site remained
clean, and at all stages the construction was professionally done.
Sunterra works very hard to insure quality work at a competitive
price. The personal commitment and integrity of all of the Sunterra
Homes employees is very special. And so, I am pleased to offer my
highest recommendation to Sunterra Homes.” (Sager, Bend OR)
When SunTerra designs a new home, much consideration is given to
the efficient use of  space without sacrificing spaciousness. This
is achieved by creating multiple-use areas within an open design
concept. Our designs are all exclusive and reflect the specific needs
of today's changing lifestyles. We believe that the SunTerra home
represents a home for the future that is available today. When a
customer purchases a SunTerra plan, they also receive our construction
resource compact disc providing information to properly apply conservation
to their specific home.
