BELFAST — A Belfast company will build 20 homes in 2024 and plans to build 25 more in 2025. Find out how. Join the tour of the new GO Logic carpentry shop in Belfast on Thursday, November 7, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., at 52 Little River Drive. This is a second tour date added due to the high level of interest.

Based on a Swedish construction model of off-site building roof, floor and wall panels with triple-glazed windows from Germany in place, GO Logic can erect a home in less time than is typically needed. Clients can work with GO Logic’s design team to draw plans for homes or cottages from 600 square feet to 2,300 square feet, based on the design principles of creating a super-insulated, air-sealed building shell designed to use 80 percent less energy than a conventional new house. Using state-of-the art computer programing, saws in the shop cut wood to dimensions noted on the design plans in the climate-controlled shop and then, GO Logic building crews attach the panels when they are delivered to the house site. Cranes lift and set the panels in place to assemble the super-insulated air-sealed building shell on the insulated slab.

Alan Gibson, co-founder (and the “G” in GO Logic) will take the Senior College group on a tour of the carpentry facility and present a slide show to describe the process.

Group size is limited to twenty for this event that is free and open to the public as well as to Senior College members. To register, go to the Belfast Senior College website: https://belfastseniorcollege.org/event-5912976
