About This Plan

This 562 sq. ft. Utility Independence Control Center is a Lifetime Design and one of our Utility Independence Series:

1) Utility Independence Design Series

This two-fold initiative will enable development in remote locations and provide additions to current homes for supplemental, or even primary utility services. This practical and affordable Utility Independence Series provides new opportunities for vacation retreats, private quarters hidden in remote natural areas, and Freedom to live virtually wherever you choose without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

2) Learning from the Past, Planning for the Future...

With each new day, we seem to be confronted with issues of depleting resources or other environmental concerns. This series of designs offers a proactive opportunity to reverse the trend, to use emerging technologies, to become increasingly self-sufficient and become a part, not of the problem, but of the solution.

3) The UIS Control Center:

The Utility Independence Series can provide freedom to live virtually anywhere you choose.

The UIS Control Center is conceived to facilitate remote communities. Further, this concept will create the demand for a New Professional Trade...Utility Independence Specialists
