Now that prices are rising, choosing a home is truly important: what is a safe and comfortable home that you can't decide on just based on the "surface price"?

物価高騰の春だからこそ

Recently, the cost of building a house has been rising rapidly due to rising prices of building materials and labor costs.

As a result, there may be an increasing number of people who think, "I just want to choose a cheap house."

However, building a house is not the end of the story.

What's really important is what kind of life awaits you after you build it .

🌬️The invisible but monthly “utility bill” loan

Homes with poor insulation tend to be cold in the winter and hot in the summer, resulting in a high reliance on heating and cooling.

This means higher monthly electricity, kerosene, and gas bills, which gradually put a strain on household finances.

At Kobako, we offer standard HEAT20 G2 grade homes that are highly efficient in heating and cooling, allowing you to significantly reduce your utility bills.

For example, in some cases, utility bills can be more than 100,000 yen cheaper per year than in an average home.

Over a 20 year period, this amounts to a difference of more than 2 million yen.

This is the kind of house you build, so even if it costs a little money at first, it will be worth it if you live in it for a long time.

🏔️The performance required varies depending on the region.

Japan is long from north to south, and the cold and humidity vary greatly depending on the region.

For example, in cold regions like Hokkaido, very strict insulation standards are set.

Gunma Prefecture, where we are building our house, is less cold than that, but we still need a system that can withstand the chill in the mornings and evenings and the muggy heat of summer .

Kobako's houses have insulation and airtightness that are perfectly suited to Gunma's climate , making them comfortable places to live in regardless of the season.

🌿 The power of performance that also leads to health

A well-insulated and airtight home is not just energy efficient.

The smaller the temperature difference, the lower the risk of heat shock, and the airtightness helps prevent pollen and PM2.5 from entering from outside, helping to protect your family's health .

🛠️What Kobako values

At Kobako Co., Ltd., we are a "locally-recycling construction company" that cuts down, saws, dries, and processes local timber in-house, and builds homes that make the most of natural materials.

Rather than simply offering "low construction prices," we aim to offer proposals that take into consideration the overall safety, economy, health, and environmental friendliness of the property once residents reside in it .

📩Please contact us first

If you are wondering, "What kind of insulation performance do I need?" or "Is it really that different?"

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We will also carefully explain the "perceived difference" that is difficult to convey with numbers alone, as well as an estimate of the actual utility bills.

Let's think together about what a truly great home is for your family.
