Cost
There are many ways to look at cost, and although the ALOeTERRA team would like to extend the meaning of cost to include health, lifespan, and carbon impact, sometimes you just need to look at the dollars. Because this was a prototype project, just to give you the amount that it would cost the team to research, design, and construct the home is not a true estimate of the market value of the house. We a providing two different cost sheets in order to show both the project cost and the market cost of our ALOeTERRA home.
