Looking at the Unit One, Cabin Kit and pricing--- I'll bet you could build about the same thing for less than half the cost with the
Little House Plans

Glad you like the site.

I just checked the Little House Plans - they use 2x6 joists and rafters with flat or gable roof options.  Very complete instructions and John tells you how to modify the plans to fit your needs.

Those Unit One's are a good idea gone expensive IMO.......

I found them and thought they were resonably priced.  After a year or so I found this site and read about the small cabin that the site owner built (  http://www.jshow.com/y2k/listings/29.html & http://www.jshow.com/y2k/listings/3.html )and sells plans for.  He built his WAY cheaper than the Unit One's.
