The custom home building industry has made leaps and bounds in its movement towards building Green. Incorporating Green Building products and practices in homebuilding and remodeling projects results in quality homes and financial savings for you.
Green Building is not simply a title we use but a belief that we can help our planet by focusing on developing sustainable sites, reducing waste, and increasing energy efficiency in a home.
Current building codes establish minimum construction standards that protect your safety. Green Building supplements building codes by using premium materials that are more durable and construction practices that often exceed building code requirements. Together, these qualities enhance your home’s performance and reduce maintenance and replacement costs, thereby raising its overall value.
In order to have a productive Green Home, you need to be able to cut costs when required. This means using less electricity and trying to eliminate the products that have a negative impact on the environment. Even the smallest effort can make a significant difference.
Don Collins Builder has built Certified Green Homes and Energy Star rated homes throughout Raleigh, area of North Carolina and has been established as an industry leader in Green Building.
Although it is obvious that there are many cost-effective ways to go Green, some of them are often forgotten. While benefits will vary depending on the specific choices made by the builder and homeowner.
