Over the past 15 years we have instituted green building practices; doing our part to reduce our environmental impact on our beautiful Western North Carolina mountains and communities. Many clients are interested in “green building,” but don’t have a full grasp of what green construction is, the varying degrees of green building, or what’s involved regarding materials, processes, and budgets. Whether you’re interested in a cost-effective green building solution or a home that is net-zero certified, let’s talk about your options and build what’s right for you.

What is Green Building?

Green building refers to the building life-cycle process of a structure that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient. The scope ranges from initial siting to building design, construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition. A green builder uses environmentally friendly construction practices and materials to ensure low environmental impact at every stage.
