Sustainable

 

Builders from the earliest days were green builders. They worked with natural materials taken from where they lived. They made structures that could last for centuries or could be packed up and moved to another location.

Today, Green is about enduring quality, resource conservation, and healthy living environments. Environmentally conscious building demonstrates good planning and design. The smart use of construction materials, finished products, and well designed systems can reduce a building's carbon footprint. Efficient deconstruction provides materials that can be reused or donated. Deconstruction can provide substantial tax credits for homeowners.

Not only do we believe in sustainable construction but also sustainable communities. The company regularly contributes efforts to community causes such as Habitat for Humanity East Bay and Rebuilding Together.
