Resource Efficiency
Use Engineered Lumber
To help build your dream home we use engineered lumber. Engineered lumber adds value
to construction because it is stronger, virtually defect free and capable of supporting
heavy loads over long spans. Since engineered lumber requires less lumber, waste
is minimized and fewer trees need to be cut. In addition, byproducts from other
production processes such as small chips or unusable bits of wood can be recycled
and reused in engineered wood products.
Exterior Cladding with Minimum 25-Year Guarantee
Eco Smart homes make a strong statement about savings and comfort. We use brick
and cementious siding for exterior cladding to reduce the amount of air that enters
and escapes through the building envelope. What’s more, the manufacturer backs
it up with a 25-year guarantee. So what this means is that your new home will not
only save you money, but you’ll also be saving the environment because there
will be less material waste from costly home repairs, as your new home is built
to keep it from needing exterior repairs for years to come.
