“Green” Building

Lately, you may have heard more about “going green” when it comes to building a new home. But you’ve probably wondered, what does that mean exactly?

All in all, “green” building means using our valuable, irreplaceable natural resources—including our water, land, and trees—more efficiently and effectively when building a new structure.

Designer Homes is proud to rely upon building materials and methods that contribute to a “greener” world while providing our customers high quality, energy efficient homes.

The “green” impact

Many homeowners don’t realize the huge impact that their homes have on the environment. Studies indicate that buildings actually contribute more toxins to our environment than vehicles. In fact, more than half of all pollutants and greenhouse gases come from built structures!

As a system-built homes builder, Designer Homes’ construction methods create less construction waste, meaning less impact on our environment. Because all of our homes are built in a factory-controlled setting, material orders are more precise and lumber is always pre-cut. Additionally, our homes are more energy efficient than traditional site-built homes because they’re sealed tighter in our factory.

It’s so easy being “green”

So, what are some of the benefits of investing in a “green” home?

- Greater long-term savings on energy bills

- Heightened safety and health of home occupants

- Less construction waste and more efficient use of building materials

- Reduction of greenhouse gases, pollutants, and overall carbon footprint

Better for the environment. Better for your wallet. Better for your family: That’s why Designer Homes is committed to eco-friendly construction!
