Green Construction PDF Print

Green building is the most recent trend in the building industry. It refers to a process of building engineering that produces a house using the least amount of natural resources and creating the smallest trail of debris afterwards. The idea of Green building is to make the smallest “Carbon” foot print possible in the building process.

 The reduced impact of your building project can take many forms including:

  • Innovative and Efficient Building Design
  • Low Impact and Rapidly Renewable building materials
  • Energy Efficient building systems
  • Low Energy appliances and lighting fixtures
  • Low Use Plumbing Fixtures and Efficient Water Management
  • Minimal building site disturbance
  • Creative Disposal or Re-Use of building waste
  • Low Impact Landscape selection
  • Efficient Insulation systems
  • Increased indoor Air Quality

Green can be accomplished in varying shades; Light Green with only a few systems to Dark Green for multiple systems and materials. Many ideas can be incorporated at low cost to the project while other ideas may incur higher cost but can offer reimbursement of expenses over time. With extensive knowledge in the area of Green building, we can help you understand the cost and environmental impact of your Green decisions. We can also assist with innovative and unique ideas to make your Green home a one of a kind. In the end, you can be confident that you have a home that creates less of an environmental impact on our planet while maximizing the Green in your wallet.

"After interviewing five general contractors for the job. I felt very comfortable with Steve and the impressive resume he presented. Having done most of the work on our house myself and with the help of my friends, I was not about to let just anyone rebuild our dream home.

With a list of excellent subcontractors, creative design, a good working knowledge of the residential industry and scheduling skills Steve was able to satisfy the insurance company and most important the homeowner. We were able to move in a week early. What a thrill."

"When we called you, you responded immediately.  You knew exactly how to coordinate with the insurance company’s adjuster. The craftsmen which you brought to the job were excellent and knew how to restore a 1924 house to its original look using modern materials."

"Steve Horn of Mastercraft Design & Build is truly a professional in the field of custom home building. He uses reputable and highly qualified subcontractors who stand by their work. I wouldn’t say building a house is easy; but Steve made the process rewarding by keeping us involved in every step of the process from design to completion. Steve was easy to work with on all the upgrades and kept detailed records of the progress to stay on schedule. We have a beautiful home we can enjoy for years to come."
