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.

I have been in construction and maintenance for the past 30 years.  Over that time, I have worked with some good contractors as well as some who did not meet my expectations.  MasterCraft Design & Build is at the top of my list of outstanding contractors.  Steve helped us to create a custom design/build home and made the process very easy and enjoyable.  We love our new home and recommend MasterCraft Design & Build to anyone wanting to build their dream home.”
