• Efficient building and engineering practices.  Advanced Framing Techniques are a set of engineering and framing techniques that reduce the amount of lumber used while increasing the amount of insulation and structural integrity of the home. This practice is also knows as Optimal Value Engineering (OVE). All of our homes are designed and engineered using Optimal Value Engineering.  This means your home is more energy efficient then standard homes.

System-built homes are engineered to be strong.  In fact, a government study by FEMA following hurricane Andrew found that system built homes performed better then standard site-built homes. The report says: “System-built homes appear to have provided an inherently rigid system that performed much better then conventional residential framing.”

A stronger home is a safer home.  Your home will last longer, require less maintenance and sustain less damage in the event of an earthquake, hurricane, wind storm, etc.

• Insulated, double pane windows with Low-E glazing and argon gas filled cavities are extremely efficient. Low-E glass decreases energy loss by up to 50%.   It contains a highly engineered surface designed to reflect heat before it passes through a window while still allowing most visible light to pass through.  It doesn’t appear any different then ordinary glass.  Low-E also reflects UV light to protect interior furnishing from sun bleaching.  Argon gas filled cavities add an additional 6% energy efficiency over windows without argon gas. Both features increase the energy efficiency of your home and lower your monthly utility bills.

• Our homes offer many sustainable, energy efficient features:

  1. Efficient grid design with exact dimensions that fit building material sizes reduces material waste and labor costs.
  2. Advanced framing techniques increase energy efficiency and reduce material cost and waste.
  3. Windows with low-E glazing and argon gas filled cavities increase energy efficiency.
  4. All energy star appliances and fixtures reduce energy use and increase sustainability.
  5. Low VOC paint and finishes create a safer home with better indoor air quality.
  6. High-tech insulation and air filtration sealing techniques increase energy use for heating and cooling the home.
  7. Exact Floor plan details such as wall panel drawings reduce materials waste and labor costs.
