Green Building

  • The finished entry welcomes family and friends.
  • The house site.
  • The footings are poured. Note the rebar protruding from the footing. This will tie the upper part of the structure to the footing.
  • Insulated concrete forms are stacked over the footings and ready for concrete. These stay-in-place forms surround the slab and provide an insulated - and warmer - floor.
  • Concrete is poured into the insulated concrete forms.
  • The slab is poured next.
  • Construction begins on the exterior walls for the main level.
  • Expanded floor trusses for the upper level floor.
  • The roof decking goes on.
  • The windows and house wrap are installed.
  • Real progress is being made now.
  • The ducts are sealed to prevent construction scraps and dust from getting in them.
  • The soybean-based spray foam insulation is sprayed by professional installers.
  • A blower door test is performed to locate any air leaks in the exterior walls. It is easy to fix them at this stage of construction.
  • The interior is beginning to look like someone could live here!
  • The home was tested by an independent, third party, certified home energy rater. It received a Five Star Plus rating which more than qualified it as an Energy Star Home.
  • The thoughtful landscaping uses drought resistant, native plants. Rain barrels capture water for use on plants if necessary.
