Built For Performance

Your New High Performance Home
All our homes go through a rigorous independent 3d party audit to ensure we meet all standards for energy efficiency, clean air and water that ensures your safety and comfort within your new home.
A 3rd party audit and inspection proves to the homeowner that a contractor has nothing to hide. Often, subcontractors will use their best crews knowing that their work is going to be rigorously audited. The independent auditor conducts onsite inspections throughout the construction process. If they find any problems or defects, they contact the responsible contractor and ensure that the problem is fixed.
When all house systems are tested, analyzed and tuned to maximize energy efficiency, air and water quality the outcome is a home that is safe, comfortable and long-lasting.
