Our builder friends share your aspirations....
"I like the concept of becoming a green builder, but right now we just need to sell homes! Can going green help me accomplish that affordably?"
"Right now we're having enough trouble just getting quality under control! Becoming a green builder just sounds too complicated! Isn't it?"
"Everybody claims to be "green" these days, I'm not sure the market really knows what green building or all the green builder certifications really mean! Who does?"
Green building means many things to many people, but two facts are clear: Homebuyers are much more knowledgeable and have greater expectations for their next home to be green. So going green will keep you competitive in today's volatile homebuilding market. And staying ahead in the game can lead to profits. IBACOS understands the stress that the green movement is placing on production homebuilders today, and we're ready to demystify the process for you.
In our book, a home isn't green unless it's built to a higher standard of quality and performance. The overwhelming conclusion from the marketplace about green homebuilding is that there are three major drivers: One, a green home must fundamentally use less energy. Two, it must be healthy and comfortable. And three, it must have the least possible impact on the environment. Not easy to put all this into one package and still make it an affordable, high value purchase for your customer!
Smart thinking and planning will turn aspirations into reality. However, it does take a fundamental mind shift and culture change for you to effectively and profitably pull it off. IBACOS' Services team will help you plan, execute and measure the success of your green building efforts. Whether you're targeting ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes, NAHB Green, or some other local green homebuilding standard, we can help you get there. We will help you determine which green building strategies make the most sense for you and guide you through the transition to green building in the field. Arming you with the insight and tools you will need to lead in the changing marketplace—and minimizing your potential risk at the same time.
