Knowledge is a wonderful thing! http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs058/1102570283989/archive/1106185213344.html By Ian B. Jones I am often approached by potential clients that want to know the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a design/build solution over the more historically prescribed design/bid/build solution for their home construction projects. This is a very complicated conversation that has many conditions and variables to be determined before coming to a useful conclusion. But in many ways,the previous sentence somewhat defines and promotes the design/build process. By Mel Inglima With good preparation and guidance,it’s easy to keep costs under control. Whether you’re getting ready to build or remodel,it makes sense to have a well defined strategy to follow. So,you’re looking for ideas for building your home and making it green. Green homes are healthy buildings for the occupants and the environment. They are also economical buildings,boasting reduced energy,water and maintenance costs. However,constructing or renovating homes in an environmentally responsible manner requires a great deal of planning and there are hundreds of building techniques and products to integrate into a green home. The most important consideration is balancing economic and time input with economic,personal and environmental benefit. Whether you are building your home here in North Georgia or any other climate,here are some specific ideas that may help you build your green home. When building or remodeling a home,there a lot of things that one should consider. And during this process,sometimes it’s the little things that are overlooked. These things may seem small but can make a tremendous difference over time. The number one thing to not overlook is Energy Efficiency. If you don’t remember anything else,remember to make sure your new home is Energy Efficient. If you are considering remodeling your current home,make sure that is at the top of your list also. This will save you a considerable amount of money over time and may pay for some of the other little connivence options you may be considering. | ||
