Building Green

Tony has been building "green" a long time before building green has become the new trend in home building.  What does "building green" mean?  In a nutshell, it means that you build a home that is earth or environment friendly and you use items that conserve energy or resources.  The Home Builders Association offers a volunteer "Green Build" program that promotes and educates builders on how to "build green". 

Brakel Construction has advocated building green for years.  Tony believes in using environmentally safe products that conserve energy and improve the quality of life in your home.    Brakel Construction also believes in trying to preserve the environment by recycling most of the materials used on the job site. By doing so, they aren't filling the landfills with unnecessary garbage.

The three main goals of building green are:

• Provide greater energy efficiency

• Provide healthier indoor and outdoor air quality

• Promote resource efficiency
