Building Green is Not Enough … You Have to Live Better

Building Green is Not Enough You Have to Live Better

Since 2003, Olde Heritage Builders has committed to certifying 100% of all our homes Energy Star and NAHB green. During those 7 years we have learned many aspects about building science and the "how to" that really is green building. We have become known as "the green building" company here Raleigh area. I provide this background information in order to explain the title. "You Can't Just Get Greener... You Have To Get Better"

Green building has definitely made us a better company and helped us thrive in a down market. However, just because we build green doesn't guarantee success. All of the core principles my parents implement over 20 years - prior to us building a green home - are the foundation of our success. Examples of those principles include:

honesty is the best policy

build a good team of people who you can trust

treat all people with respect

keep open lines of communications

"don't get too big for your britches"

That last one is one of those slogans you just have to be from here to understand. Simply put, we want to be the best, not the greenest. Green building is part of being the best. No one could can honestly state that a home that uses less energy, has safer indoor air, requires less maintenance, is more durable, holds and builds more value, and has less impact on our planet, isn't a home that is better than one that does not have those attributes.

But that's just a piece of the puzzle. For all of us in any industry we have to strive to be the best to help us survive and thrive during a down economy. We can do things the right way and still be successful. To learn more about green building, please call 919-269-4555 or complete the contact form on our website.
