Green Home Building & Remodeling on the Rise
According to recently published findings from McGraw-Hill Construction's Green Home Builders and Remodelers Survey, the construction of eco-friendly single-family homes represented an impressive 17 percent — or $17 billion in economic activity — and is expected to rise to as high as 38 percent within the next four years.
Our vision is for a more sustainable world where all homes are built to support the health and vitality of people and the natural environment.
