Principles
Healthy Home Consultants is firmly guided by the following principles when developing sustainable solutions for our clients design and construction needs:
Streamlined Design
We believe your project should easily transition from design to construction. We strive to make every decision and change-order in the design phase, thus saving the client time and money.
Ergonomic Homes
We believe that homes should be comfortable and user-friendly. The entire home design process is dedicated to the lifestyle of the client and efficient living.
Affordability
We believe that green building should be reasonable in cost; after all, sustainability starts with your pocketbook. Green building may cost 2-5 % more than conventional construction and will lower the long-term operating costs for homeowners and developers by 30-50 %.
Durability
We believe products used in green building should last longer than less sustainable alternatives. We design our homes and buildings to last for at least 200 years.
Easy Maintenance
We believe green buildings should not only have a long life, but can easily be maintained by homeowners with minimal cost.
Accessibility
We believe green buildings should be accessible to all people. The future physical needs of our clients will also be an integral aspect of any design.
Indoor Air Quality
We believe that indoor air quality is a critical health concern and green building should support healthier living environments.
Local Resources
We strive to use local resources, materials, and labor for every facet of the building process. This saves money and conserves the environment due to diminished transportation costs. This also helps to sustain the local economy.
