Insulated Conditioned Crawl Space with Concrete Base

Unique in the building industry, a concrete based, insulated conditioned crawl space allows

plumbing and ductwork to be protected from the cold resulting in lower energy costs for the

homeowner. Also, all foundations include a perimeter drain with sump-pump.

R-21 Batt Insulation

Wall insulation saves energy, controls moisture and helps to reduce noise.

R-38 Blown-In Ceiling Insulation

Along with an advanced air-seal process, blown-in insulation fits more tightly than other

insulation preventing air leaks, and efficiently keeps your home at the right temperature

which can save you money on your heating and air conditioning bills.

Low-E Single Hung Vinyl Windows by Pella®

Low-E coatings on windows reduce energy loss by as much as 30-50% compared to other

windows, keeping excess heat and cold from permeating into your home. This will allow you

to enjoy your living space and lower your energy bills too!

Pre-Engineered Roof Trusses and Floor Joists System

Pre-engineered Roof trusses are strategically designed for strength and durability, eliminating

the need for guesswork on the construction site. A Floor I-Joist system gives stability and

strength to the home. Paired with an AdvanTech® subfloor that is glued and screwed, it

insures for a quiet, level, and stable floor for your new home for years to come.

9 Foot Ceilings

Purchasing a homes with 9’ ceilings on the first floor is a modern amenity that brings value to

your home investment. Higher walls and ceiling provide a more spacious and roomy feel

allowing for special finishes, crown moldings, fans and other aesthetics of your choice.

40 Gallon Hot Water Heater

This easily allows for enough hot water to cover the needs of your whole home.

8

CFL Lighting & Fixtures

CFL’s (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) use significantly less energy – 75% less energy then

incandescent light bulbs. While using less electricity, CFL’s produce an equivalent amount of

light and also have a life span averaging 10 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Programmable Thermostat

Advanced programmable thermostats give you precise control over your heating and cooling,

helping to reduce wasted energy. Year-round use of programmable thermostats can help re-

duce cooling and heating costs by several hundred dollars annually without compromising

comfort. Today’s thermostats are also easier to use than in years past.

OSB Sheathing with Weather Resistant House Wrap

OSB Sheathing boards are finished without knots, voids, and gaps often found in other types

of wood composite panels and produce a stronger and stiffer panel than other products.

Weather resistant house wrap protects your framing and sheathing better during construction.

2x6 Wall Construction

When a home is built using 2×6 studs, that means the depth of the wall will be approximately

5 ½ inches. That added depth of the wall allows for additional insulation. This provides a

better barrier from the elements (both hot and cold) and therefore increased energy

savings. Additionally, thicker walls and thicker insulation means a quieter home.

12

Full Wood Extension Jambs with Casings & Sills

Another benefit to thicker walls is the beautiful detail it allows for full wood extension jambs

and deep window sills. This detail throughout the home provides a polished finish.
