Real Green Houses by Allison Brophy Champion, staff writer

Saving money...
Walter Cheatle Jr., vice-president of production with Trigon Homes, said his company is dedicated to building green now and into the future. “Every house we build from here on out will be an EnergyStar-certified house or EarthCraft,” he said. “This is by no means an anomaly.” Cheatle, 32, said Trigon started small with its model so as to show that an energy efficient house can go up at any price point. “We want every homeowner, whether they have quite a bit of money or they’re a first time homebuyer, to be able to buy into the green house program because it’s really become the wave of the future,” he said.

A huge misconception, Cheatle went on, is that it’s too cost-prohibitive to build green; while it’s “a little bit more expensive” to use better building standards, he said, it’s not so much that it will translate into a higher selling price. “We can stay right in the first-time homebuyer parameters and make it work for just about everybody,” Cheatle said. “It’s such a good program, we really believe the resale for the homeowners in the future is going to be a great benefit to them as well.” Click here for full article.

Finding the right builder is key to achieving the new home that you envision.  Today, more than ever, people are choosing to build a new home to fit their individual needs, tastes, and lifestyles. They have learned that custom-built does not always mean expensive, and that it more often means better quality, higher satisfaction, and better long-term value for their house dollar. When you find the right builder, the process of building your very own new home will be even more rewarding and a much less stressful experience that you might imagine.
