Green door drafting and design is a residential design firm focusing on energy efficiency and smart construction methods. After being involved in the construction industry for over a decade, Green Door has decided that there has to be a new type of designer for the modern home and family. Too many homes are built currently that do not have the future of our entire society in mind. People need to rewrite their list of priorities and understand that the energy efficiency of a home should be number one on that list. People also need to realize that they can live with less. Less space, less frills, less garbage for the landfill is something that should be accepted worldwide. We don’t want the understanding of necessity to be the downfall of our civilization, do we?
There are many new products and building methods that can be united with older methods to give you the best home available. And since building a home is one of the largest investments you will ever make, wouldn’t you want it to be the best. Everything from insulating the foundation to properly venting the roof structure can alter the energy efficiency of your home. This means wasting or saving more money over the entire life of your home. Homes that are planned with these approaches in mind will not only operate more efficiently, but also use materials more wisely.
Green Door will work with customers on many levels to get the results they require. From simple consultation of materials to complete home design, we can guide you through the process to until all aspects of the project come to fruition. Green Door assists the homeowner in designing their own space to reflect their lives and how they live. This allows the homeowner develop a sense of their home and understands what works and what doesn’t and why.
Green Door has a broad construction background the gives us an edge in understanding the home construction process. Throughout our career we’ve felt it’s been necessary to obtain as much knowledge as possible when it comes to the construction of a home. Often times throughout the year we will take time to work on a project to keep up on new practices, as well as working steadily with the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Pouring concrete basements and floors, balloon framing and rough framing, installing windows, insulating, roofing, landscaping, siding, knowing the utilities and interior finishes are all things that designers have to know about. There are too many designers, architects and engineers that do not have a building practice background. When a designer has a good understanding of construction methods, then they can design properly. In the end you find that saving money and time goes along with making the project easier for the people who actually build your home. Designers need to work side by side with builders to understand what helps them, and what saves the homeowner money.
