Crafting with Intentionality: A Sustainable Approach to Custom Home Building
An inside look Into how We seamlessly integrate sustainability into every aspect of a custom home build
At Forest St Builders, intentionality is not just a principle—it is one of the five Pillars of Excellence that define our approach to building. Sustainability, therefore, holds a special place in our hearts as it directly reflects this intentionality at every stage in the build process.
From the outset of every project, our team prioritizes sustainability because it aligns with our intentional commitment to excellence. Every decision, from material selection to construction processes, is made with meticulous care and attention to detail. This dedication ensures that our homes not only meet the highest standards of quality but also contribute positively to the environment.
Let us take a deeper look into how our team at Forest St. Builders seamlessly integrates sustainability into every aspect of a custom home build.
Recycling and Repurposing
One hallmark of our sustainability efforts is our intentional approach to recycling and repurposing materials. We are intentional about demolition, carefully disassembling homes to salvage and recycle as much building material as possible. From cardboard and metal to wood and plumbing fixtures, we work with local organizations like Bud's Warehouse and ReStore to ensure these materials find new life in future construction projects.
Donating to Local Schools
In addition to recycling and repurposing, we are committed to giving back to our community. That's why we donate materials to local schools like Stanley British Primary School, where students can put them to creative use. Whether it is building a mini golf course out of salvaged wood or using recycled plumbing fixtures for art projects, we believe in supporting education and sustainability in equal measure.
Passive House Certification
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, Forest St Builders is proud to be Passive House Certified. This certification signifies that our homes meet rigorous standards for energy efficiency and comfort, ensuring that our clients enjoy optimal living conditions while minimizing their environmental impact. By adhering to the five key principles of Passive House design, including airtightness, thermal insulation, and ventilation with heat recovery, we are able to offer homes that are not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective to operate.
At Forest St Builders, sustainability is not just a goal; it is a reflection of our intentionality in everything we do. If you are ready to start your custom home build with a team that keeps intentionality at its core, we are here to help.
