Building a new home is a challenge unlike any other. You want to
be certain that the home you are creating provides the best
environment possible for your family to live and grow in. We
build homes that offer safe and healthy spaces for our customers
and their families to enjoy, and caring for the environment is
an important part of how Hobbs, Incorporated approaches this
challenge. We encourage our clients to take a holistic approach
when considering the multitude of elements that go into their
new or renovated home. Adopting this “whole house” approach
allows each project to optimize the health, comfort and safety
of the home while minimizing its impact on the environment.
Implementing this strategy is the responsibility of the
Environmental Construction Division. This team includes project
management and field supervisory professionals trained in the
LEED for Homes™ program and accredited through the US Green
Building Council. Each project managed by the Environmental
Construction Division begins with the creation of a
consensus-based team. We bring together all the stake holders in
the project, including the owner, architect, designer, engineer
and other professional team members. Each project is assessed
individually, and specific goals are set taking into account the
potential environmental impact of numerous areas of the project.
To help meet the team’s goals on each project, we consider the
appropriateness of such forward-thinking technologies as
geothermal heating, solar electric production, recycled
materials, high-efficiency insulation, sustainable design
strategies, non-toxic products and construction waste management
plans. Through our use of this comprehensive approach, our
Environmental Construction division is able to create a
project-specific approach as unique as the home itself.
