Harmonious Green Building

Green Building: Magic Bullet or Myth?

Green Building has become a very popular concept as people become more aware of the effect the building industry has on the environment. As this awareness grows, many misinterpretations and myths are forming, steering consumers from the true goal of Green Building.

Myth: Not everything that is promoted by builders is valuable for the environment, the quality of life of the family/owners, and is not a good investment.

Reality: There are many products and specific circumstances where green building products can promote a better of quality of life, contribute to the environment and provide a return on investment for the owner.

Spanjer Homes: A different Approach to Green Building

While many Builders claim they are leaders in Green Building, Spanjer Homes takes a different approach. When it comes to Green Building, Spanjer Homes’ goal is to strike a balance between our homeowners’ budgets and lifestyles and the guiding principles of Green Building. Spanjer Homes feels it is necessary to provide thorough and accurate information about the costs of the Green Building materials and systems, the impact they have on the environment, and how soon the homeowner can recapture their initial investments.

Thirty Years: Hands on, Green Build Experts

Spanjer Homes has experience with Green building due to the fact that we have been installing systems, using building materials and following standard procedures that conform to the Guiding Principles of Green Building since our establishment in 1978. Spanjer Homes has achieved the NAHB designation of “Certified Green Professional” (CGP). Three Team members from Spanjer Homes have completed the Green Building for Building Professionals Education course. We understand the importance of exploring new material and system implementation as new methods and materials become available. Spanjer Homes is committed to incorporating all aspects of building green, making continuous improvement a highly rated priority.

Our commitment:


Spanjer Homes’ goal is to become an authority in all aspects of the Green Building, enabling us to educate our homeowners, the real estate community, the Trade Contractors and all individuals related to the building industry. We strongly feel that providing all related parties with accurate information about Green Building aspects, both economic and environmental, will allow everyone to feel as though they are helping create harmony between the environment, the people, and the good of the future.
