Building Green
Education, Collaboration and Innovation are three of Evans Coghill Home's core values. Our commitment to green building allows us to exemplify these values.
Evans Coghill isn't merely another "green builder", we have taken a leadership role in green home building in the Charlotte area. We have invested in education, certification and built a green model home last year. An ongoing educational program, Green Within Reach - Practical Green Building Ideas for Today, is taught to area real estate professionals on a regular basis.
A "certified green home" built by Evans Coghill Homes provides peace of mind that comes from a new home with increased energy efficiency and reduced impacts on the environment and your family's health. A certified green home incorporates environmental considerations into every phase of the home building process. In order to maximize the home's green value, third party inspections are conducted throughout the process.
Advantages to you:
- Lower utility cost
