PCC should be your Central Oregon building contractor.
2010 is a great year to take on those small projects that have been on your list for years. Don't be shy about contacting us with questions or ideas concerning those changes in your home that can really make a difference.
We are more than willing to schedule in repairs and smaller "fix it" type jobs. Don't put off a simple task until it becomes a major one.
We are also available to assist you with a number of energy and performance upgrades including:
- Doors and Windows - Weatherization and Siding - Heating and Cooling - Adding Insulation - Solar Options - Indoor Air Quality
The unfortunate reality of today's building practices is that a majority of homes constructed are not that great. They are thrown together quickly, as cheap as possible and with a labor force that has a decreasing knowledge of their trade. Building codes are minimum requirements that don't hold a lot of weight. A home may look good to the untrained eye, but performance wise, there is a good chance it is a dud. Its energy use is possibly double what it could be and god only knows what you would breath every day inside the home.
Popp Construction Company LLC is one of the few builders in Central Oregon that is a Certified Sustainable Homes Professional. PCC has incorporated many environmentally friendly building concepts into our projects for years. This accreditation through Earth Advantage guarantees you that we truly walk the walk when it comes to sustainable building. There is no doubt we provide our customers with the background and knowledge to get the job done right. This means even more options to make any project a high performance machine and highly livable space.
The gain for the customer includes these options and more.
- Building designs optimizing passive solar potential. - Beyond code performance envelopes. - Increased insulation R values. - Upgrading heating and cooling systems for maximum efficiency. - Building materials and methods designed to conserve our natural resouces. - Fresh air ventilation systems designed for a higher standard of air quality. - Low VOC products used during building process. - Dedicated compact florescent light fixtures. - High efficiency windows and doors. - Low to no water use landscaping systems. - Options for solar hot water or power. - Certified performance testing guaranteed to save energy and increase comfort.
If you think building a performance home is "going to cost too much", or you are "just not into that green stuff," you might be surprised to know that there are a number of ways to offset and balance the costs. It is all a matter of having an open mind and a good design.
If you are interested in a third party certification program for your project, we are more than willing to work under a number of options including: Earth Advantage, Energy Trust of Oregon or LEED.
Building green(sustainability and performance) is going to become mainstream in the construction industry.
-Are you interested in lower power, gas and water bills? -Would you like to own a home that is more durable and healthier to live in? -Are you interested in building concepts that go well beyond the status quot construction techniques. -Are you willing to sacrifice a few of your old school, out dated needs and habits to contribute to a cleaner planet for the future generations?
You might be a little greener than you think!
This is not a concept that is out in left field. It makes complete sense for the future and the future has caught up with us quite rapidly. PCC has a program for you, so call us and let's discuss your future.
