NEW GREEN CONSTRUCTION      

Blue Brick's New Green Construction means a beautiful, sustainable building
custom built for you in the area of your choice.


We will meet with you to discuss your needs, find you a lot in the neighborhood of
your choice & custom build your new green home. Drawings for your custom home will be created by our green architect to suit your needs or you can bring your drawings to us.


Based on individual budget needs, homes can be constructed using:

STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS. A SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) is EPS (Expanded Polystyrene rigid foam insulation) sandwiched between 2 sheets of OSB (Oriented Strand Board).

ICF CONSTRUCTION. An ICF is an Insulated Concrete Form. In this configuration, instead of standard concrete forms used to pour a standard foundation, the exterior walls of the home are comprised of poured concrete between two insulated foam boards.

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION. In modular construction, the entire building is constructed off site and is delivered to the lot and set onto the foundation in sections.

PANELIZED WALL FRAMING SYSTEM. With a panelized wall framing system, each wall is built off-site in certain lengths, delivered to the job site and pieced together onto a pre-installed sub-floor system.

STICK FRAMED HOME. Known as "conventional framing", in this process, the lumber is delivered to the job-site and the home is assembled from the ground up.

*Each of these techniques has advantages. The theory behind green building is to create as little construction waste as possible and to seal the building's "envelope" creating an air-tight structure. With proper management, this can be accomplished using any of the techniques listed above.
