Are you brave enough? Innovation in homebuilding is full of challenges and requires a level of “grit” to rise above the sea of the daily grind. But in the end, it’s always worth it, resulting in changes that improve performance, increase productivity, and a host of other benefits. Who do you know that is brave enough to embrace it and lead the way into the future of homebuilding?  #innovation #homebuilding #change https://lnkd.in/emcqvzrZ

“Embodied” and “operational” carbon emissions from buildings (including our homes!) account for more than 1/3 of the carbon released in the United States annually. It’s time for change. Check out this week’s blog and share your thoughts on how we can work together to achieve increasing levels of efficiency and performance in the way we design, build, and operate our homes. #carbon #efficiency #sustainability https://lnkd.in/dGxZWzwB

ESG is quickly becoming a game changer in this industry.

Do the trades know how much we appreciate them? Taking an empty lot to a finished home is no small undertaking, and without our trades, this simply wouldn’t happen. Make sure that your jobsites are ones that the trades WANT to go to every day, and that you have a positive, open rapport with the men and women who build your homes.  #trades #safety #homebuilding #quality https://lnkd.in/db7tyF8b 

Where’s your hard hat? Why is it so difficult on jobsites today to get trades and site visitors (such as inspectors!) to wear a hardhat? Signs are everywhere, fines are imposed, and OSHA requires it. So why is this most basic safety precaution so often ignored? Check out this week’s blog post on the matter and weigh in.  #safety #jobsite #quality #homebuilding https://lnkd.in/eeXeAFYH
