 Brent Davis Construction, Inc., as a corporation has been moved by its core employees to pursue business practices that ensure the well being of our Planet as well as our Economic interests. We know that a truly green company is one that follows correct practices whether customers ask for them or not.
As building trends evolve and demand for "greener" products has increased, we have witnessed a subsequent increase in definitions of green building itself. Many standards defining green building have been developed by manufacturers and Industry front groups promoting their own self interests. As a rule we have adopted our own definition of green building outlined by the Building Science Corporation:
"The effects of building development on the environment are at the most basic about durability. Building a house or a community is really about the durability of people (the health, safety, and well being of people), the durability of buildings (the useful service life of a building is typically limited by its durability), and the durability of the planet (the well being of the environment). Durability is another way of expressing the concept of sustainability to the building community".
Simply stated, the roots of sustainability do not come in pretty, shrink wrapped packages, and they dont have labels touting their virtues either. They are often plain and out of sight...
