In popular wording, it is SMART AND GREEN DESIGN FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES.

Why bother with Smart & Green Design?

Do you live or work in a place you are not happy to come back to? Do you suspect that a building where you spend a lot of time make you feel sick or depressed? Are you trying to spend as much time as possible away from a place you work or live and embarrassed to invite your friends or clients there? Do you think showing your building on Google Maps will hurt your business? Do you live in a place that it is hard for you to call your home? Are you tired of renting that ugly place and want to have a place of your own, so it could be just the way you like it? Do you want to flip houses because it is a fun way to make money?

If the answer to any one of those questions is YES, read on.

You home or your work place is your biggest investment of time, energy, and money. It is important to think it through. You know, it will not happen on its own. Besides, you are aware of popular saying: Fail to plan = plan to fail.

Many people have done it before you with various results. It is always easier to talk about successes than mistakes. Design, materials, real estate, and construction business advertising boost up their customers benefits and downplay risks. Risk analysis, however, is the most important step in any project. Do you remember the expression: Cover your assets?

What are your the most valuable assets in order of importance? As one of highly respected and very well paid attorney, we happened to work with, simply put it:

1. Your health

(Are you aware that a building can make you very ill? Sometime it could affect your well being right away, and sometime it could happen gradually.)

2. Your freedom

(Ignorance of the laws is dangerous. I did not know that I did not know... can lead you to a court room or even jail. Please respect the Laws of the Land you live on!)

3. Your money

(It is no-brainer that wasting money on not very well thought over improvements depletes your valuable resources, which could be invested wisely or saved for a rainy day.)

To make it simple for you to keep risks in check, we spell out 7 Smart & Green Principals of Building Design below:
