Home Construction and Renovation
 BPC has been committed to green building
ever since the company’s
inception, almost ten years ago. We build
and renovate high-performance green homes - period.
Our
projects
incorporate traditional
craftsmanship integrated with the latest
advances in residential building science
and green building strategies. BPC homes
are beautiful. However, BPC homes are also healthy,
comfortable,
durable, energy efficient,
and environmentally responsible.
We manage the entire construction process
with our clients’ visions
for their new or renovated homes in mind.
The services that we offer are comprehensive,
from
start to
finish. These services
include:
- Preliminary
design guidance – we
participate in meetings with the homeowner
and architect to determine
the basic program
elements for the green home. If the
goal is a near-net zero energy home,
then this
becomes a critical
planning step.
- Site assessment – we visit potential building sites to
help assess how well each site matches up to the client’s
program goals and to provide guidance
regarding site work considerations.
- Preliminary budget guidance – once
preliminary drawings are complete,
we prepare detailed cost
estimates to confirm
budget feasibility and to assist
with value engineering.
- Municipal approvals – we secure
the required building permits
as well as health
and zoning permits,
if they are
required.
- Subcontractor selections – we recommend
and help select from a small
group of highly qualified subcontractors
who are
experienced with our construction
strategies. The long-term relationships we have with
these contractors
help ensure
high quality work,
fair pricing, and favorable scheduling.
- Material selections – we help our
clients select from among
the many green options for
foundation, framing,
mechanical,
and finish materials.
- Construction management – we manage,
schedule, and supervise all subcontractor
labor, place all
materials orders,
schedule
deliveries, and perform all project accounting.
- Building inspections – we schedule
all inspections and ensure compliance,
leading to a
final certificate of
occupancy.
- Warranty repairs – we inspect each
home to ensure satisfaction
and to perform standard
warranty repairs.
We also cover performance-related
repairs under the terms of our
unique extended warranty.
