What our Clients Say

“In partnership with Viridiant, SupportWorks Housing was able to design and construct Cool Lane Commons to meet EarthCraft Gold and Housing Innovations in Energy Efficiency standards, prioritizing both sustainable design methods and the long-term health of the property and its residents.”

“We worked with an EarthCraft builder to build our custom 3,200-square-foot home in Chesterfield County. The building cost was about 5 to 10 percent over current code construction. But our entire energy bill for the first year was approximately $1,000—much lower than we had expected. Our home is very solid, quiet, comfortable, and conventional appearing. We’re pleased that we helped conserve dwindling natural resources while lowering our utility bills.”

“In our family, allergies are just part of the DNA. In our new EarthCraft home, allergies are reduced substantially. Dust bunnies don’t take up residence and mold doesn’t have a chance in a home with clean, filtered air.”
