BEST PRACTICES FOR HANDLING CUSTOMER WARRANTY If you are a home builder you will have warranty work associated with the new homes you build. It doesn’t matter how long you build, how good your subcontractors are, or how hard you try, invariably there will be minor repairs, touch up, adjustments, and just flat out thingsthat break.
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE HOME The major industry association for contractors is the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA). Based on their recommendations and my experience, I have compiled a list of 10 tips for homeowners to consider when building their home:THERMAL BRIDGING
What is Thermal Bridging and how does it affect insulation and performance? Thermal Bridging is a fundamental of heat transfer where the actual insulation is interrupted by material that is non-insulating and highly conductive, in this case that material is the lumber used in the wall framing. STEEL WINDOWS & DOORS The look of steel windows and doors is very unique. The aesthetic virtues achieved by use of steel cannot be duplicated in aluminum, wood or vinyl alternatives. RECYCLING AN ENTIRE HOUSE Construction waste, much of it from demolished buildings, takes up an enormous amount of landfill space. In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that U.S. building sites contributed 170,000,000 tons of waste to landfills. TANKLESS WATER HEATERS VS. CONVENTIONAL WATER HEATERS Gas-fired tankless water heaters, on the other hand, require much larger burners. A typical whole-house model will have a burner producing as much as 180,000 Btu/hour; the largest tankless water heaters have burners over 300,000 Btu/hour. ALLAN EDWARDS BUILDER INC: MOISTURE CONTROL & PERM RATINGS Housewraps like Tyvek, placed behind brick or stucco, are a second layer of defense against wind driven rain. Also known as WRB (weather resistant barriers), they keep bulk water out of the house and they stop hot and cold air movement through the wall cavity. BUILDING CONTRACTS: FIXED PRICE OR COST PLUS? When building a custom home, the type of contract used is a big decision for both the client and builder. In general, there are two types of contracts: Fixed Price or Cost Plus.

ENERGY CODES: PRESCRIPTIVE VS. PERFORMANCE Alternately a performance code is an outcome based compliance method that requires a home to perform to a certain standard, e.g. uses less energy than the same building built to prescriptive code.

All About Makeup Air Best Practices for Handling Customer Warranty How Builders Should Handle Customer Service & Warranty If you are a home builder you will have warranty work associated with the new homes you build.Solar Panels
Understanding Vapor Barriers The function of a vapor barrier in a wall assembly is to retard the migration of water vapor. Where it is located in the wall and its permeability is a function of climate, the characteristics of the materials that comprise the assembly and the interior conditions.Thermal Bridging
When building a new home most people want their house to be well-insulated and expect their builder to use the best materials and techniques to achieve maximum energy efficiency. There are several options with regard to the type of insulation that can be used in walls, ceilings, and roofs. Does a House Breathe? We attempt to build our homes “tight” because we don’t want interior conditioned air leaking to the outside or hot-humid air from the outside leaking to the inside. As a result, some say that a house or the exterior walls of a house “breathe” and that you should not seal up your house too tight. Energy Codes: Prescriptive vs. Performance Today’s energy codes for builders provide minimum requirements that result in lowering energy usage and costs. Many municipalities offer two methods for compliance with Energy Codes: Prescriptive orPerformance.
Reduce Air Leakage
Building new homes that are tight and minimize air leakage should be a goal for every builder. This is important not only from an energy use standpoint, but also for moisture control. Moisture Control & Perm Ratings Housewraps like Tyvek, placed behind brick or stucco, are a second layer of defense against wind driven rain. Also known as WRB (weather resistant barriers), they keep bulk water out of the house and they stop hot and cold air movement through the wall cavity. When to Hire a Builder Since 1974 I have observed hundreds of clients planning, designing, and building custom homes. From these many experiences I have tried to examine what approach yields the best results for clients and produces a satisfying building experience. Tankless Water Heaters vs. Conventional Water HeatersAir Barriers
According to Energy Star, sealing the building envelope is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the energy efficiency of a new home. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that up to 40% of the cost of heating and cooling a home is wasted by uncontrolled air leakage. What is Building Science? Building Science is the construction related discipline which studies several areas including energy efficiency, proper heating and air conditioning, ventilation, and humidity and control in the buildingenvelope.
How to Select a Builder First, you select your builder based on what you want to build. If you want a really cheap home, find a really cheap builder. If you want an energy efficient home, find a builder that builds energy efficienthomes.
“Build Tight, Ventilate Right” The title explains it all, and is the favorite mantra of well respected Building Science expert Joe Lstiburek. However, it is easier said than done and very few homes are really “built tight and ventilated right”. Whole House Generators Generators are becoming very popular on new homes in the Houston area because of the potential loss of power during storms, particularly during hurricane season. Many homeowners were without power for several weeks during Hurricane Ike in late 2008. Building Contracts: Fixed Price or Cost Plus? When building a custom home, the type of contract used is a big decision for both the client and builder. In general, there are two types of contracts: Fixed Price or Cost Plus. With a Fixed Price contract, the client knows their financialexposure.
Technology for the Home Structured wiring for music, data, TV’s, computers, phones, faxes, lighting control, cameras, and security has made tremendous advances in the last 10 years. Most builders now routinely include some type of basic wiring in their homes. What Is “Xeriscape” Xeriscape is a natural approach to landscaping that conserves water. The word xeriscape comes from the word xeros (Greek for "dry") andlandscape.
Energy Star Homes
An Energy Star qualified home is a new home which uses at least 15% less energy than standard homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC). New homes built under the Energy Star program must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency.Radiant Barriers
Do radiant barriers work? Short answer, yes they do work. First, tests by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) and other groups show that they work. Second, manufacturers are improving the quality of radiant barrier materials. ASHRAE Standard 62.2 ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2007, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, is the national ventilation standard of design for all homes 62.2 allows exhaust, supply, or balanced ventilation, meaning that a simple exhaust fan or supply fan can be used, or these flows c Using Old Material in New Homes The use of reclaimed, antique materials can give a new house a special look. For years we have been using old-world fixtures, roof tile, doors, iron, pool coping, fixtures, cabinets, flooring, fireplaces, beams, iron elements, and much more. Was Your House Built Before 1978? On April 22, 2010, a new EPA rule goes into effect for homes builtbefore 1978.
Steel Windows & Doors The look of steel windows and doors is very unique. The aesthetic virtues achieved by use of steel cannot be duplicated in aluminum, wood or vinyl alternatives. Recycling an entire house — and saving money Construction waste, much of it from demolished buildings, takes up an enormous amount of landfill space. In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that U.S. building sites contributed 170,000,000 tons of waste to landfills.HVAC Systems Part 1

My company’s roots go back to the mid 1960’s when, as a young teenager I worked weekends and summers as a carpenter’s helper. I worked for 5 years framing houses and doing millwork, and became interested in becoming a home builder at a very young age. This passion for building homes led to the formation of my company in 1974, and that passion continues to this day.Trade Partners
