Construction Material Recycling
During the construction phase of your new home or remodeling project, it is a good idea to have 2 large trash bins erected. One of the bins will be for trash items, while the other is for materials that can be re-used. Before the project begins, discuss with your builder that you intend on re-using or recycling materials to either go back into your project, to Habitat for Humanity or other job sites. Recycling materials helps keep the cost of your building materials down, provides usable materials for others and reduces the cost of waste removal and dumping fees. Hiring a builder that believes in this philosophy will help your cause tremendously.

CDS's Green Building Philosophy

The fundamentals of building a "green" house begin with a design that works for Central Texas. Orienting your house properly on its site, specifying green materials and products for the foundation, framing, insulation, roofing, siding and interiors and choosing the right mechanical system makes all the difference. With these implemented we can build an affordable sustainable long lasting home.
