Green Building

Toward a Sustainable Montana

Interest in sustainable, green building practices is certainly greater than ever, especially here in Western Montana. Whether you’re concerned about allergies, energy costs, old-growth forest, air quality, durability or long-term value, homeowners and builders are looking for ways to ensure their homes are healthy, safe, and efficient.

“Green” building takes into account the building materials, site selection, water use, energy, and indoor air quality of a building project from the start to finish.

Cornerstone is a strong supporter of green building and offers our clients a number of different green opportunities including window packages with different insulation and solar reflective values, insulation material options, energy efficient appliances and fixtures, environmentally friendly paints/stains, and green building materials such as recycled woods that promote a “healthy” environmentally sensitive home.

To stay abreast of the latest opportunities to employ green building technology, Cornerstone is a member of the following trade organizations. Click on the links below for more information:

“We chose Cornerstone for it’s outstanding reputation, but it wasn’t until Dennis built our home that we realized just how good he was. The special touches and beautiful craftsmanship are evident, and envied. After nine years, strangers still knock on the door to ask who built it. Talk about pride of ownership!”
