If you’re still in business as a builder and are reading this now, you’ve probably done everything you could to position your company to be ready as the market improves. You’ve cut back on staff, reduced land holdings, slashed inventory and eliminated costs across the board. What could possibly hold you back? Well, for too many builders, the weak link is software.

At its most basic, the movement towards green construction and towards “green” products and lifestyle in general, is all about the conservation of resources. The ideas of sustainability, efficiency, ecological impact and low carbon footprint are changing virtually every aspect of residential construction. The design of communities, homes and landscaping has been altered dramatically over the last 5 years based on green building concepts. And of course, construction products that can offer sustainability and resource efficiency are in increasingly greater demand. What’s disappointing about this movement is the as-yet unrealized prospect of reduced costs and increased profits for the builder and developer. Theoretically, sustainable design, construction and product selection should result in lower costs based on reduced energy consumption and arguably lower maintenance requirements. In practice, many of the cost returns for green construction remain intangible and accrue to the long-term end-user of the product far more than to the builder or developer.
