What does your home say about you? At Brock Built City Neighborhoods, our homes say we care.

Majority of all NEW Brock Built homes receive EarthCraft certification -- so homeowners can trust that their homes will out perform others in terms of environmental friendliness and energy efficiency.  

The EarthCraft House program is a voluntary green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthy, comfortable homes that reduce utility bills and protect the environment. An EarthCraft home is one that was constructed in a manner that protects the earth by reducing energy use through pre-determined construction systems such as extensive air sealing measures, resource efficient design and building materials, indoor air quality and moisture controls, installation of energy-saving equipment and improved waste management practices.

EarthCraft homes are….

• Thoroughly inspected and tested (for factors such as air leakage and carbon monoxide safety) before the homeowner moves in.
• Proven to help save energy and water and conserve natural resources, the practices behind the EarthCraft certification began more than three decades ago.
• More affordable; lowering energy costs by up to 30% and lowering maintenance and repair costs and even doctor’s bills for health problems related to poor indoor air quality.
• A better investment; EarthCraft homes are healthier for your family, are more enduring and protect the environment.
