What follows is an outline of our comprehensive commitment to you. Please read Our Request to learn more about the commitment we ask you to make. Sacred Oak Homes promises to provide:
Quality & Thoroughness
- We hire the most qualified individuals that your budget can afford. We will negotiate on your behalf with our craftspeople and suppliers to give you the best price possible while maintaining fair wages and profits.
- We stay up-to-date on innovative building science, continually educating ourselves so that we can inform you of the best choices for building methods, materials and codes.
- We maintain focus and integrity throughout the whole building process. This ranges from keeping a neat and tidy work space to using the best quality materials and labor.
Sustainability
WE SUPPORT THE ENVIRONMENT
We constantly look for innovative ways to respect and sustain our environment by:
- Locally sourcing our building materials to keep money in the community, reduce shipping and fuel costs, and lower pollution and waste.
- Offering Energy Star testing and certification of your home. This increases your building’s energy efficiency, reduces fuel costs, and makes you eligible for federal and local tax credits.
- Using environmentally sound building methods, including geo-thermal heat sources, solar voltaic power sources, and recycled and sustainably-produced products.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL CRAFTSMEN AND SUPPLIERS
We strive to work with suppliers and contractors within a 30-mile radius of your site as a way to support the community.
Collaboration and Communication
WE RESPECT YOU
Everyone has their own unique values, individual priorities, and personal communication styles. We take time and listen with an open mind to get to know you, your personality, and what’s important to you.
WE LISTEN
We want you to express your feelings openly and honestly. It’s natural for concerns or doubts to arise in any project, especially a project as large and personal as building your own home. We are open, receptive, patient, and respectful of your concerns and feelings and invite you to share them freely. In our discussions together, we set aside a comfortable amount of time so you can adequately express yourself.
WE OFFER EXPERT SOLUTIONS WITH HONESTY, HUMILITY, AND INTEGRITY
We offer you our expert advice and opinions so you can make informed decisions. If we don’t have direct experience with the item in question, we will take the time to research and consult experts before getting back to you. We will clearly communicate what these solutions look like, how much they will cost and how they will be implemented. We employ a variety of communication methods to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what we are envisioning for you, from cost estimates, hand-drawn sketches and CAD renderings to written descriptions, physical mock-ups and third-party websites.
