Verified Green can consult with you by the hour or with a retainer arrangement to help answer questions as they arise during planning, design, and construction.
Verified Green is well versed in the content and mechanics of many Green building programs. We work behind the scenes allowing you to confidently offer Green design and construction services to your clients.
From early design through pre-construction plan review, we can help assess and recommend Green strategies for a new construction or remodeling project for successful certification through the following programs: LEED for Homes, Green Built Home, MN Green Remodeling Program, and MN Green New Homes Program.
We offer general Green building education to help facilitate the understanding of Green strategies and the importance of compliance by all parties involved in a project. This general knowledge is important for securing the buy-in by all of the parties that will interact with your buyers and homeowners including administrative and design support staff and sales personnel. Verified Green can also provide general Green building education to government personnel on your behalf to facilitate an understanding of the benefits of Green to communities.
Training starts with a review of what your team already knows, your company culture, and the systems you employ. We will guide you through the many systems, materials, and performance testing involved in Green design and construction. We will teach you how to incorporate Green strategies into your current building style and how to adapt Green into your company culture. It is highly advised that your subcontractors and industry partners are included in training so that systems and products are specified and installed correctly. Additional training and updates can be developed based on your company's need over time.
Companies who have gone through training may choose to access the Verified Green Partner Program and logo to help demonstrate their commitment to environmental leadership more clearly to the general public and their clients.
