STOP what
you are doing a read every word of this letter. If you
are planning on building a new home it could very well be
the most important letter you ever
read.
Have you ever been to a website that
advertises "Energy Efficient" house
plans or "Green" house
plans?
Did you ever notice that they never mention how
YOU can save money on your utility bills? Or
better yet, GUARANTEE your utility
bills.
I want to point out something very
important. Energy efficient and
Green really aren't the same thing. People
interchange them all them time. Just because you use a
green product doesn't mean it's energy efficient. You can
have the greenest house in the world but
still have really high utility bills.
You see, there are hundreds of green
materials that are environmentally friendly but don't
save you one dime on your electric bills. I know the
products that are green AND energy efficient, such as
cellulose insulation. It's ground up, recycled newspaper.
It doesn't get any greener than that!
Geothermal heat pumps use solar energy (very green) stored in the
earth as a heat exchanger. They are 500% energy efficient,
which saves a ton of electricity. So don't go looking for
GREEN house plans. Let me design your home exactly
like you want it and then I'll teach you how to make it super
energy efficient AND green!
Is there anyone in all of America that will
design your home, teach you everything you need to know
to make it super-energy efficient at a reasonable costs,
and GUARANTEE, in writing, your average
heating and cooling costs? The answer is no.
Trust me. I've done my share of research on
the internet and I guarantee you WILL
NOT find anyone that knows more about
residential energy efficiency than I do. Are there people
out there that know more about recycled carpet, cork
flooring, or recycling rain water than I do? The answer
is yes and environmentally safe products are
VERY important. However, if you're like most
of my clients, you are on a budget and paying 3 times the
cost for a product is not an option. Even though it's
good, it's not an option.
I'm not going to tell you to jump on the
bandwagon and do what everyone else doing? I couldn't
sleep at night if I told you to spend $30,000 on
something that might save you $50 per month. That's a 50
year payback!
Do everything I
teach you on your new home and it might cost an extra $3000 on a
3000 sq ft home. That's less
than a 1% of the total! It's not rocket science and it's
nothing new. It's just knowing how to put it all together
and use construction techniques that really work. I'm not going
to recommend anything that has a payback of less than about 8
years. Some items could pay for themselves in the first
year.
Let me turn your
dream home into a super-energy efficient home with guaranteed
low utility bills. Call me at 501-317-9883 or email at

Sample Energy Efficient House
Plans
I have hundreds of plans on file but it
takes A LOT of time and programming to
get them suitable for the internet. To be honest, I would
have to hire someone full time to sort, convert the
plans, and do the programming to search them
all.
As a rule of thumb, most of my clients have
already looked at 100's of plans and just cannot find one
that fits their needs. However, they do have ideas or
sketches of what they really want in their
home.
This is where I come in. I can take any
drawings or notes you have, draw that up into a first
draft, and we will start making revisions from there.
Unlike other designers, I do not charge by the hour,
which is always unknown to you, or vary my prices
depending on how I feel that day or how much time I think
might be involved. This is always too open ended for the
client and can result in a huge shock at the final price
when all is said and done.
I
charge on a per square foot basis under roof. This includes all
revisions and drawings as outline in my design
agreement. No additional fees tacked on at the
end. You can easily keep track of
your square footage as know exactly what the final charges will
be.
Please keep in mind that the exterior of
your home is the second stage of the design process.
I help you get your floor plan designed like you
want it and then we can make the outside look like any
style you want.
