We provide an all-inclusive approach to the development of your building project, reviewing its architecture, engineering, systems and products. Using an in-depth professional brainstorming process, our experts bring their knowledge and experience to integrate the components of your design into a healthier, more energy-efficient, sustainable home. Our team and your team actively work together in a process that could save you thousands of dollars during construction and over the life of your home. This unique approach capitalizes on the experience of all participants, working together towards the common goals for your project, similar to what is known as an "ecocharrette" for large, commercial projects. Even experienced architects and builders are surprised at the efficacy of having the entire team in one room, coordinating the details of your home.
Customized Integrative Plan Review
The Meeting
In this whole-house design analysis, our team of professionals helps refine your plan for an energy-efficient, healthy, green home. Since building this way is unfamiliar to some contractors, we provide as much information as possible to help you navigate the process and keep your project goals on track. You get a focused and detailed group review that addresses your specific design. The meeting is held in our dedicated training room at the Leading Force Showroom at 17 North 3rd Street in Downtown Yakima.
