Green Building
Are we GREEN?
Our homes are built in an environmentally controlled factory where we recycle 97% of our materials. This lessens the environmental impact on the land and in your community. In addition to our GREEN initiatives and construction methods CBS offers Green, Energy Efficient, Certified High Performance Build packages, click CBS-High-Performance-Build for more information.
