My advice for you is to contact Donald Ferrier and receive his professional recommendations. Why Donald Ferrier? Who is this man? How can he help?

Well, let me first introduce this man to you. Donald Ferrier is a CEO of Ferrier Custom Homes, a construction company, specializing in building energy efficient commercial and residential homes. The company also provides services in remodeling existing buildings. Donald Ferrier is a professional with the expertise in structural concrete. He is known for building the first energy efficient homes in North Texas in 1984. In addition to his earlier expertise in structural concrete, Donald Ferrier makes use of his knowledge in Structural Insulated Panel construction to deliver the best results to his clients by building sustainable and energy efficient homes.  

Based on the preferences and the financial situation of the client, Donald Ferrier will recommend the best alternative to satisfy the needs and wants of his client. At the same time, Donald Ferrier will consult his client about implementing the sustainable materials in to the building structure to achieve the benefits of the reduction in the energy and water use. Donald Ferrier will make sure that his client properly understands all possible benefits from installation solar panels, implementation of passive solar design and water conservation systems.

Donald Ferrier works with a wide range of customers but his main demographic segment is baby boomers. Baby boomers have special needs and wants. Most of them are retired or will retire soon. As baby boomers plan to spend most of their time at home, they want to enjoy the comfort and coziness of their new house’s design. At the same time, baby boomers, who are retired and have fixed incomes, seek opportunities to pay less for electricity and water. Donald Ferrier is ready to help them with his advice, and, if both parties agree on the terms of the contract, the construction of a new home starts.

One of the best examples of Donald Ferrier’s sustainable residential houses is a 2,028 square-foot Heather’s home.
 This house is built from the green materials and is energy efficient. The house is constructed in accordance with the passive solar design. To improve internal air quality, the structural insulated panels are installed in the walls and in the roof part of the house. The use of CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs helps to bring the cost of the electricity down. The floors of this particular house are covered with a natural material, which is bamboo. The walls are colored with non-volatile or low-volatile paint, which also enhances the quality of the indoor air. For the purpose of efficiency in water usage, low-flow showers and faucets are integrated as a part of the house structure. To add more to it, the driveways and walkways are composed of pervious concrete. The major benefit of pervious concrete is its ability to allow water to stream into the ground and, thus, to escape the unnecessary and bad consequences of storm water runoff.  

If you are interested in building energy-efficient home and you also want to contribute to the wellbeing of the environment, don’t hesitate to contact Donald Ferrier and ask for his advice.
