GREEN BUILDING

OUR COMMITMENT

The Homestead Collective recognizes the dire state of the environment and our role in it. While we recognize that the problem is global, we also understand that solutions are always local. In 2024, 11% of global CO2 emissions come from the building and materials industry, and we find to be an abomination. It's the shared and individual responsibility of every member of our company to proactively be stewards of the bountiful nature we have here in Colorado. We pledge to do everything we can to reduce our collective footprint, build a more sustainable future, and help people live harmoniously within the balance of nature. 
Every build is different, but we always work with our clients to achieve the highest climate and efficiency standards. Our goal is to build homes that sit at the center of beauty and sustainability. Our process is to start by listening: to our clients, to our partners, to the experts, to nature. We believe that collaboration is the most effective process to not only create art, but to serve nature.

BUILDING IN colorado

Building in Colorado can be complicated. No matter if it’s a new build, renovation or addition it takes a partner who understands the codes to ensure that your project not only passes inspection but comes in on time and on budget. Not only have we been through BuildSmart trainings and seminars, it’s part of our process to make sure clients know what needs to be done, meet regulations and comply with codes.
