Sustainable Building
All MKB homes are constructed with an uncompromising commitment to quality in every aspect of the building process—from home design and site preparation through material selection, installation and post-construction client support. This unwavering attention to detail ensures that every home is constructed to last while preserving the natural beauty of Westen North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.
Our superior construction techniques and use of durable materials naturally minimize energy loss. We can help homeowners further reduce environmental impacts by incorporating a variety of high quality, sustainable building materials.
Sustainable building materials include locally sourced lumber and stone and reclaimed/salvaged lumber and architectural features such as windows and doors.
Other high-quality sustainable choices include renewable wood products such as cork, bamboo and responsibly forested or engineered lumber. Engineered stone and surface-quarried stone such as quartz or soapstone are sustainable alternatives to deep-quarried stone such as granite or marble.
Wall systems such as SIPs, ICFs, and pre-cast concrete or AAC walls have become popular alternatives to stick framing because of their durability and excellent insulating properties.
