Steps to Certification

To demonstrate that a housing project is truly sustainable, independent, third-party verification is essential. That's why we specialize in providing certification through both the EarthCraft Multifamily and Home Innovation's National Green Building Standards, ensuring that your project meets the highest standards of sustainability and energy efficiency.

Our green building certification process consists of several phases that ensure your project meets the highest standards of sustainability and energy efficiency.

• Design Review: During this phase, we will gather plans, specifications, and the projected EarthCraft Multifamily worksheet. Afterward, we will meet with the Owner and design team to ensure that the project will meet the goals and requirements for certification.

• Construction Kickoff: Once the first building or section is completely framed, we will meet with the owner, general contractor, and major subcontractors to review the EarthCraft requirements for each construction team involved. This is another review opportunity to ensure that the construction teams understand and are prepared to meet the goals and requirements for certification.

• Verification & Inspections: We will inspect the work before drywall is installed to ensure that all standards have been met or exceeded. Finally, we will complete a final inspection that includes diagnostic testing to ensure that all energy efficiency and sustainability goals have been met.

• Education: Throughout the process, we take the time to work with you, your contractor, and your subcontractors to ensure that everyone has an understanding of how to cost-effectively build energy-efficient apartment homes.

• Certification: After the final testing and inspections, we will complete all certification paperwork and documentation for submission to the EarthCraft Certification Team. After review, the team will return the final certificate that we will present to you.
