• Design Review: This phase includes gathering of plans, specifications, and the projected EarthCraft Multifamily worksheet. Then, we meet with the Owner and design team to assure the project is ready meet the goals and requirements for the certification.

• Construction Kickoff: When the first building or section is completely framed, we 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 assure 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 assure that all standards have been met or exceeded. Finally, we complete a final inspection that includes diagnostic testing to assure 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 assure everyone has an understanding of how to cost effectively build energy efficient apartment homes.
