HOUSTON, TX — While green has already become the epicenter for new products and services alike, Frankel Building Group — full service custom home builders in Houston — is literally tapping into the sheer foundation for the changes to come within the building market for the next five to ten years.

“Houses have gotten so sophisticated and energy efficient. Features such as dual speed air conditioning units, high efficiency water heaters, and insulated attics are considered standard,” states custom home builder Scott Frankel.

Frankel Building Group is one of the most innovative green home builders in the greater Houston area. As Frankel Building Group actually builds by LEED guidelines (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) which is an internationally acknowledged certification program established by the U.S. Green Building Council that issues third party authentication of a building’s green design, construction and operation.

The number of people that just call themselves builders is going to be minimized,” states Frankel. “Your builder isn’t just a contractor with a pencil in his ear, he needs to be like your doctor or accountant, a professional. You are going to him for expertise so that you have a healthy, excellent home that is sustainable long term.”
