That is what I tell clients. If you hire Jovick Construction to build a new home, that home will be LEED certified. No ifs ands or buts. That is what we do. A Jovick built home is held to a higher standard to insure you are getting maximum energy and water efficiency, durability, value and comfort. All done in a sustainable manner for the cherry on top.
Since we started and finished our first LEED certified home in 2009, we have never looked back. We only look forward to our next LEED project. Building to this standard produces a better home, and that reason alone is enough for us keep certifying our projects LEED.
