Stanton Homes offers information on Energy Star certification, rainwater collection, and geothermal systems - and teaches homebuyers how to build a home that costs less and uses less energy. 

Triangle home builder Stanton Homes is hosting a special "Meet the Builder" event.

Sunday September 21st

12-4pm

Custom home builder and licensed general contractor Stan Williams will be on site to answer questions on the latest energy and water saving technology, and how these features can be integrated into a new home.

Homebuyers are encouraged to attend no matter where they are in the process: whether they are planning ahead for a retirement home, just starting to think about purchasing a new home, or have already decided on a floor plan, a location, or both.    

"You can never ask too many questions, and there is no ‘dumb' question," said Williams.  "We believe that the more a homebuyer knows, the better their decisions will be, the more money they will save when purchasing a new home - and the happier they'll be with that home."

If a homebuyer has chosen a home plan, or even narrowed down their choices to several plans from an online catalog or guide, Williams and his team will go over the possibilities and features of each, including giving recommendations on how to save on building costs. 

"Saving money goes along with saving water and energy," said Williams.  "Sometimes there are simple changes that can make a big difference.  We're happy to point out the types of features that you might not realize add a lot of cost - and how to get the same or a similar effect for less." 

The Stanton Homes team will also go over the details of how to save water and energy when buying a new home.  

Saving Water in the Raleigh Area:  Rainwater Collection

Rainwater collection systems, while immensely popular in areas like Hawaii that don't have good freshwater sources, are beginning to gain ground in other areas as water resources have more demand placed on them.   There are a variety of systems available, and Stanton Homes will go over what makes each effective - and what the cost differences are. 

Saving Energy: Energy Star Certified New Homes

Stanton Homes will present information on what it is that helps an Energy Star home save 15-20% in energy costs over a home built according to standard building code, and what kind of price tag Energy Star certification has attached to it.  

Saving Money and the Environment: Better Heating and Cooling

Better building methods and a tighter home means energy savings - which means that monthly gas or electric bill is quite a bit lower.  In addition, Stanton Homes will offer information on other energy saving and green building initiatives, like geothermal systems for heating and cooling. 

What Should I Do?


          Bring your floor plan, blueprints and ideas.

Bring a copy of the floor plan you're considering (even from a website, which usually offer "print" options.) Stanton Homes recommends that you not purchase the full set of blueprints until you are sure the plan will work for your needs and the land that you plan to build on.

        Bring a copy of your plot map, and any neighborhood restrictions.

Or email your plan to Stanton Homes at least 4 days in advance to info@StantonHomes.com, and a Stanton Homes representative will go over an initial estimate with you at the event.

If you're considering building a home in the Raleigh area, Stanton Homes will follow up with a free initial building cost estimate, building on your lot or ours.

"You may have seen us on the NBC17 evening news segments recently, in stories about our exceptional military program or our work with rainwater collection systems," said Williams. "Stanton Homes is your local custom home builder who wants to make a difference in the community. This Meet-the-Builder event is one more way that we stay in touch with people, build relationships, and make ourselves available for questions about the things we're proud to be associated with - great building concepts and great people."
