Leaders in green building
Steve has been at the forefront of the green building transformation since its inception in the state of Texas. Under Steve’s leadership, MHI Homebuilders became the first production homebuilder in the country to achieve LEEDs certified status on every home built in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. This dedication to green building is evident now at Hayes Builders, where we take a "Whole Home Approach" by building beautiful homes that use energy wisely, reduce your home's eco footprint, minimize water consumption and help you breathe easier.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Saves the earth, saveS you money
Building green sustainable homes requires energy reduction measures that use and increase the efficiency of the building envelope – which adds up to savings on your utility bills. Hayes Builders’ homes focus on energy efficiency from the ground up - Nest thermostats, efficient appliances and lighting, and environmentally-friendly materials are used at every stage of the process. We have the ability to build your home to LEED for Homes standards and certification. Our strong vendor relationships also mean that being green down the road doesn't hurt your wallet now - our collaborative approach means we are on the same team throughout the entire process.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN...
Our mission is to seek out eco-friendly products and materials whenever possible to help reduce your home’s carbon footprint. We use engineered wood products and advanced framing techniques to reduce the amount of material going to landfills by controlling construction waste and lowering waste water production.
WATER WISE
mindful consumption for our community
In Central Texas, water conservation is king, and reducing water consumption and protecting water quality are primary objectives of any Hayes Builders home. Our secret: We use native, drought resistant plants to conserve water and increase overall curb appeal. We also help reduce your water usage by installing efficient fixtures and appliances that are designed with conservation in mind.
SEALING THE HOME
keeping you safe and efficient
A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility and maintenance. Sealing holes and cracks in the home’s envelope and in heating and cooling duct systems not only helps to improve energy efficiency, it also helps reduce drafts, moisture, dust and pollen. We use only low VOC paints that reduce pollutants and increase air quality and work with you and your budget to optimize throughout.
