DutchBuilt believes a great home positively affects the people who live in it. We build with a deep understanding of how spaces will be used, designing them to be comfortable and flexible. And while our primary goal is building high quality homes, DutchBuilt is equally concerned with environmentally friendly building practices. By following Built Green principles, LEED guidelines, and Passive House principles, DutchBuilt homes are as friendly to the planet as they are to their owners. We make design and construction decisions based on materials and products that look the best and last the longest, that minimize a reliance on natural resources, that put water and energy conservation front and center. And it's all done with superior craftsmanship and inventive design.
