Infographic :: Structural Green Features to look for in your new home

Infographic :: Structural Green Features to look for in your new home

At Homes by Dickerson we are always looking for ways to highlight our high peformance green features that we build into all of our new homes.  We will be rolling out a series of infographics that are easy to read and understand. You may not think about whats behind the walls of your home, but you should.  Here are some easy structural items to look for in your new home in Raleigh and the Triangle.

Structural Display 20x36

Since 2009, Homes by Dickerson has built all of our homes certified to Energy Star and the National Green Building Standard.  We have a commitment and belief that a high performance green home is not only built better, but offers its owners piece of mind, is more comfortable, healthier and offers a better value.  Homes by Dickerson continues to improve the HERS Rating Index on our homes each year.  In 2013, our HERS Index averaged 59 and is trending close to 55 in 2014.  We continue to drive this number lower.  In fact, we just had a home in Heritage Wake Forest certify with a HERS Index of 50, meaning this home is operating 50% more efficiently than a home built to today’s standard building code. And exponentially more efficient than a used home.  We will continue to improve and build our homes even more efficient and working for you! This is another strong reason to chose a new home vs. used home.

Homes by Dickerson is currently building in 8 communities across the Triangle.  To view our available move-in ready homes, click here.  If you are interested in learning more about our high performance green features or thinking of building your new home, contact info@homesbydickerson.com or call 919.454.8173.

Thank you to everyone who came and attended our Barton’s Grove Grand Opening Luncheon! Barton’s Grove is Homes by Dickerson’s newest community in North Raleigh offering new high performance green homes on 2 acre wooded home sites starting from the $650’s!

BG River Forest

It was a beautiful summer day for guests to walk the community and take in the street scape and notice the exterior details and elements on the homes.  Hardscape stonewall and lantern details greet each driveway welcoming you home.  Homes are tucked into the trees on each home site to create privacy and a relaxing retreat.

Today we stopped by our Haywood development that is underway to get a progress report.  We are anxiously awaiting getting started on this new Homes by Dickerson community in North Raleigh featuring estate homes from the $650s.  Often with development work things take longer than you would hope, but you want to get it right.  As the ground continues to be sculpted into streets and home sites, at one point there were 16 dump trucks lined up to haul away dirt that had been excavated.  It was quite an impressive site to see.   Three cheers for moving those dump trucks and hauling that dirt out of there! That gets us closer being able to move forward!
