About Us

Welcome to BuildGreenNM.com!


Our builders
are passionate and exceptionally talented, and are actively raising the bar for residential construction.  As more homes are built to our standards, we envision the NAHB guidelines facilitating an informed discussion between builder, appraiser, realtor, and homebuyer.  When all of the related professionals are involved in the conversation, we will be better able to help people make better choices and build better homes.
