Building a Healthy Home Doesn't Need To Be Difficult

Building a Healthy Home Doesn't Need To Be Difficult

Author: Andrew Pace October 1, 2024 Duration: 54:55

Every single day, I get calls and emails asking if I have a recommendation for a home builder in their area that can build healthy.  Unfortunately, I dont have such a list to refer to.  I certainly have many builders around the country that Ive worked with and do trust, but the building industry as a whole is not keeping up with the demands consumers have.  So my typical recommendation is to identify a few high quality custom home builders in their area and start to interview them.  Any good builder can do a healthy home, if they take the time to find a good healthy home consultant, ask the right questions, and ALWAYS have the home owners best intentions in mind for every decision they make.  Its not rocket science...its common sense.  

As one such healthy home consultant, I can tell you that consumer demand for healthy homes is exploding and finding another in my space that I feel 100% confident in refering folks to has been amazing.  Christine Cimabue is a licenced general contractor, holistic construction consultant and the creator of the massively popular Holistic Homes podcast and social accounts.   She was so kind to have me on an Instagram Live event a while back and I knew then she would be a hit with my listeners.  On today's show, Christine and I talk about the building process, how to enlist the right team and even spend some time discussing the legal ramifications of not embracing healthy building practices.
