Reading the article in the 2007 volume 4 issue on retrofitting your home the author makes comment on how the green building movement has not made a substantial impact on the improvement of consumption of energy in buildings.

I want to point out the these Green programs have significantly improved the new residential construction practices in our nation.

I received an email this week from National Association of Home Builders Public Affairs staff asking for input with respect to consumer protection strategies. They asked for my thoughts about what potential home-buyers can do protect themselves if good, reputable builders unexpectedly run into financial problems and cannot complete a job. For example: what kinds of questions should a potential client ask? What third party sources exist that can offer object evaluations of a builders financial stability? So, I thought I would share my reply with my BuildingCredibility.com blog readers.

A person has to be willing to venture into self discovery in order to make the investment worthy of their tastes and expectations. Here is the first step in the right direction.
