Asheville Modular Builder Explains FSC Wood
The Forest Stewardship Council was created to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. This impressive goal has in many ways been achieved, yet there is more work to be done. FSC sets forth principles, criteria, and standards that span economic, social, and environmental concerns. The FSC standards represent the world’s strongest system for guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes. Like the forestry profession itself, the FSC system includes stakeholders with a diverse array of perspectives on what represents a well-managed and sustainable forest. While the discussion continues, the FSC standards for forest management have now been applied in over 57 countries around the world. Advantage Development Co. is a certified green custom home builder in Asheville NC and always strives to only use FSC certified wood in the fine homes we build.

Asheville has plenty of Infill Land available for New Homes
Asheville does not have any shortage of prime infill land suitable for narrow, 2 story, green built modular housing. Infill development is a key to green building since we are utilizing existing developed land for new green homes rather than developing raw land in the area. Infill also takes advantage of urban systems already in place in neighborhoods like shopping, banking, work, church, social events, etc. such that a persons travel is minimized thus making it less carbon positive on our environment. Advantage Development Co. is a NAHB certified green professional and green modular builder that is also a real estate broker in tune with infill properties and ready to construct that new infill home in many already available parts of this great city. Visit us today at www.AdvDevCo.com or call us at (828)-215-9064 for a free meeting to review current available homes and projects.
