BCBE Construction LLC practices many “Green” building initiatives when building or remodeling a customer’s home in Southwest Florida. We are committed to protecting South Florida’s beautiful communities by using environmentally safe building practices and materials.

We provide our customers with a concise and value-added framework for implementing green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance.
Energy Efficiency
BCBE Construction LLC can help with all of your energy efficiency needs. Some of the ways BCBE can help you become more energy efficient in your home includes:
- Installation of energy efficient appliances such as high-efficiency air conditioning equipment with programmable thermostats, pools with high efficiency pool pumps, etc.
- Installation of impact glass in windows.
- Non-vented attics with insulation applied directly to the underside of the roof.
- Solar Panels
- Green Roofs
- Water Systems
Water Conservation
BCBE Construction LLC uses native, drought-tolerant plantings for landscaping thus reducing the amount of water needed for irrigation. We can also use the solar energy to heat the floors in your home.
Indoor Air Quality
Through the installation of high-efficiency air conditioning equipment, separate dehumidification equipment and sealed attics, BCBE Construction LLC can help reduce humidity in your home as well as provide fresher air to breathe while diluting indoor air pollutants such as household chemicals and cleaning products.
Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a high performance insulation and air barrier system that works to minimize the intrusion of outdoor pollen, allergens, and pollution from entering the home. This system seals the home, which controls moisture transfer through the building envelope and increases the energy efficiency of the home. BCBE uses this type of insulation in almost every home we build.
Durability of your Home
BCBE Construction LLC uses high impact windows that withstand all current windload requirements. If a window is struck by debris, it may break, but it will not shatter.
BCBE constructs homes with concrete and concrete block for all exterior walls, arches, columns and balconies because concrete requires minimal maintenance and cannot be damaged by water thus it does not promote mold growth.
