Colorado Green Building Companies

Aspen Homes of Colorado
Aspen Homes of Colorado is a locally owned and operated business, backed by more than a quarter century of experience in the homebuilding industry. At Aspen Homes we care about the community and the environment that we live in. Many of our dedicated employees raise their families in homes constructed by our company. Because we believe in contributing to the local economy, we maintain long-standing relationships with the best local subcontractors, and we purchase our materials from locally owned businesses. Our homes are attractive, durable, affordable and as environmentally friendly as possible. We not only meet, but strive to exceed, the current standards set by ENERGY STAR and Built Green Colorado. In fact, 100% of our homes are labeled ENERGY STAR and Built Green. From our quality workmanship and innovative environmental programs, to our reasonable pricing and flexibility in design, no one else offers you the benefits of an Aspen Home.

Building Alternatives, Inc.
Building Alternatives, Inc. was founded in 1985 to offer alternatives to traditional forms of construction with particular attention paid to energy efficiency and the wise use of our precious resources. I have always believed that Affordability and Value go hand in hand, or at least they should. Any product can be made "cheaper" but this rarely makes it a better value. You may pay less up front and end up paying more for it over the life of the building. As is the case with the utility bills of a poorly insulated building. Also, the price you pay may not only be in dollars but also in the comfort level of your home.

Lamar Valley Craftsmen
Americans spend upwards of 90% of their lives inside buildings between work, school and home, and in many cases pollutants often exceed outside levels by two to three times. It is no surprise that studies show that green buildings have a positive influence on the quality of our lives. Green building practices are linked to a laundry list of factors that are important to families. Many people worry about the bottom line construction costs that must be paid for now. No matter how green the future benefits, cash on the barrelhead drives most decisions. Some studies show green building costs 3-8% more than traditional building, not bad considering the benefits. My experience is that most of the green building practices cost about the same as similar quality custom construction. In fact, much of green building practice is merely choosing quality design and construction methods instead of mindlessly practicing 1970’s era construction techniques.

Markel Homes
Markel Homes, one of Colorado’s premier homebuilders, plans, develops and builds Colorado neighborhoods that embody the natural landscape and comfortable lifestyle of the West. Innovative design and distinctive architecture are characteristic of a Markel community, along with quality construction and Built Green™ practices. For nearly three decades, Markel Homes has created communities that complement the values and appeal to the needs of the citizens of Colorado.
In the ‘90s, Markel Homes gained prominence in the high-end, semi-custom single and multi-family home niche. While we continue to excel in the creation of signature homes like those of Niwot Meadow Farm and White Hawk Ranch, a change in market and economic conditions, along with a shift in values for many Americans, is encouraging our expansion into the mid-range housing market. This broadening of focus marks the beginnings of a fresh architectural style for Markel. The sprawling home of the ‘90s is giving way to the contemporary New West home, a style defined by natural building materials, environmental preservation, water conservation, and a Colorado palette to mirror the region’s dramatic landscape. The “New West” collection from Markel embraces the appeal of Colorado, and turns it into a home.
