Building Green using Engineered Wood in the Atlanta - Athens Georgia area

Here in Georgia, especially in Atlanta and Athens, building material supply dealers are searching for ways to increase sales, while simultaneously contributing to sustainablity. It's no secret that suppliers are promoting green building products more heavily. This appeals to the Generation Y "shadow buyers" that have not yet formed new households. Here in Georgia, We have "pent-up demand" from these potential buyers that could cause a surge in new home purchases. Engineered wood and engineered lumber products will appeal to these new prospects that have a “build green” mind-set. Many people prefer to live in a green home, even considering the higher costs. Composite wood products for decks, such as those manufactured by TimberTech, are not only green building products, but are also low-maintenance.
Builders Don’t Tell Buyers About Homes’ Green Features, Study Shows
Pros are “missing out on a very important opportunity” because consumers are clamoring for these features, says official of J.D. Power and Associates, which conducted the study.
