Is Green Building more expensive?
No. This is a popular and unfortunate misconception that results from inexperienced builders trying to “green” a project after it has been designed. Green building is an integrated process that requires vision and commitment from the beginning. LDI can lead your project team and maintain your budget.
LDI is committed to Sustainable, Livable & Responsible Design.
