Builder-to-Builder Green Forum

Few would argue that thoughtfully designed homes and communities can have a positive and lasting effect on the health of the people who live there and on the environment as a whole. But for those who plan, design, and build residential housing there may be more questions than answers. PCBC and the leading practitioners and visionaries in sustainable design and development have designed a one day event that moves the conversation from simply embracing green building techniques to creating communities for all to live well.

Join leading practitioners, green building peers and industry experts for the Builder-to-Builder Green Forum, June 24 at PCBC® 2008. Together, we will test the business case for sustainable development.

• Learn what it takes to get a green project approved and capitalized. Who has the money and what’s the right pitch to get it?
• Discover the latest consumer research. What do home buyers really care about? What market segments should you go after? How does green marketing look, sound and feel different?
• Listen as industry leaders cut to the chase on hard costs, price premiums, customer satisfaction, warranty costs, referral rates and R&D.
• Ask master plan community developers what they are expecting from their building partners. How do you create strong alliances between builders and developers to deliver greener (and more profitable) projects?
• Challenge ivory tower assumptions and get your questions answered by people you trust.
