Welcome to PolarBearConstruction.com

Polar Bear Construction has been building custom homes and providing services for residential remodels and additions since 1985. Since the company's inception, one of owner Barrett Burr's main goals has been to offer his customers opportunities to incorporate, "green building" technologies and materials into their projects. In the 1980's, this was called "energy efficient construction"; in the 1990's, "healthy home design"; and now it's called "green building", or "sustainable design."

 

At Polar Bear Construction, we listen carefully to our customers and work diligently to understand their design goals and criteria. We strive to constantly educate ourselves regarding the latest construction technologies and present these new ideas, when appropriate and applicable, to our customers.

 

In the end, Polar Bear Construction creates a project that is good for the customer, good for the company, and good for the place where we all live.

 
BUILDING "GREEN"…WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Building "green" is a huge concept. It has an impact on the environment, economics, your health and the health of your family, politics, and many other areas of concern to all of us. It begins the moment you make the decision to build and from there, proceeds to touch every aspect of the process. It continues as an on-going example of who you are and how you live. Size, style, materials, and systems all determine the degree of "greenness".

 

Building green means that you consider the overall impact of the materials, techniques, and systems that you choose for your building project as they relate to the natural and human-made environments. The “greenest” construction projects produce the least amount of waste. They result in buildings that require less energy to build and less energy to operate and maintain, once they are completed. They have features that contribute to reducing our impact on the natural world and our dependence on and consumption of finite natural resources.

 

Green buildings are sustainable.  Sustainable is defined as, "To keep in existence, able to keep from yielding or failing during stress. to provide with nourishment."
