BETTER BUILD

FEATURES

As a company Keogh Construction believes in going above and beyond to build homes that are sustainable and that take into consideration the construction industry’s impact on the environment. We take extra steps to ensure homes remain comfortable and functional despite our climate’s extreme fluctuations in weather. Learning from our 22 years of experience, we have researched, tested and redesigned our processes, allowing us to create a new standard for how we build into the future. We are Reimagining the way we build which can be expressed within our company’s values and pillars of sustainability:

Reimagined

When applicable, we salvage previously used building materials which would otherwise enter landfill sites such as reclaimed bricks, hardwood and stone. Any materials that are not suitable for our projects are donated to local charitable organizations that benefit from selling used building material.

Biophilic Design

We recognize that humans are intimately connected to nature. We use this architectural approach to ensure that the environment inside the home respects and takes advantage of the cognitive, physiological and psychological benefits of nature to complement and enhance this connection. This includes the careful use of natural materials, like wood and stone, as well as considering the cycle of humans and nature.

Healthy Home

Our homes are designed, constructed and renovated using methods and materials that are carefully chosen to proactively improve the health and well-being of those living within it. We take into consideration and strive to eliminate exposure to potential mold, volatile organic compounds (VOC), radon, radiation and materials that off gas.

Low Life Cycle Impact

Through careful design and sourcing, we aim to use products with low embodied energy to reduce the environmental footprint of the building. We also attempt to seek out materials that require low maintenance during their lifespan and those that can be reclaimed or recycled when no longer needed to decrease future contributions to landfills.

Durable and Resilient

By using durable materials, we are decreasing the use of raw materials, energy and production of greenhouse gases that would otherwise be associated with more frequent replacement of less durable products. We also carefully consider designing and building houses that maintain or regain functionality and vitality after stresses or disturbances (manmade or natural).

Local

We aim to use local products in our construction in order to support the community, reduce our carbon footprint, and ensure the product manufacturers are adhering to the same environmental guidelines that we are familiar with.

Affordable

Ensuring products are affordable to the average consumer is important to us therefore we take the time to find a balance between products that follow our sustainability goals and making sure they are priced fairly.
