We began by building passive solar homes in the late 80's, and then in 1990, put more emphasis on energy efficiency to compliment the solar design.  Soon we incorporated radiant floor heating and ventilation systems and began thinking about the construction of our homes as a system.  We pioneered the construction of super-insulated homes and monolithic insulated slab foundations through the 90's.  Over the last ten years, we've expanded our offerings by adding several different building systems, all concentrating on "Green" building techniques, and in various price ranges.   Today, we continue to develop new ideas and techniques, always staying on the cutting-edge.  We have always focused on affordability, and our homes remain competitively priced.   We are Maine's original "Green" builder, and now that "Green" ideas are becoming more popular, we are enjoying "coming into our own", so to speak.

We concentrate on details, from the design and specifications, to waterproofing the foundation, to blocking and nailers in the framing, to sealing air-leaks, to flashing windows, to keeping a straight line on the roof drip edge, to keeping a clean jobsite, to making sure the insulation is installed correctly, to touching up any little drywall issue, to carefully color matching wood putty for nail holes, etc...   You'd be hard-pressed to find another builder as detail-oriented as Design Concepts Company.  Ask our references.
