OAKWOOD IS AN
ECO-WISE BUILDER
OakWood has not only incorporated
green practices into
our way of doing business but
we also provide you with expert
advice on how to design and
build your renovation in a way
that reduces the impact on the
environment.
Our proactive eco-wise practices
also include:
• The use of sustainable materials
and methods that use
fewer resources to build, less
energy to operate, have a reduced
impact on the environment
whenever possible, and
when economically feasible.
• We support suppliers and
design professionals who
share our philosophy and our
commitment to the planet
and that use sustainable and
renewable resources.
Green material options
OakWood offers a wide range of
green material selection options
in most product categories. For
example:
• Dual flush toilets are offered
as one of our five standard
toilet options included in our
price.
• We offer LED light fixtures for
a modest upgrade.
• Flooring products with natural,
biodegradable materials
such as wool carpets, bamboo
and cork flooring.
You are in control
The level of “greenness” of your
project is totally up to you. We
will always use OakWood’s high
green standards as a base and
allow you to determine how
much greener you want the
design and build of your project
to be. OakWood will help guide
you all the way.
