Oakwood has the best green contractors

In addition to technology trends, OakWood has also been quick to adopt green practices as a way of doing business. And it actively supports the Canada Green Building Council mission to lead and generate the transformation to high-performing, healthy green buildings, homes, and communities throughout Canada.

“Green building or sustainable building practices are a fast changing part of our industry,” comments Liptak. “New technologies and products are constantly being developed. “A good Renovator today will not only incorporate green practices into their way of doing business but also provide you with expert advice on how to design and build your renovation in a way that reduces the impact on the environment.”  

Proactive eco-wise practices adopted by OakWood include the use of sustainable materials and methods that use fewer resources to build, less energy to operate, and have a reduced impact on the environment whenever possible, and when economically feasible. OakWood offers a range of green material selection options in most product categories. Dual flush toilets are offered as one of five standard toilet options that are included in OakWood’s price. LED light fixtures are offered for a modest upgrade, and many other green options. “We also support suppliers and design professionals who share our philosophy and our commitment to the planet and that use sustainable and renewable resources,” says Liptak.

Like many “green contractors”, OakWood is constantly growing and learning in its commitment to environmentally sensitive building practices. “The good news is that green products are constantly being developed and improved, becoming more durable, affordable, and widely available,” comments Liptak.
