PEMBROKE, NH. – Building on its experience designing thousands of custom homes and its leadership in delivering homes built to the highest green standards in the country, Epoch Homes (www.EpochHomes.com)
“While Epoch Homes enjoys working with customers who have strong ideas on what they want in a fully custom green home, we are also aware that there are many customers who would rather rely on our research and experience for their design,” says Company CEO, John Ela. The Eco Collection Homes are designed to balance budget with sustainable design options. Ela says, “Our design goal was to expand upon our custom designed homes by offering some value engineered green homes that are lower cost to purchase and operate, while still offering a healthy lifestyle and resource efficiency.
