Although it is something that may be an impossible dream, 100% client satisfaction is the goal of Dresler Construction. Our company realizes that that satisfaction starts with the initial meeting and continues with the design and bidding process, but ultimately it is going to be the quality and the flow of the project that encourages clients to recommend Dresler Construction.

Eco Builders
"Sustainable living" is our mantra. With this in mind Eco Builders has committed itself to do its part with "sustainable living" practices. We are a member of United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and Minnesota GreenStar.
What sets us apart from other builders and remodelers is that we work with the homeowner and look at the whole project.

We're not just here to build on an idea but to take that idea to a new level, to consider:

• Resource Management
• Air Quality
• Energy Efficiency
• Water Conservation
• Land Management
• Sustainability
• Durability
• Design
• Functionality
• and Project Cost

In the end the homeowner receives a better product one that is: sustainable, durable, aesthetically appealing, and within budget.

Being green does not always have to translate into higher costs. The benefits of doing it right the first time always saves money over the long term.

Some of the simple things we do:

• Low VOC paints and adhesives
• Efficient use of resources--minimize waste
• Recycle waste material--as available
• Use prefabricated floor joists and beams
• Minimize use of solid lumber larger than 2x8
• Energy star lighting
• Energy star appliances
• Low flow fixtures
• No added urea-formaldehyde resins

Framing Methods we like to use:

• Advance Framing Techniques (minimizes lumber waste, maintains complete structural integrity)
• SIPs (structural insulated panels)

Foundation Options:

• ICF's
• SIP's
• Insulated pre-fab blocks
• Ask about other possibilities

Other "sustainable living" considerations:

• Re-use Material
• Recycled Material--many options
• FSC wood products
• Insulation other than fiberglass
• Grey water recycle
• Cisterns (water collection drums)
• Rain Gardens (on site water collection)

We also promote the use of on-site Water Collection and Reuse, Solar Thermal and PV, Geo-Thermal, and long term durability materials such as stucco, cement fiber siding, and metal roofing.
