ProConnect Builder Wins Prestigious
BALA Award

ProConnect partner ABODE Builders of New England recently won the gold award for the best green-built home in the 2009 Best in American Living Award competition sponsored by Professional Builder magazine and the National Home Builders Association. The house features an environmental-friendly propane heating system, fireplace, cooktop, and oven.

Utilizing a blend of stick-built and modular construction, ABODE Builders of New England was able to deliver this 1,680-square-foot model home in just 31 days from foundation to window treatments. Its transitional mountain-home style targets affluent second-home buyers, with an open floor plan and 9-foot ceilings that make it live large. Features include soapstone countertops, reclaimed oak floors, and solid fir beams. The home is 5+ Energy Star rated and certified Gold under BuildGreen NH as well as Platinum under LEED for Homes.

Teaming up with ProConnect manufacturer partners Keiser Homes of Maine, who built modules for the company's design center, and Epoch Homes of New Hampshire, who helped supply modules for its model home, ABODE is well on its way to establishing itself as a leader in "green building" with style.
