Go Green Construction was founded on the concept of using an ecologically conscious approach to building to help preserve our environment. We have extensive experience with most green building materials and techniques. In 2007, Go Green began a case study project we call Playa in the Westchester area of Los Angeles. This project has been pre-rated LEED Platinum, the highest rating awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council.  So far we have deconstructed the existing single-family home—taking it apart board by board, nail by nail; diverting 95% of the material from landfills.  Go Green is a member of the USGBC, Build it Green, and Global Green, and is an Energy Star Partner, and an AIA affiliate.

Since 2005, Harrell Remodeling has made a substantial commitment to green building and its practices, however they were employing sustainable solutions long before then just as a matter of routine service for their clients. When the Build It Green Certified Green Builder Program (CGBP) was developed, the entire staff, including designers, builders, and sales people all completed the certification and continue to maintain it. Harrell Remodeling is also affiliated with the USGBC, Santa Clara County Green Business Program, and Build It Green.

Jeff King (CEO and Founder) and Will Gunderman (Production Manager) are NARI Certified Green Building Professionals and members of the Green Remodelers Guild.

Koffka Phakos Design has had a sustainable approach to architecture since our founding in 2002. In one notable project, we designed an addition to the 1940s home of a family of artists. A new tower inserted into the courtyard affords views across the Sunset Park neighborhood while capturing ocean breezes and eliminating the need for air conditioning. Demolition was kept to a minimum and construction waste was recycled. Principals Cynthia Phakos and Adrian Koffka are both LEED Accredited Professionals. Cynthia Phakos was a recent contributor to GreenHomeGuide’s Ask A Pro column.
