Satisfied BUILT SMART Customers:
  • I liked the old Super Good Cents program but the new BUILT SMART program is even better! More incentives, simpler process and same great service. Roger H. Newell, Architect
  • Having a BUILT SMART building gave me a real edge. Not only did it save me a lot of money but my tenants love the comfort and their low energy bills. Steve Taylor, Developer
  • Mordecai Cooke (of the BUILT SMART program) was very thorough in his inspections. He assured us as owners that our building is insulated and vented properly. I believe this building is the best quality insulation of all our previous as a result of his insistence on quality installation. He is a tough inspector with very good delivery, which makes people want to work for him. Dee McGonigle, Developer
