GOING GREEN
Green building is more than a fad, and our specifications have always kept energy-efficiency in mind. There are many shades of green when it comes to building a home, and we pride ourselves on helping our clients understand the difference. From energy-efficiency to sustainable products use, let us help you make the world a little greener. We are certified in the “NAHB National Green Building Program”, meet “EnergyStar” requirements, and our Bradley Green Home was “LEED-certified”.
PRACTICAL GREEN
Precision construction methods are used to create a significantly tighter building envelope. Our homes have an enhanced insulation package with increased “R-values” and use 2×6 lumber on exterior walls. This increases the insulation area by more the 50% compared to traditional construction. Our homes use a “Tuff-n-Dri” 30 year warranted foundation waterproofing, which provides an unsurpassed barrier against water infiltration. Our homes are approximately 40% more efficient than the average home.


REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Our homes use energy-efficient products such as “ENERGY STAR” appliances, “Low E” high performance windows, insulated doors, energy efficient “hybrid” heating and cooling systems, water-saving plumbing faucets and hot water pipes are insulated to retain temperature. Many of our homeowners have taken advantage of geothermal systems, rainwater collection, and solar hot water heaters.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Sandy Spring Builders is a proactive community builder. We sponsor schools and non-profits throughout the area (Bethesda Elementary, Bethesda Chevy Chase High School, Somerset Elementary, Westland Middle School, and more). We built a school library pro-bono at the Abram Simon School in a very poor section of Southeast Washington. We were the builders and developers of the Shirley Povich Baseball Field at Cabin John Park which is enjoyed by thousands of Montgomery County baseball fans yearly, and we helped restore two youth baseball fields in the Washington area.
NON-PROFIT SUPPORT
We support and work for Habitat for Humanity, and have given both money and time to many community non-profit organizations including News Literacy Project, Rebuilding Together Montgomery, and the Children’s Inn at NIH, just to name a few. Sandy Spring Builders has been a sponsor and supporter of the Bethesda Green initiative. We are politically active and are environmentally-conscious builders who live, eat and work amongst our neighbors. With our enthusiastic team at Sandy Spring Builders, we actively participate in all endeavors from Habitat for Humanity Build days to the Somerset Elementary 8k!

RENEWING MONTGOMERY
We co-founded Renewing Montgomery to improve the dialogue between builders and neighbors during construction in established neighborhoods. In 2011 we became proud partners of the Bethesda Farmers Market and Bethesda Cares. We believe in being a part of our community… we believe in giving back to our community. Learn more.
