Thinking Green

At Morgan-Keefe Builders, we honor our commitment to our clients and the environment by building custom homes using only the highest quality materials and superior craftsmanship. Our uncompromising commitment to quality ensures our luxury homes will be cherished for many generations to come. Enduring quality is the cornerstone of our environmental approach to construction.

Over the past decade, a growing environmental awareness has inspired interest in sustainable construction and design. For clients interested in exploring “green” building, MKB is pleased to offer proven technologies and construction methods that minimize environmental impacts and energy consumption.

We are pleased to have partnered with a number of environmentally sensitive luxury communities in the region including Asheville's Versant, The Cliffs communities, Balsalm Mountain Preserve in Western North Carolina, and The Reserve at Lake Keowee in upstate South Carolina.

MKB is a platinum member of the Western North Carolina Green Building Council and is helping combat global climate change through the Appalachian Offsets program. By neutralizing our office’s carbon footprint, we support local programs that reduce the amount of greenhouse gases generated in our community.

In recent years, nature—unspoiled and protected—has become one of the most sought-after amenities in luxury mountain communities across the Carolinas. While a growing number of high-end communities do address environmental concerns, luxury home builders have been slower to embrace “green” construction—in large measure due to a misconception that quality must be sacrificed for environmental efficiency.
