My experience with Mark Bondurant and Rare Earth Builders was the best building experience, yet! This was my third project from the ground up and our healthy built home turned out beautifully. Mark is a true gentleman and he surrounds himself with a fine crew. The site was always managed well, clean, and efficient. Each member offered creative and cost effective ideas while maintaining a quality of workmanship far exceeding our expectations. With plans in hand, we started asking around for the best builder to handle our green building project.
After millions of years of evolution, our lives and the lives of countless other truly amazing creatures have become uniquely suited to the Earth's biosphere. Nowhere else have we found such a hospitable, nurturing home in the vast universe. Thus the name Rare Earth. We believe it is urgent that humankind--with humility and deep appreciation--assume the role of caretaker for this blue planet. We at Rare Earth Builders are seeking to contribute to the healing of Earth by using more sustainable practices within the realm of human shelter.
At Rare Earth, we do green new construction and green remodeling and additions. We also offer consulting services, whether it involves siting the home, a review of the design or acting as the consulting general contractor for a DIY project. We believe a home should inspire with beauty, be functional, durable and promote healthy, comfortable living. What it should not be is parasitic on the environment. We build our homes to work with Nature. They harvest sunlight for winter heat and daylighting, for domestic hot water and in some cases for electricity.
