Our typical client has done their homework. They have investigated different building methods, and understand the benefits of ICF construction. They have some knowledge of spray foam insulation, Geothermal heating/cooling, solar, and LED lighting. We are here to help you make the right decisions to maximize your building budget and get the house you want. The building choices you make now will determine the performance of your house for generations to come. We can also help with drawing or modifying building plans as necessary.
We can all switch to the newest light fixture and appliances as they become more energy efficient, but the "building envelope", the walls, floor, windows, doors and roof system (and the insulation in them) are not so easy to replace. We use the industries "best practices" to make sure that all these elements are designed and built to the highest standards because the main structure of your building will last for centuries if it is built correctly. At The Hybrid Group Inc, we are constantly studying building science and improved techniques in order to bring you a higher quality, longer lasting, and more energy efficient building.
Commercial Buildings typically have much higher heating/cooling costs, per square foot, than homes. A large part of this is due to the inefficiency of common commercial building methods; Steel frame buildings with vinyl faced roll insulation (compressed under the purlins), and CMU (concrete block) construction are standards, but perform terribly. Unfortunately, many builders and designers are stuck in the "this is how we've always done it" mentality. Many Architects are reluctant to suggest new and improved methods because they don't know builders with expertise in these areas.
As the Hybrid Group we have been servicing clients as full time ICF builders since last year however, individually, owners Skipper Smotherman and Jon Mitchell have been working and perfecting their ICF skills since 2000. The goal of the Hybrid Group is to provide premier energy efficient designs and builds to clients all over the Southeastern United States. We have the general contracting experience and expertise you need with the knowledge of innovative techniques to give you, Yesterday's craftsmanship with Tomorrow's building solutions!
