Building green is the preference for those who want an energy efficient structure that incorporates environmental and sustainability features.
Henson Contractors, Inc. is a registered certified agent for the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC). HCI can help our clients achieve the level of green certification that they desire, ranging from Bronze to Platinum levels. To be considered green certified, a structure must be built with at least minimum criteria in eight categories.
