Here are a few of our guiding principles for your consideration:

Energy Efficiency/Sustainability

These are words you hear a lot these days - At MCB our focus is on minimizing environmental resources, maximizing savings thru energy efficiency, increasing home comfort and creating a healthy home.
The core of your MCB home is the structural envelope, which combines: concrete, timber frame, and Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) for walls & roof.
For more than 30 years SIPs have the proven performance over traditional framing:

- Save up to 55% on utility bills,

- More environmentally responsible,

- Exceptional indoor air quality (IAQ) and temperature control.

SIP's are one of the most environmentally responsible building systems available.
The insulation used in SIPs is a lightweight rigid foam plastic composed of 98% air, and requires only a small amount of petroleum to produce.
While it is true that the use of wood as a building material has some negative impact on the environment, the truth is that timber frame construction uses less wood than conventional platform construction.

Cost Efficient Design & Construction Principles

Timber Frame & SIP designs are 2 ½ times stronger than traditional framing with the benefit to you of saving framing/construction time, energy use, environmental resources, reduced labor, fewer trades, and most importantly – money, all the while offering the highest performance building envelope.
A great advantage of building with SIP Panels stems from the benefit of being made with "factory precision". This precision enables the home to be very tight, which reduces the size of your heating and air conditioning unit (HVAC) by up to 20%, giving you immediate savings.
SIP & Timber Framing positively impact many stages of the building process. It’s simple: you can save money through decreased construction and labor costs.

- Electrical chases are factory installed, eliminating the time and labor expense associated with on-site drilling.

- SIP Panel walls are flat and plumb so the drywall contractor completes his work faster along with a better final finish.

- Interior finishes, including cabinetry, flooring, moldings, etc. will be installed easier due to the continuous attachment surface

Lifestyle Living

The primary objective is to team with you to clearly understand how you live your life and to get the design right the first time, eliminating costly change orders and time delays.
Focus of MCB designs are around comfort, low maintenance and using natural resources more efficiently helping to create a sustainable future in a healthy home environment.
