Vision

When possible, we encourage our clients to work with less toxic, more sustainable products and recycled / re-used materials.

During the demolition phase of construction, Natural Structures makes every effort to re-purpose those materials that can be re-used in order to cut-down on waste going into the landfill.

We also require our carpentry team to be conscious of how they dispose of waste and encourage them to conduct themselves respectfully toward the property and land. This all being said, we believe in the Cradle to Cradle framework which states that we should constantly improve and move “from simply being less bad to become more good”.

We therefore, continue to envision our projects being truly sustainable. We hope that our work now will lead to a world in which homes are made from responsibly locally farmed forests and use building materials and technology that enhance the environment we all share

Natural Structures wishes to keep working together with all disciplines to keep the home building industry moving in the direction of true cradle to cradle sustainability.
