For more than 10 years, Beckett Construction has helped architects and clients promote better living through smarter building. We work hand-in-hand to craft durable, comfortable, and efficient homes that are both healthy and sound. Here’s what makes a Beckett-built home a healthy investment.
1) DURABILITY BY DESIGN: Building a durable home isn’t just about picking the right materials; it’s about smart design and quality construction that work with the site and the environment. Every detail in the building process has a lasting impact.
2) A FOCUS ON HEALTH & WELLNESS: Once durability is addressed, we shift our focus to health and wellness. Home gyms, saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools support a healthy lifestyle, but they won’t matter much without clean air and water. These are core considerations that we address first.
3) WHAT YOU DON’T SEE MATTERS: A healthy home starts with solid construction and safe materials that you might not see but will wholly affect how you feel inside. This includes keeping moisture in check, reducing harmful air pollutants, ensuring good ventilation, and creating a comfortable space that limits exposure to pests and allergens.
4) CALIBRATING COMFORT: Once we’ve covered durability and health, we think about comfort. Comfort isn’t simply about temperature — it’s more complex. Comfort comes from the combination of air temperature, the temperature of surfaces in the room, and the way air moves around the spaces.
5) MANAGING TEMPERATURE: A comfortable home balances how well the building retains heat and blocks drafts. When walls or windows are significantly warmer or colder than the indoor air, you have to adjust the thermostat to get comfortable. Controlling heat Flow and preventing leaks is crucial to maintaining comfort.
6) DUCT EFFICIENCY: Efficient ductwork is critical for controlling airflow and temperature. If ducts have leaks or are located in unconditioned spaces, they can waste energy and make heating and cooling less efficient and less effective.
7) ADDITIONAL FACTORS: Beyond temperature, a comfortable home also considers acoustics, lighting, and how much control you have over your environment. All of these elements—structure, heating and cooling systems, and control mechanisms—need to work together seamlessly.
8) ENERGY EFFICIENCY: With durability, health, wellness, and comfort covered, we focus on making the home energy-efficient. This step ties the previous together for maximum impact.
