You might have read here a few weeks ago [click here for article] that one of our faithful readers was trying to build an environmentally sensitive, or "green," home in South Carolina but was running into something called a "preferred builders" program. Developers use such programs to control the number of builders on property and, some believe, as part of an "old boys network."
But practical good sense has trumped the traditional arrangement and our reader has just received the go-ahead to bring in his own experienced builder to develop a green home. Good for him, good for the developer and good for the planet.
