| New line of energy efficient homes  Schumacher Homes introduced an innovative line of energy efficient homes called the G-Line. The G-Line provides a unique combination of Design Driven and Carbon Conscious homes specifically developed for the homebuyer that is looking to make a statement and help protect the environment. The unique designs in this collection of custom homes provide a synergy between traditional and contemporary style, but just as importantly embody the principals of sustainable design to decrease negative impact on the environment. Each home comes with an array of carbon conscious standard features including high-efficiency HVAC systems, spray foam insulation in exterior walls and water saving lav faucets and shower heads. In addition, every home will be Energy Star certified in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Government. Each one of these features contributes to lower energy bills, energy conservation and an eco-friendly design. "We believe today's homebuyer is concerned with the effects that every aspect of our lives have on our environment, but also wants a unique and progressive architectural design. That's why the G-Line has been designed to be both energy efficient and uniquely individual. And with homes starting in the low $100's, the G-Line provides an affordable opportunity to build the home they desire," states Paul T. Schumacher, CEO and founder of Schumacher Homes. The G-Line will initially offer 12 new plans with 24 total elevations split evenly between the Next Gen Traditional line and the Eco Contemporary line. Schumacher has a variety of additional architectural styles and builds homes from the low $100's to over $750,000 and from 1300 sq. ft. to over 8000. More than 300 floor plans can be viewed on the Schumacher Homes intuitive, user-friendly and informative website. Each floor plan can be customized to meet the buyer's needs. Schumacher offers their customers new homes in multiple styles, including one-story, two-story, American Tradition, Craftsman, French Country, Coastal and Mountain-Cabin styles. They are committed to a straightforward custom homebuilding process and are the first homebuilder in the country to use Smart Board technology in the design and pricing of their custom homes. They have developed the Best Value Price Quote system, a state-of-the-art price quote program that presents hundreds of standard and optional features, showing all pricing, descriptions, and images of the selections made. By providing customers with quality, value, selection and service, Schumacher Homes has earned various industry awards including the Owens Corning National Master Builder of the Year and #1 Design Center in America presented by National Association of Home Builders. Schumacher Homes has also been awarded the coveted Diamond Builder status by 2-10 Home Buyer's Warranty. More than 15,000 builders are enrolled in 2-10 HBW's warranty program nationwide and only 45 builders nationwide hold the Diamond Builder status.
