Not green. Not "efficient." Not smart.
Healthy.
Here to protect you and your family.
I'm Courtney Carmadelle: licensed contractor, certified building biologist and functional medicine practitioner. I've spent 8 years building chemical-free homes for my own family. Now I build them for yours.
Everyone's selling a "healthy home" now.
Most of them aren't.
A green home, an energy-efficient home and a smart home are not healthy homes. Many builders spray-foam the walls, wire every room for Wi-Fi, seal the house tight and call it healthy. That's efficiency, not health. Here's the difference.
| "Healthy" by most builders | Building Healthy Homes™ | |
|---|---|---|
| Insulation | Spray foam, sealed tight | Natural, breathable materials. No spray foam, ever |
| Finishes | Whatever's standard or on sale | Every paint, floor, cabinet and adhesive chosen with you for low chemical load |
| Air | HVAC sized for energy savings | Fresh air, filtration and humidity planned for your lungs |
| Water | Straight from the tap | Whole-home filtration designed in from day one |
| Moisture and mold | Fixed after it shows up | Moisture managed from the foundation up |
| Wiring | "Smart," Wi-Fi in every room | Hardwired and EMF-conscious, especially where you sleep |
| Who's behind it | A builder who took a weekend course | A licensed contractor who's also a building biologist and functional medicine practitioner, and lives in her own healthy home |
I don't just design healthy homes. I live in one.
My family's health is why this company exists. When we needed answers, I didn't find them in one more supplement. I found them in our house. So I became a licensed contractor and a certified building biologist, and I've spent the last 8 years building and renovating chemical-free homes for my own family.
No other builder brings what I do to your project: the construction license, the building biology, and the functional medicine background to understand what your home is doing to your body. I've done it for myself first, and every lesson goes into your home.

A healthy home should also be a safe home.
The more "smart" a house gets, the more ways it can fail you. When the grid goes down or someone's trying to get in through your Wi-Fi, a wired-up home leaves your family exposed.
My Safe Home upgrade is the opposite of a home that's all Wi-Fi'd up:
- Backup power and water planned in, so your family is covered if the grid goes down
- Hardwired systems instead of everything on Wi-Fi
- Fewer connected devices, so there are fewer ways in for hackers
- Controls that still work when the internet doesn't
Beautiful, and built clean
Healthy doesn't mean plain. Every finish here was chosen for how it looks and for what it doesn't put into the air.
Build it right. Build it once.
Fixing a sick house after you move in costs more, in money and in health, than building it right the first time. Let's do it right.
The Sick Home™ quiz
Do you have a Sick Home™?
A Sick House™ doesn't always look sick. It can be brand new, beautiful and expensive. Check everything that's true for you.
The new standard for new homes.
Every new build that meets my standard is certified Building Healthy Homes Approved™. That stamp isn't marketing. It's your protection and your proof.
Documented, start to finish
The materials, methods and systems in your home are reviewed and recorded to my standard, so you know exactly what's in your walls.
A home that stands apart
When it's time to sell, certified tells buyers your home is truly healthy, not just green, efficient or "smart."
No shortcuts hiding
No spray foam, no off-gassing shortcuts, no house that's all Wi-Fi'd up. Just a home built to protect your family.
This is the new standard. Join us.
Healthy homes are becoming the norm, and buyers can tell the difference between the real thing and a sales pitch.
